| S. No. | Test parameter | Specification | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Description | Clear, colourless, mobile liquid with a characteristic alcoholic odour | Visual |
| 2 | Identification | Conforms to the substance supplied | Instrumental or chemical test, per method agreed |
| 3 | Assay / grade | 99.9% IPA | Titrimetry or instrumental, per method agreed |
| 4 | Physical state | Liquid | Visual |
| 5 | Solubility in water | Miscible with water in all proportions | Per the test method agreed |
| 6 | pH | Not available. Isopropyl alcohol is a non-electrolyte and authoritative sources report no pH; supplier SDS state 'no data available'. Some Indian trade datasheets quote about 6.5-7.5 on a 10% aqueous solution, but that could not be confirmed from an authoritative source - print 'not applicable' rather than a number. | Potentiometry |
| 7 | Relative density | 0.785 g/mL at 20 degC (supplier SDS for 99.9% grade); relative density 0.79 (ILO ICSC 0554) | Densitometry / hydrometry |
| 8 | Melting / freezing point | -90 degC (ILO ICSC 0554); -89.5 degC (supplier SDS for 99.9% grade) | Capillary / thermal |
| 9 | Boiling point | 83 degC (ILO ICSC 0554); 82 degC (supplier SDS for 99.9% grade) | Distillation range |
| 10 | Flash point | 12 degC closed cup (11.7 degC per ILO ICSC 0554) - highly flammable at Indian ambient temperature. Autoignition 425 degC (supplier SDS) to 456 degC (ICSC); explosive limits about 2-12.7 vol% in air; vapour is heavier than air (relative vapour density 2.1) and travels along the floor to an ignition source. | Closed cup |
| 11 | Additional parameters | To the specification agreed before order | As agreed |
