FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Methods of Measurement and Test for Petroleum, Petroleum Products and Lubricants Sectional Committee
had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.
First revision of this standard was published in 1971 covering the determination of acidic or basic constituents
in petroleum products and lubricants. This standard was based on joint publication of ASTM-1P Standard
No. ASTM D 664/1958-IP 177/1964. Since ASTM D 664 has subsequently been revised in 1989 covering only
determination of acid number and a separate standard has been published for determination of base number.
namely, ASTM D 4739 : 1992. Base number portion was deleted from ASTM D 664-1989 due to poor precision
caused mainly by the following:
Keeping above in view, Committee has decided to revise this standard into two Sections, namely, Section 1 to
cover determ inat ion of acid number of petroleum products and Section 2 cover determination of base number of
petroleum products.
In this version (second revision) of Section 1, following changes have been made:
a) Title has been modified as Determination of acid number of petroleum products by potentiometric
titration.
b) Test method prescribes for determination of base number has been deleted and will be published as
Section 2 under Part 1 of 1S 1448.
c) Aligned it with ASTM D 664. While the earlier joint ASTM-1P Standard had covered the test procedures
to determine both acid number and base number.
The composition of the Committee responsible for formulation of this standard is given in Annex B.
In reporting the result of the test made in accordance with this standard, if the final value, observed or calculated,
is to be rounded off, it shall be done in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values
