3、agent, a reproducible machine-wiping technique, and a means ofmeasuring the amount of residual soil by fluorescence.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the numerical evaluation of theease or difficulty of cleaning soiled surface finishes. This testmethod is applicable to all surface finishes not aff

Inch-pound units are provided for information only.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
5、 appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、 Summary of Test Method3.1 The test method consists of applying an exact amount ofa fluorescent water-soluble soiling agent to a specimen surfaceand then cleaning the surface with a reproducible machine-wiping technique. The soil remaining on the specimen afterwiping is extracted with a water solven
7、t and the fluorescence ofthe solution measured. A standard reference surface is treatedin a similar manner. The cleanability index of the surface undertest is expressed as the ratio of the fluorescence of the solutionsextracted from the test surface and from the standard referencesurface. Cleanabili
8、ty indexes greater than 1.0 indicate that thetest surface is more difficult to clean than the standardreference surface, while indexes less than 1.0 indicate that thetest surface is more easily cleanable than the standard ofcomparison.3.2 The soiling agent used consists of polyethylene glycol,a blac
9、k dye, and a fluorescent tracer, each of which is readilywater soluble.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method was developed to guide the user inselecting a finish coating or material that is resistant to soilingin a particular application.4.2 The numerical values derived by this test methodenab

28、.1 Lay out six specimens face up on a table. Homogenizethe soiling agent by up-ending several times before use. Fill thehypodermic syringe with no needle attached with the soilingagent by withdrawing the plunger. Expel this charge of soilback into the soil bottle. Then fill the syringe again. Wipe t
29、hetip of the syringe with a cleaning tissue and expel several dropsinto the soil bottle. Then, without rewiping the tip, hold thesyringe vertically over a specimen and discharge one drop nearthe center of each of the six specimens. Center the firstspecimen on the lapping wheel and hold it in place b
30、y meansof adhesive tape across the specimen corners. Place thepolytetrafluoroethylene-faced soiling head on the soil, andengage the spindle (Fig. 4) of the polishing unit. Operate thelapping wheel and the polishing unit for 1 min to distribute thesoil over the central portion of the specimen (Fig. 5
31、). Removethe soiling head and clean it with tissue for reuse. Adjust thespindle so that it rests over the center of the soil spot. Preparetwo cleaning heads 57 mm (214 in.) diameter) by covering withfour thicknesses of cleaning tissues clamped smoothly in place.With the repeating pipet expel exactly
32、 0.021 mL of distilledwater at the center of the tissue on the first cleaning head.9.3.2 Immediately place the cleaning head with tissue sideagainst the soiled specimen, engage the spindle, and operate for22 s (so that it will stop as well as start at the center of thespecimen). Remove the cleaning
33、head without sliding motion.Repeat the cleaning operation with the second tissue-coveredhead, using the same amount of distilled water and for the same22-s period.9.3.3 Store the first soiled and cleaned specimen in a nearvertical position in a rack while applying exactly the sameseries of soiling a
34、nd cleaning treatments to the five remainingspecimens.9.4 Water Extraction of the Soil RetainedRemove thesmall, often nonvisible, amounts of soil from the centralportion of the soiled and cleaned specimens with 10 mL ofdistilled water in the O-ring sealed extraction cell by thefollowing sequence of
35、operations within 30 min after soiling;place the first soiled and cleaned specimen, face up, in thecenter of the cell clamping frame.

40、omultiplier. This filter transmits only 12.5 % of the lightemitted by the solution, reducing the fluroescence readings and bringingthem on scale. Redetermine the blank reading with the filter in place andmultiply the reduced reading by 8.0 which is 1 divided by the 12.5 %transmission of the neutral

42、 successful use of the fluorimetric analytical tech-niques employed in this procedure demands that a scrupulouslevel of cleanliness be maintained throughout. An oily thumb-print on the glass cuvette containing the solution to bemeasured may be more fluorescent than the unknown.9.7.2 Wash the glass b
43、eakers and the extraction cells beforeand after use by brushing in a warm detergent solution; rinsecopiously with flowing tap water and then with distilled water.The glass beakers may be oven dried. The extraction cells,without O-ring removal, may be wiped dry with clean tissue.Clean the syringe use

Givethe glass cuvettes used for measuring fluorescent solutionsseveral rinses with tap water and then alcohol, and allow todrain in an inverte
45、d position in a holding rack. Discard thetissue for wiping glassware and other equipment after one use.10. Calculation of a Cleanability Index10.1 Subtract the measured fluorescence value for the dis-tilled water blank from the measured fluorescence value foreach of the six test surfaces and the six
46、 standard referencesurfaces. This will result in corrected fluorescence values forthe six test surfaces and for the six standard reference surfaces.10.2 Calculate the average of the corrected fluorescencevalues for the six test surfaces and for the six standardreference surfaces.10.3 Calculate the c
47、oefficient of variation of the correctedfluorescence values for the six test surfaces and for the sixstandard reference surfaces.10.4 Repeat the cleanability determinations on all six speci-mens (either the test specimens or the six standard referencespecimens) if the coefficient of variation is gre
48、ater than 20 %.10.5 The cleanability index is calculated as follows:CI 5 Ft/Fr (1)where:CI = the cleanability index of the surface being tested,Ft = the average corrected fluorescence of the test surfacesas calculated in 10.2, andFr = the average corrected fluorescence of the standardreference surfa
49、ces as calculated in 10.3.10.6 The method of calculation is shown in theAppendixes.11. Precision and Bias11.1 The precision of this test method, when performed bythe same operator in the same laboratory, should be sufficientso that the cleanability determination on six standard refer-ences should show a coefficient of variation no greater than20 %. No standard is available by which the bias of the testmethod can be determined.APPENDIXES(Nonmandatory Information)X1. INITIAL CALCULATIONSX1.1 The four calculations necessary on the data
