The purpose of the test is to detect those red,yellow, orange, and some green porcelain enamels that arelikely to experience appreciable color changes upon exposureto atmospheric corrosion.1.2 This standard does not purport t

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Summary of Test Method2.1 Cupric sulfate solutio

5、n is placed on the surface ofappropriate samples and allowed to remain for 20 h undercontrolled illumination. The samples are then washed, dried,and examined visually for a darkening of the color in the testedarea.3. Significance and Use3.1 Correlation between results of this test and outdoorexposur

6、e tests of porcelain enamels colored with cadmiumsulfo-selenide pigment shows that the cupric sulfate test is aneffective indicator of the tendency for such coatings to expe-rience appreciable color changes during weathering. The cu-pric sulfate test is considered useful for specification accep-tanc

Center the lampnear the top of a box, made from plywood or other suitablematerial, in such a position that the distance between thespecimen surface and the centerline of the lamp is 228.6 mm (9in.). The box, with

(length, width, height), shall be painted witha matte (flat), neutral white paint on the inside, and shall bevented for air circulation. Venting is accomplished by 11 holes,12.7 mm (12 in.) in diameter, drilled 25.4 mm (1 in.) apart ona c

Reagents6.1 The cupric sulfate solution is prepared by placing 50 gof cupric sulfate (CuSO45H2O), reagent grade, in 100 mL ofhot distilled water

11、in a glass container, and permitting themixture to age at room temperature (27 6 5C) (80 6 10F)for 16 h or longer with occasional stirring. This treatmentproduces a solution with some undissolved material remainingat the bottom of the container.7. Specimens7.1 Any size specimen larger than 50.8 by 5

12、0.8 mm (2 by 2in.) may be used. Specimens should be reasonably flat.8. Procedure8.1 Clean the specimen by washing with soap and water,followed by copious rinsing with clean, but not necessarilydistilled, water. Dry the surface with a clean dry towel byblotting or gentle rubbing.8.2 Place several dro
