1.2 Carbon dioxide may also be detected from carbonates present in particulates in samples.
1.3 Test Method A is applicable to various natural waters and brines.
1.4 Test Method B is applicable to natural waters, brines, and various industrial waters as delineated in .
1.5 It is the user's responsibility to ensure the validity of these test methods on waters of untested matrices.
