1.1 This test method covers the determination of the solubility of fixed gases in liquids. It is suitable for gases and liquids that do not react with each other and are compatible with borosilicate glass, mercury, stainless steel, PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), and FPM (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene copolymer) under the conditions of the test. This test method also covers the determination of the concentration of fixed gases in solutions which are not saturated with the gas.
