ASTM D3898

The procedure described is for the quality control for manufacturing liquors and specifications for the purchase of such liquors.

The chromium content of the liquors determines the amount to be used to obtain the desired degree of tannage, and hence may be a matter for specification in the purchase of leather.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of chromic oxide in chrome tanning liquors, either simple, with added aluminum or zirconium, or with the usual masking complexing agents.
