BS 2068 specifies requirements for acetic anhydride suitable for industrial purposes. Acetic anhydride, or ethanoic anhydride, is the chemical compound with the formula (CH₃CO)₂O.
Acetic Anhydride is a clear liquid with a pungent, penetrating vinegar-like odour. It is widely used as an acetylating agent or in chemical synthesis.
BS 2068 on the specification for acetic anhydride is useful for:
British Standard acetic anhydride shall be clear and free from matter in suspension and shall consist essentially of acetic anhydride, (CH3CO)2O. BS 2068 provides you with the limit test for colour, inorganic chlorides, and inorganic sulphates.
BS 2068 provides you with the method for the determination of distillation range, ash, and anhydride content. BS 2068 helps you to manufacture high-quality acetic anhydride for industrial purposes.
