1、Designation: C614 10 (Reapproved 2011)1Standard Test Method forAlkali Resistance of Porcelain Enamels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C614; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi

Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTETest Method was corrected editorially in 2011INTRODUCTIONAlthough all porcelain enamels are highly resistant to atttack by cold alkaline
3、 solutions, somecompositions are affected by hot solutions of the type encountered in automatic laundry anddishwashing equipment. Tests to eliminate porcelain enamels of poor resistance have been developedand used by various laboratories. In general, these tests consist of subjecting specimens to a
4、boilingsolution of either sodium pyrophosphate or sodium hydroxide for a period of two or more hours. Thespecimens are weighed before and after exposure to the test treatment and the loss-in-weight is takenas a measure of alkali attack. In some tests representing milder exposure conditions, the 45 d
5、egreespecular gloss is measured before and after exposure and the percentage of initial gloss retained is usedas an indicator of alkali resistance. While such tests have served a useful purpose in developing moreresistant porcelain enamel compositions and in manufacturing control operations, agreeme
6、nt betweenlaboratories has left something to be desired. The present test was designed to provide thereproducibility between laboratories that is so essential to any standard test procedure.1. Scope1.1 This test method2covers the measurement of the resis-tance of a porcelain enamel to a hot solution
7、 of tetrasodiumpyrophosphate. Although the specific alkali mentioned hereinis tetrasodium pyrophosphate the equipment and techniques areequally applicable to other alkali solutions.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematic
8、alconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health p

Significance and Use2.1 This test method is intended specifically for testing theresistance to alkaline attack of porcelain enamels to be used asa final finish on washing machines, dishwashers, combinationwasher-drye
