These test methods cover various procedures that are applicable to detergent alkylate, which comprises alkylbenzenes, in order to evaluate properties pertinent to the characterization of the alkylbenzene with respect to its suitability for desired uses. Reagent grade chemicals or any other reagent of sufficiently high purity shall be used in all tests which shall be handled with care. These test methods include the doctor test, sediment sampling and estimation using Nessler tubes, and the methods for determining the following physical properties: flash point; water or moisture content; specific gravity which include procedures using the specific gravity balance, hydrometer, pycnometer, and vacuum pycnometer; color; viscosity; aniline point; kauri-butanol value; refractive index; bromine number; and acid wash color.
