1.1These test methods cover the test procedures to be applied to whole tall oils or refined tall oils. Previous editions of these test methods have described test procedures that are used to test tall oil fatty acid, rosin, and other tall oil-derived products as well as test crude and refined tall oil. Consequently, these test methods are widely cited in reference books and industry literature for the testing of tall oil-derived products.

1.1.1In this current revision, procedural details of some of the often-cited test methods have been removed and the test methods consolidated with other existing test methods. In such cases the consolidated methods, applicable to all tall oil-derived products.

1.2The procedures appear in the following order:

Physical Tests	Sections
Viscosity:
Brookfield Method (Preferred Method)	7
Bubble Time Method	8
Flash Point	9
Color	10
Moisture:	11
Insoluble Matter	12
Ash	13
Chemical Analysis
Acid Number	16
Saponification Number	17
