11、APM IT9.14-1992 (R1997)This standard is a description of a standard test method to evaluate theresistance of photographic gelatin emulsions to abrasion when wet. Resultsare generally referred to as either “wet abrasion resistance” or “mushiness.”This test procedure was first standardized in 1972 by
12、American NationalStandards Committee on Photographic Processing, PH4, and was pub-lished in American National Standard Method for determining the resis-tance of photographic films to abrasion during processing, ANSI PH4.35-1972. This test method has since been transferred to the jurisdiction ofNAPM
13、Technical Committee IT9.The current revision was modified to include photographic paper emulsionsas well as film emulsions, and the test apparatus was made less specific toa particular design.This standard contains one annex which is informative and is not consid-ered part of this standard.Suggestio
14、ns for the improvement of this standard will be welcome. Theyshould be sent to the National Association of Photographic Manufacturers,Inc., 550 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528.This standard was processed and approved for submittal to ANSI by NAPMTechnical Committee IT9 on the Physical Properti

HendriksOrganization Represented Name of Representative0 IntroductionThe gelatin emulsion of photographic materialsmay be damaged by
22、 abrasion during process-ing, if the emulsion is rubbed against any sta-tionary part of a processing machine. Abrasioncan also occur when film or paper is processedin a tray by hand and the gelatin layers are softenough to be gouged by foreign particles, cor-ners, or fingernails.When wet, emulsions
23、are usually more susceptible to abrasion than when dry. Wetemulsions and gelatin backings are also moresusceptible to abrasion than the support materials. The test method in this standard isapplicable only to such wet emulsions orgelatin layers. For dry scratch resistance seeAmerican National Standa
24、rd for ImagingMaterials Processed Photographic Film Methods for Determining Scratch Resistance,ANSI/NAPM IT9.22-1996.Photographic emulsions and gelatin layersshow physical changes with time. The resis-tance of these layers to wet abrasion dependson the inherent properties built-in at manufac-ture an
25、d the treatment received in the drystate prior to processing, as the temperatureat which a gelatin layer is stored and its mois-ture content during storage may affect itsresistance to wet abrasion.The susceptibility to abrasion during process-ing depends not only on the inherent charac-teristics of
26、the emulsion, but also on the typesof processing solutions, temperatures, andimmersion times. These are described inParker, J. T. and Sugden, L. J. Determiningthe resistance of photographic emulsions todamage during processing. PhotographicScience and Engineering, 7:41-47; Jan-Feb1963. In determinin
27、g emulsion resistance toabrasion, these factors must be carefully con-trolled.The results of wet abrasion, or mushinesstests, are most significant if consideration isgiven to the final usage of the particular mate-rial. For instance, some films are viewed whilewet, although usually films and photogr
28、aphicprints are dried prior to viewing or other fur-ther use. Some materials may show less abra-sion damage when examined after drying,than when examined wet. The most appropri-ate rating method must be chosen, and it mustbe clearly stated in the results.This test method provides an excellent meanso
29、f comparing emulsions of different ages,types, processing solutions, processingimmersion times and temperatures, and theeffects of post-processing treatments.However, many factors are involved in theequipment and technique in either continuous,tank, or tray processing which cannot be con-sidered in
30、a test procedure. Analysis of abra-sion resistance in a particular processing sys-tem can only be made in the processing sys-tem under consideration. This test method hasalso been used to measure the change in thephysical integrity of the gelatin-emulsion layerafter normal or accelerated aging. For
31、thispurpose, the wet abrasion (mushiness) ismeasured when the emulsion is immersed indistilled water.1American National Standardfor Imaging Materials Photographic Films and Papers Method for Determining theResistance of PhotographicEmulsions to Wet AbrasionAMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/NAPM IT9.14
32、-1992 (R1997)it can be lowered onto the specimen andthereby scribe a line on it when the specimentray travels along under the stylus.2)The sty-lus shall make perpendicular contact with thespecimen in the tray of solution. A 0.38-mm(0.015-in) radius stylus should be used foremulsions on photographic
33、film base, and a0.20 mm (0.008-in) radius stylus for emul-sions on photographic paper base; The stylus arm shall be counterbalancedso that when the stylus arm is lowered andthe stylus rests on the emulsion surface,there is no load on the stylus.3.1.2 Equipment designThe equipment may be constructed
34、in eitherof two formats: a) a constant load instrument; orb) a continuous load instrument.In the constant load instrument, the weightsare added directly to a pan and the apparatusshall be designed so that the center of gravityof the weights will be positioned directly overthe stylus. These weights s
35、hould range from 1to 210 grams. The arm may be pivoted on athreaded hinge with a knurled knob, or otherprovision for positioning the stylus laterally, sothat many parallel scribe lines can be madeon the same specimen. As an alternative, thespecimen holder can be provided with lateralpositioning and
36、a simple pivot used on the sty-lus arm.Alternatively, the continuous loading equip-ment (illustrated in figure 1) can be used.3)When the arm is lowered, the sliding weight isengaged by the carriage so that when the slid-ing carriage with the tray is moved away fromthe fulcrum of the arm, the weight
37、slides withit. This produces an increasing weight on the stylus point as the tray moves with the carriage. This weight increases from 0 to70 grams, as the carriage moves its full travelof 180 mm.

41、 water or aprocessing solution. The tray shall be free tomove smoothly in a horizontal plane for adistance of at least 30 mm without sidewaysdisplacement.

42、SI/NAPM IT9.14-1992 (R1997)21)It is very important that the stylus is smooth and has a uniform radius. Sapphire styli may be obtained froma lapidary company, such as the Moser Jewel Company, 542 Fayette Street, Perth Amboy, NJ 08862 or asupplier of phonographic equipment. Although diamond styli have
43、 low friction properties in the dry state, theyare satisfactory in this wet application. Diamond styli will wear better than sapphire in high usage circum-stances. Diamond styli that have been satisfactory are those compounded from diamond particles such asthose manufactured by Bruce Diamond Corp.,
44、Box 420, 1231 County St., Attleboro, MA 02703.2)The test apparatus for dry scratch resistance, described in ANSI/NAPM IT9.14, may be modified for this test.3)If detailed drawings are required for the construction of this apparatus, they may be purchased through theSecretariat.ANSI/NAPM IT9.14-1992 (
45、R1997)3If the continuous loading apparatus (shown infigure 1) is used, the position of the stylusshall be marked on the test specimen prior tothe movement of the tray. The distance thatthe tray moves is directly proportional to theload on the stylus caused by the slidingweight. If no evidence of abr
46、asion can be seen bytransmitted light, additional weights shall beadded above the stylus until abrasion occurs.The total weight on the stylus is the sum ofthis additional weight and that caused by thesliding weight. The maximum weight added tothe stylus shall be 150 grams. Three scratchlines shall b
47、e made for each specimen.To test a sample in a solution that is one of asequence of processing solutions, the filmshall be immersed in each of the precedingprocessing solutions for the normal timesbefore being placed in the solution in whichabrasion is to be evaluated. For example, anemulsion being
48、tested in wash water shouldreceive its usual developing, fixing, etc., priorto being placed in the wash water for abrasionby the stylus.6)3.4 RatingThe wet abrasion resistance, or mushinessvalue, is the weight in grams on the styluswhich causes it to dig into the emulsion layer.The rating may be mad
49、e by reflected, or trans-mitted light. Specimens may be rated eitherwet or after drying. It may be desirable to con-tinue the normal processing sequence to com-pletion after abrasion before rating. Thesechoices are dictated by the type of investiga-tion.On some surfaces, the stylus frequently skipsalong after the first penetration. Where nocontinuous abrasion line is found after the firstpenetration, a rating shall be made for the firstdetectable damage and another rating for theapparatus, additional weights of 50, 100, and150 grams can be screwed onto the thread
