Methods for acids up to 100 per cent H2SO4 for sampling oleums and for diluting and testing oleums and liquid sulphur trioxide.

This British Standard specifies methods of test for commercial sulphuric acid, oleum and liquid sulpur trioxide. Section 2 covers tests for acids containing up to 100 % of H2SO4. Section 3 describes methods of test for oleums and liquid sulphur trioxide and includes a method for their dilution prior to analysis by the methods specified in section 2, clauses 5 to 9.
