ASTM D6368-06(2018) - 1.7.2018
 
1. Scope

1.1 This standard covers solvents based on stabilized normal-propyl bromide (nPB) for use in vapor degreasing. The standard also includes a separate specification for technical-grade n-propyl bromide.

1.2 Blends and azeotropic mixtures of stabilized nPB for vapor-degreasing shall be blended from nPB meeting the specification for technical-grade nPB.

Note 1: Guide D3844, Practice D4276, and MNL22 provide additional important information on vapor degreasing and solvent properties.

1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
