3. Significance
3.1 The method of preparing Type I reagent water adds
organic contaminants to the water by contact with the
ion-exchange materials. It should be noted also that the
method mayor may not remove non-ionized dissolved gases.
3.1.1 The dissolved or particulate organic contamination
would normally range from 1 to 10 Jlg/litre. The concentration of nonionized dissolved gases may exceed 10 mg/litre.
3.2 The quality of the effluent water depends upon the
type, age, and method of regeneration of the ion exchange
materials. Likewise, the flow rate through the ion exchange
resin bed will change the conductivity of the effluent water.
The instructions of the manufacturer of the resins or the
resin cartridge bed should be followed.
3.3 The use of the membrane filter in the preparation of
Type I and Type III water may add a small amount of
organic components to the water first produced.
3.3.1 Some membrane filters contain as much as 8
mass % of soluble components resulting from the manufacturing process.
3.3.2 If the contamination of the water by the organic
component is of significance to the test, Type II water should
be used or the membrane should be rinsed by discarding the
first 10 ml of water produced per square centimetre of filter
area, or until a test for the organic components is negative.
3.4 Type II grade of reagent water should be sterile and
pyrogen free as produced and generally may be used whenever freedom from organic or biological contaminants is
desirable. However, the method of storage and handling of
the water may itself result in contamination.
3.4.1 To obtain sterile water, any of the preceding listed
types of reagent water may be produced, bottled, and heated
to 394 K (121C) for 20 min. This procedure is most easily
carried out by autoclaving at 103 kPa (15 psi) for 20 min.
3.4.2 Type II water should be pyrogen-free, but must be
tested in conformance with the requirements of the current
edition of U.S.P. if proof is needed.
3.5 Types I, II, and III reagent water should be protected
from atmospheric contamination and from solution of
container and tubing materials.
3.5.1 Extreme care must be exercised in handling samples
when making an analysis. Sample containers and tubing
should be made of TFE-fluorocarbon, titanium, tantalum,
block .tin, quartz, 18-8 stainless steel, polyethylene, or other
matenal proven to be sufficiently resistant to chemical attack
so as not to cause contamination in the intended use.
3.6 Because atmospheric gases and impurities rapidly
recontaminate exposed water, in-line electrodes should be
employed for determining the electrical conductivity of
reagent water Types I, II, and III. The measurement of pH in
Type I and II reagent waters is meaningless and has been

eliminated from the procedure, since electrodes used in the

test contaminate the water.

Important III the test procedure using any of the reagent
waters specified, a classification of bacterial levels is included
and should be specified if of significance to the test being
performed.
4. Definitions
4.1 The terms "particulate matter," "dissolved matter"
"total matter," and others related to water constituents
determined in these methods, are defined in accordance with
Definitions D 1129 as follows:
4.1.1 particulate matter-that nonliquid matter, exclusive
of gases, which is heterogeneously dispersed in water.
4.1.2 dissolved matter-that matter, exclusive of gases
which is dispersed in water to give a single homogeneou~
phase.
4.1.3 total matter-the sum of the particulate and dissolved matter.
4.2 For definitions of other terms used in this specification refer to Definitions D 1129. For an explanation of the
metric system including units, symbols, and conversion
factors see Standard E 380.
5. Reagents
5.1 Purity of Reagents-Reagent grade chemicals shall be

used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended
that all reagents shall conform to the specifications of the
Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, where such specifications are available. 4 Other_
grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the
reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without
lessening the accuracy of the determination.
5.2 Purity of Water-Unless indicated otherwise, references to water shall be understood to mean Type I or Type II
reagent water as defined in this specification.
5.3 Potassium Permanganate Solution (0.316 g/litre)Dissolve 0.316 g of potassium permanganate (KMn04) in
water and dilute to l/litre in a volumetric flask.
5.4 Sulfuric Acid (sp gr 1.84)-Concentrated acid
(H2 S04 ),
6. Requirements
6.1 Reagent water shall conform to the requirements
specified in Section 1.
6.2 Additional requirements concerning specific contaminants or methods of preparation may be included in this
specification by mutual agreement between the parties concerned.
7. Test Methods
7.1 Total Matter-Method B of Test Methods D 1888.

7.2 Electrical Conductivity-Test Methods D 1125.
