1.1This test method covers the determination of chloride ion in engine coolants in the range from 5 to 200 ppm in the presence of up to 0.6 weight % mercaptobenzothiazole.

1.2Other materials that react with silver ion will interfere.

1.3Chloride in engine coolants containing an aryltriazole instead of mercaptobenzothiazole can be determined directly by this test method without pretreatment with hydrogen peroxide.

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

1.5This 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. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 7.
