ASTM D801-02(2009)

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation:D801–97 Designation: D 801 – 02 (Reapproved 2009)
Standard Test Methods for
Sampling and Testing Dipentene
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 801; 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.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for sampling and testing dipentene and related terpene solvents, consisting chiefly of
monocyclic terpene hydrocarbons distilling above the range for turpentine.
1.2 The procedures given in these test methods appear in the following order:
Section
Sampling 4
Detection and Removal of Separated Water 5
Appearance 6
Color 7
Odor 8
Specific Gravity 9
Refractive Index 10
Composition 11
Flash Point 12
Moisture 13
1.3
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This 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.

rather than the chemical composition of dipentene. These procedures were sufficient when dipentene was used primarily as a
solvent. Currently, however, dipentene finds application as a chemical raw material and a knowledge of its chemical composition
is therefore important. Gas chromatography is the accepted method for determining the chemical composition of dipentene. An
ASTM test method using an existing ASTM test method using packed column gas chromatography can be used for the major
compounds in dipentene. A capillary GC procedure is currently being written which is suitable for both the major and minor
components.

as a solvent. Currently, however, dipentene finds application as a chemical raw material and a knowledge of its chemical
composition is therefore important. Test Methods D 6387 describe a capillary gas chromatography method which is suitable for

4. Sampling
4.1 Sample the material in accordance with the procedure described in Guide D 268 and Practice E 300. If a sample from close
to the bottom of a tank shows a decided difference in color or appearance from samples taken at other depths, take an extra bottom
sample and examine it separately from the composite sample. In such case the composite sample shall not include
