BS 753:1987

This standard BS 753:1987 Schedule for density-composition tables for aqueous solutions of sulphuric acid is classified in these ICS categories:

• 71.060.30 Acids

This British Standard gives a table that enables the composition of an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid to be determined from its density at temperatures between 10 °C and 40 °C.

Appendix A gives information on the corrections which are necessary when density is determined by a hydrometer complying with BS 718¹⁾.

Appendix B gives information on the choice of BS hydrometers that are suitable for the determination of density of sulphuric acid solutions.

Appendix C gives examples of the use of a BS hydrometer in conjunction with Table 1.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Based on International Critical Tables. Density in kg/m³ aqueous solution, mass in g of H₂SO₄ in 100 g of aqueous solution, mass in g of H₂SO₄ in 1 litre of aqueous solution. Notes on standard hydrometers including corrections to be applied and worked examples.
