ASTM D365

Since the desired specifications and compositions of soluble nitrocellulose base solutions vary greatly, these methods are used to establish whether limits that shall be as agreed upon between the producer and the user have been met.

1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover the testing of soluble nitrocellulose base solutions that are made by dispersing various kinds and concentrations of soluble nitrocellulose (cellulose nitrate) in various solvent mixtures.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 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. For specific hazard statements see Section 11.
