In the range 93 to 100% anhydride, neither the accuracy nor the precision of the method is dependent on the anhydride concentration. Also, in this range, the over-all standard deviation for the method is 0.16 with 16 degrees of freedom and there is no significant difference in results between 2or 8hour warm-up times.The instrument calibration was found not to change linearly over a 3-week period.The precisions of the standard aniline, triethylamine, and spectrophotometric methods are compared and the spectrophotometric method with a standard deviation of 0.16 is found to be more precise than the other two.LITERATURE CITED(1) Davies, O.
