(normative)
Determination of Acid Value of Organic Heat Transfer Fluid (by potentiometric
titration method)
A.1 Overview
A.1.1 The measurement range of this method (by KOH): 0.01 mg/g ~ 30 mg/g.
A.1.2 In this method, potassium hydroxide - isopropanol standard solution (hereinafter referred
to as KOH standard solution) is taken as the titrant, and a mixed solvent of toluene, isopropanol
and a small amount of water is used to dissolve the sample; through a combination electrode or
a pair of glass indicator electrodes - silver / silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) reference electrodes,
potentiometric titration is performed. In accordance with the volume of the KOH standard
solution consumed and the potential value, draw a titration curve, and judge the endpoint and
stoichiometric point by the jump point on the curve. When there are many kinds of weak acids
in the organic heat transfer fluid, resulting in multiple jump points in the titration process, take
the KOH standard solution consumed at the jump point corresponding to the potential value
closest to the pH 11  0.02 standard buffer solution to calculate the acid value for the endpoint
judgment; if no jump point can be found during the titration process, then, use the volume of
the KOH standard solution consumed when titrated to the p...
