Testing methods of fiber grade polyester (PET) chip WARNING — Phenol, tetrachloroethane, dichlorobenzene, o-cresol, methanol and other similar solvents used in the tests are toxic, so measures shall be taken to prevent them from contacting the skin or being inhaled; sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and other similar reagents are highly corrosive, so measures shall be taken to prevent them from contacting the skin. The operator shall take proper safety and protection measures. During operation of gas chromatography, the detector does not ignite; it is strictly forbidden to start hydrogen needle valve in case of explosion due to leakage of hydrogen. 1 Scope This standard specifies the testing methods for the analysis items of fiber grade polyester chip (PET). This standard is applicable to the PET chips made of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; other functional polyester may make reference to this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
