ASTM C538-1983(2009) Standard Test Method for Color Retention of Red Orange and Yellow Porcelain Enamels《红色、橙色和黄色陶瓷色牢度的标准试验方法》.pdf

1、Designation: C 538 83 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forColor Retention of Red, Orange, and Yellow PorcelainEnamels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 538; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, t

2、he year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method2covers only porcelain enamels con-taining the cadmium-sulfide or cadmium sulfo-selenide ty

3、pesof pigments. 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 to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated wit

4、h its use. 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 solution is placed on the surface ofappropriate samples and allowe

5、d 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 outdoorexposure tests of porcelain enamels colored with cadmiumsulfo-sele

6、nide 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-tance, quality control, and research and development purposes.4

7、. Interferences4.1 In some cases, the treatment may change the gloss of thetested area. Any such gloss change shall be disregarded.5. Apparatus for Control of Illumination5.1 The light source shall consist of a 110-V, 15-W coolwhite fluorescent lamp (designation F 15 T8CW), 25.4 mm (1in.) in diamete

8、r by 457.2 mm (18 in.) long. 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 inside dimensions of 508 by 152 by 305 mm(20 by 6 by 12 in

9、.) (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 centerline 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the inside top, and 11 simil

10、arholes drilled on a centerline 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the bottomon each of the two long sides.6. Reagents6.1 The cupric sulfate solution is prepared by placing 50 gof cupric sulfate (CuSO45H2O), reagent grade, in 100 mL ofhot distilled water in a glass container, and permitting themixture to age at r

11、oom 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 50.8 mm (2 by 2in.) may be used. Specimens should be reasona

12、bly 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 drops of the solution on the horizontal testarea to form a poo

13、l, and immediately cover with a clean 25-mm(1-in.) diameter watch glass (with fire-polished edges) in theinverted position. The quantity of solution used shall besufficient to fill the inverted watch glass except for a smallbubble of entrapped air. Remove any excess solution from thetest area not un

14、der the watch glass. In some cases, it may benecessary to seal the area of contact between the watch glassand the specimen surface (with some material such as model-ing clay or rubber cement) to prevent escape of the solution.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B08 on Metal

15、licand Inorganic Coatings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B08.12 onMaterials for Porcelain Enamel and Ceramic-Metal Systems.Current edition approved April 15, 2009. Published June 2009. Originallyapproved in 1964. Last previous edition approved in 2004 as C 538 83 (2004)1.2This test

16、 method is based on the Cupric Sulfate Test for Color Retention,Bulletin T-22 on the Porcelain Enamel Inst., Arlington, VA.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.8.3 Place the specimen with watch glass in position underthe l

17、ight-chamber. It should remain in this position for 20 h ina room at 27 6 5C (80 6 10F). If the solution has escaped ordried out at the end of the test period, the test is invalid andshall be repeated on a different location on the specimensurface.8.4 After exposure, remove the watch glass, rinse th

18、e treatedarea with water to remove all of the test solution, and dry witha clean cloth.8.5 Visually examine the specimen immediately to deter-mine whether there has been any darkening of the treated area.Use partially diffused daylight supplemented, if necessary, byartificial light, the total intens

19、ity being approximately thatavailable within a few feet of an outside window, but do notexamine in direct sunlight. During observation, hold thespecimen no nearer the light source (such as a window) thanthe minimum width of the source.8.6 If any darkening can be detected visually, the specimenfails

20、the test. Changes in gloss caused by the treatment shall notbe considered in the grading.9. Report9.1 Report the type, color, and number of specimens tested,and whether each passed or failed the test.10. Precision and Bias10.1 A precision and bias statement is not applicable to thistest method. Sinc

21、e it is a pass/fail test.11.
