1.1 These test methods describe standard procedures for gravimetrically determining the total nonvolatile and semi-volatile organic content of solvent extracts from soils or solid wastes. The following methods are included:
| Section | |
| Method A--Micro-Determination of TSEC | 11-13 | 
| Method B--Evaporating Dish Procedure | 14-16 | 
| Method C--Boiling Flask Procedure | 17-19 | 
1.2 These methods are used after a solvent extract is obtained from a soil or solid waste. For these methods to be applicable, the extraction solvent must have a boiling point less than that of water at ambient pressure.
1.3 The total solvent extractable content (TSEC) of a soil, sediment, sludge, or solid waste depends upon the solvent and method used for the extraction procedure.
