ASTM D2318 Test Method for Quinoline-Insoluble (QI) Content of Tar and Pitch
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the quinoline-insoluble matter (QI) in tar and pitch.
1.2 Since this test method is empirical, strict adherence to all details of the procedure is necessary.
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.
