BS 506-2:1984

What is BS 506-2 - Methanol for industrial use - Methods of test about?  

BS 506-2 is a British standard that discusses the analysis of methanol for industrial use. BS 506-2 gives general instructions and describes methods of test for the analysis of methanol for industrial use. 

The methods of test relating to methanol for industrial use are the following: 

• Determination of density at 20 °C 
• Determination of residue on evaporation on a water bath 
• Measurement of colour 
• Determination of distillation range 
• Determination of water content 
• Detection of the alkalinity or determination of the acidity to phenolphthalein 
• Estimation of content of carbonyl compounds present in lesser amounts — Spectrometric method 
• Estimation of content of carbonyl compounds present in moderate amounts — Titrimetric method 
• Test for miscibility with water 
• Determination of permanganate time 
• Determination of sulphur compounds 

Who is BS 506-2 - Methanol for industrial use - Methods of test for? 

BS 506-2 is on the methanol for industrial use - methods of test that is useful for: 

• Methanol producer and supplier 
• Analyzers 
• Chemical engineers 
• Manufacturers using methanol as raw materials 

Why should you use BS 506-2 - Methanol for industrial use - Methods of test?  

Methanol is used as a feedstock to produce chemicals such as acetic acid and formaldehyde, which in turn are used in products like adhesives, foams, plywood subfloors, solvents, and windshield washer fluid. 

BS 506-2 provides the test for the analysis of methanol for purity, contamination, composition, and other quality and chemical parameters. Methanol testing is available throughout the world. Methanol industrial use analysis reaches trace and ultra-trace levels. 

BS 506-2 assists you to improve the quality of methanol for industrial use which helps you to increase their sales and widens the market reach for the product. With a high quality of methanol, the user of BS 506-2 will be able to build consumer trust and confidence in their product. BS 506-2 provides you with the test methods or the analysis of methanol for industrial use. BS 506-2 enables you to identify methanol that is suitable for industrial use.
