ASTM E1584 Standard Test Method for Assay of Nitric Acid
This test method was developed to quantify nitric acid concentration in aqueous solutions. The assay was performed with an acid-base titration, whereby a known concentration of sodium hydroxide in solution was used to titrate an unknown concentration of nitric acid, defining the actual strength of the weak acid. The endpoint can be determined using an indicator or through potentiometric means. The accurate assay of nitric acid is vital for many industrial applications requiring control of exact concentrations for processes, product quality, and safety.
