The analysis of organic composites and the assay of organic materials continue to be important at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL). Recent trends have been toward small samples analyzed by complex instruments and methods. In this paper a variety of titrimetric methods recently developed at LLL are presented. The following topics are discussed: An automated titration system controlled by a Tektronix 4051 graphics system; a new titrant for large inorganic and organic anions including several of ordnance interest (e.g., perchlorate, nitroform, picrate); a new nonaqueous titrimetric method for nitroguanidine that avoids interference from HMX and RDX; a nonaqueous titrimetric method for PETN; and a reductometric micromethod for PETN in the presence of silicone rubber.
