1.1 本试验方法描述了通过透射光检查时，对透明液体外观的目测评估，以确定其清晰度以及是否存在不希望的成分（污染），如悬浮物、游离水（或油）和颗粒。本方法不包括需要仪器的测量。本试验方法最初设计用于船用乙醇和甲醇洗壁，但可能适用于其他透明液体。 1.1.1 该方法可用作储存温度下的现场试验或室温下的实验室试验。 1.1.2 该方法可快速通过/失败测试透明液体的透明度和污染。这只是一个定性评估。 1.2 查看当前适当的安全数据表（SDS），了解有关毒性、急救程序和安全预防措施的详细信息。 1.3 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 关于危险的章节中给出了具体的危险说明 8. . ====意义和用途====== 5.1 该方法提供了透明液体外观的合格/不合格测试。许多液体有机产品都有产品规范，要求其清澈明亮，不含可见颗粒物和除主液外的液相。 这些液体有机产品的生产商需要一种测试方法来确认其产品的质量符合产品外观规格。外观是对乙烯、丙二醇和多元醇产品的制造和销售规范测试，以及对船舶甲醇洗壁的装载规范测试。本试验方法最初设计用于海洋船舶的二醇和甲醇洗壁，但可能适用于其他透明液体。对其他透明液体使用本试验方法的个人应确保该方法足以使用。 5.2 有许多因素可能会影响液体产品采样期间和之后的外观。这些因素可能包括将液体转移到不同的样品容器、样品容器的污染或周围大气的污染。 需要遵循采样和评估程序，以避免不良影响，并确保样品的外观是制造液体的典型外观。

1.1 This test method describes the visual assessment of the appearance of clear, transparent liquids for clarity and the presence of undesirable components (contamination) such as suspended matter, free water (or oil) and particulates when examined by transmitted light. Measurements requiring instrumentation are not included in this method. This test method was originally designed for application to glycols and methanol wall washes of marine vessels but may be applicable to other clear transparent liquids. 1.1.1 This method can be used as a field test at storage temperatures or as a laboratory test at room temperatures. 1.1.2 This method provides a rapid pass/fail test for clarity and contamination of clear, transparent liquids. It is a qualitative assessment only. 1.2 Review the current appropriate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first aid procedures, and safety precautions. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This 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 the section on Hazards, Section 8 . ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This method provides a pass/fail test for appearance of clear, transparent liquids. Many liquid organic products have a product specification requiring them to be clear and bright and free of visible particulate matter and of liquid phases other than the main liquid. Producers of these liquid organic products need a test method to confirm the quality of their products meets product specifications for appearance. Appearance is a manufacturing and sales specification test for ethylene and propylene glycol and polyol products and a loading specification test for methanol wall washes of marine vessels. This test method was originally designed for application to glycols and methanol wall washes of marine vessels, but may be applicable to other clear, transparent liquids. Individuals using this test method for other clear transparent liquids should assure themselves that the method is sufficient for use. 5.2 There are many factors that could affect the appearance during and after sampling of a liquid product. These factors may include transferring of the liquid into a different sample container, contamination by the sample container or contamination by ambient atmosphere. Sampling and evaluation procedures need to be followed to avoid undesirable effects and assure the appearance of the sample is typical for the liquid as manufactured.
