ASTM D 13 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Spirits of Turpentine
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 10, 2002
Scope:
This specification covers the following kinds of spirits of turpentine
as defined by the Code of
Federal Regulations and Terminology D 804: gum spirits of turpentine,
steam-distilled wood
turpentine, sulfate wood turpentine, and destructively-distilled wood
turpentine.
The purchaser should specify the kind of spirits of turpentine
desired.
This specification is no longer widely used as it only specifies
physical characteristics and not
chemical composition. This specification was developed when the chief
use for turpentine was as a
solvent. Currently, especially in the United States, only a very
limited quantity of turpentine is
used as a solvent. Its main end use is as a raw material for the
preparation of polyterpene type
resins and synthetic organic chemicals. In spite of its limited
application as a solvent, and hence
the limited use of this specification, it is considered to be
important to retain this
specification. When information is required on chemical composition,
gas chromatography is the
recommended procedure (see Test Methods D 6387).
