ASTM D7736-19

1.1 This test method covers the determination of free acids and glycol esters in ethylene glycol by titration.

1.2 Laboratory testing has proved that the test method can also be used on propylene glycol and 1,3-propanediol.

1.3 This test method is typically used on glycols used for the manufacture of engine coolant. It cannot be used on formulated engine coolant. The inhibitors will interfere with the determination.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
