Standard Test Methods for
Determination of Amine Acid Acceptance (Alkalinity) of
Halogenated Organic Solvents
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2106; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
