1.1These test methods cover procedures for sampling and testing pine oils, and are applicable to both natural pine oils derived from pine stumps either by the steam and solvent process or by destructive distillation, and also to synthetic pine oils obtained by the chemical hydration of terpene hydrocarbons.

1.2The procedures given in these test methods appear in the following order:

	Section
Sampling	4
Appearance	5
Color	6
Specific Gravity	7
Refractive Index	8
Composition	9
Moisture	10
