Scope

This test method is suitable for setting specifications on industrial aromatic hydrocarbons and related materials and for use as an internal quality control tool.

This test method is a qualitative one for hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂). It should not be considered quantitative. It gives an indication of the presence of H₂S or SO₂, or both, which may cause objectionable odors or be corrosive to certain materials of construction.

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide content (qualitative) of industrial aromatic hydrocarbons.

1.2This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements see Section 6.
