This Part of BS 6392 describes a photometric method for estimation of the content of carbonyl compounds present in small amounts in ethanol for industrial use.

The method is applicable to products having carbonyl compounds contents, expressed as acetaldehyde, between 0,000 25 and 0,01 % (m/m).

NOTE 1 This method, which is used commercially, allows determination of only those carbonyl compounds which react under the specified conditions.

NOTE 2 The title of the publication referred to in this standard is given on inside back cover.
