1、Designation: E 1518 05Standard Practice forEvaluation of Physical Compatibility of Pesticides inAqueous Tank Mixtures by the Dynamic Shaker Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1518; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, i

2、n the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes the method for the evaluation ofthe physical compatibilit

3、y and stability of pesticide tankmixtures diluted for aqueous application. This practice mayalso be adapted to use with liquid fertilizers in replacement ofthe water diluent.1.2 Tank mix compatibility can be affected by many vari-ables. Care should be taken to duplicate test conditions. Thispractice

4、 addresses the standard variables such as time, tem-perature, water hardness, method of agitation, and degree ofagitation.1.3 Compatibility is complex and can be affected by othervariables such as order of addition, pH of the dilution water,pumping shear, etc. Under the parameters of this practice,

5、theresults will define whether the pesticide mixture is or is notcompatible in the laboratory. Compatibility or incompatibilityshould be confirmed under field spray conditions.1.4 Proper safety and hygiene precautions must be takenwhen working with pesticide formulations to prevent skin oreye contac

6、t, vapor inhalation, and environmental contamina-tion.1.5 Read and follow all handling instructions for the specificformulation and conduct the test in accordance with goodlaboratory practice.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety problems, if any, associated with its use. It

7、 is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D 1193 Specification for Reagent Water3. Summary of Practice3.1 In this practice

8、, pesticides are diluted in water and tankmixed at specific application rates. Evaluations are conductedunder dynamic conditions. Pesticides are mixed and kept underagitation by a mechanical shaker. Evaluations are conducted atchosen water hardnesses and temperatures. Compatibility ismeasured in ter

9、ms of the dispersion stability and screenresidue.3.2 Pesticides being examined for mixing compatibilityshould be evaluated individually as controls.3.3 Order of AdditionPesticides should be tank mixed asrecommended on the product label. If the order of the additionis not specified, then all possible

10、 orders of addition should betested. The following is a general guide: (1) waster solubleconcentrates, (2) water dispersible granules (dry flowables), (3)wettable powders, (4) liquid flowables, and (5) emulsifiableconcentrates.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is designed for researchers, app

11、licators,and end users of pesticides where one or more ingredients arebeing mixed into an aqueous spray system. The practice isuseful in determining physical compatibility of aqueous spraymixtures of pesticides and/or fertilizers.4.2 The practice is not designed to determine physicalcompatibility of

12、 non-aqueous based spray mixtures.4.3 THe results or the testing should be used to determinethe compatibility of the mixture ingredients in dynamic appli-cations. Interpolation of static results to the expectations of theresults of this test is not encouraged.5. Apparatus5.1 Graduated Cylinder, 100

13、mL, glass-stoppered.5.2 Pipets, graduated, wide tip, serological, various deliveryvolumes.5.3 Balance, accurate to 0.1 g.5.4 Sieve, US Standard, 50 mesh (300 microns), 3-in.diameter.35.5 Wide-Mouth Jars, 4 oz with polyethylene seal cups.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E35

Report8.1 The results of this practice should be reported as eithercompatible or incompatible.8.1.1 CompatibleThe formulation of a well-dispersedmixture of pesticides in water. No nonrinsable residue found onthe

Precision and Bias9.1 Eight laboratories participated in a collective study todetermine the precision and bias of this test method. This studywas conducted by sending an emulsifiab

After evaluation of the difference aninterpretation error was revealed. All other laboratories agreedwith the resul
