1、Designation: E1910/E1910M 04 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forAgricultural pH Control Agents1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1910/E1910M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last

2、 revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover determining if an adjuvantmeets the definitions of an acidifier, a basic blend, alkalinityagent,

3、or buffer in Terminology E1519.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may

4、 result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulat

6、lutions for Chemical AnalysisE1519 Terminology Relating to Agricultural Tank MixAdjuvants3. Summary of Test Method3.1 Test Method A measures the change in pH of a sampleon the addition of an acidifier or a basic blend. Test Method Bmeasures the buffer capacity of the adjuvant by titration.4. Signifi

7、cance and Use4.1 This test method is intended for products sold as tankmix adjuvants for use with agricultural products.4.2 Part A provides a determination of whether the pHmodification characteristics of the adjuvant tested meet thedefinition of an acidifier, alkalinity agent, or a basic blend inTe

8、rminology E1519. Part B provides a measure of the buffercapacity of the adjuvant. This can be used to estimate theamount of a buffer that will be required to keep a spray solutionat the desired pH.4.3 Other pH standards can be used (see Test Method E70)as long as the pHs measured are not outside the

9、 range of thestandards used.4.4 If samples of the material to be used in a particularapplication are available, the first method can be used todetermine what adjuvant rate is required to obtain the desiredpH. The ability of an adjuvant to adjust the pH of a particularsystem will depend on the initia

10、l pH before addition.4.5 The second method can be used to determine the amountof an adjuvant required to change the pH of a quantity of spraysolution to the required value (see Note 1).NOTE 1Many acidifiers and basic blends also are buffers, so the pHchange does not provide a useful measure of buffe
