Summary of Practices3.1 A liquid material is applied to a test panel by means ofan automatic spray machine consisting of a mounted spray gunand a panel holder. This machine can (1) mov

9、e the panelholder, with test panel, at a uniform speed through theatomized spray produced by a fixed spray gun, or (2)itcanmove the gun, with atomized spray, at a uniform speed past thetest panel mounted on a fixed panel holder. A machineequipped with a programmable system can index the spray gunver

10、tically for multiple passes and for multiple coats withselective time delay.3.2 The thickness of coating applied is controlled by thetraverse speed of the panel or gun, the fluid delivery rate of thegun, the viscosity of the material, and the amount of nonvola-tile matter in the material.4. Signific

11、ance and Use4.1 These practices should be used for those coatings thatare designed for spray applications of objects in the factory orin the field. It is particularly important that it be used in theevaluation of metallic coatings for appearance properties, suchas gloss and color.4.2 Coatings applie

12、d by this test method may exhibit a slightorange-peel or spray wave.5.

The panel holder or the gun mounttraverse speed shall be adjusta

17、ble from 7.5 to 30 m (25 to 100ft)/min. Typical machines are shown in Fig. 1.NOTE 1Some automatic spray machines provide additional featuresthat can improve the uniformity of film preparation. Some examples are:a z-bar panel holder; indexing of the panel holder at right angles to the gunto provide u

18、niform lapping; and automatic control of number of passes,time between passes, and lapping distance.5.3 Spray Gun, any that will provide a uniform fan-typespray pattern at least 150 mm (6 in.) in width is satisfactory.The gun may be triggered manually or automatically.5.4 Pressure Gage, covering the

19、 range of 0 to 690 kPa (0 to100 psi).5.5 Air Pressure Regulator.5.6 Air Supply, oil-free, under pressure.6. Preparation of Apparatus6.1 Mount the spray gun on the automatic spray machine.Connect the air line hose from the regulator to the air pressuregage which in turn is connected to the air inlet

20、of the spray gun.6.2 Set the gun so that its tip is at the desired distance fromthe test panel surface, usually in the range from 200 to 300 mm(8 to 12 in.).6.3 With the gun trigger fully open, adjust the air regulatorto provide the desired reading on the air pressure gage.NOTE 2A suitable air press

21、ure is usually from 275 to 520 kPa (40 to75 psi).6.4 Set the automatic spray machine controls to provide thedesired traverse speed of the panel holder or the gun mount,whichever is pertinent to the type of machine being used.NOTE 3Suitable traverse speeds for automative coatings usually rangefrom 17

22、.5 to 22.5 m/min (700 to 900 in./min ).7. Procedure7.1 Strain the material to be sprayed into the container to beused with the spray gun. Reduce the material to a viscositysuitable for spraying.7.2 Connect the container to the gun and test the spray gunoperation while stationary, for correct spray p

23、attern and uni-formity by allowing a momentary spray to be deposited on apiece of paper placed in the panel position. Adjust the airpressure material flow, and spray fan width controls until thedesired pattern and uniformity are obtained. Further refine-ments may be made in the spray pattern by modi

24、fying the airpressure, the type of thinning agent, and the consistency of thematerial.NOTE 4The width of the spray pattern should be considerably widerthan the width of the test panel to assure spray uniformity on the testpanel.7.3 Place a test panel on the panel holder and start themachine. Operate

25、 the spray gun so that it will begin spraying afew seconds before the test panel enters the spray pattern andcontinue spraying a few seconds after the test panel leaves thespray pattern.7.4 Remove the coated panel and bake, force-dry, or air-dryit, in accordance with its type, in a vertical position

26、 in adust-free atmosphere, as described in Specification D3924.7.5 Determine the thickness of the coating in accordancewith Test Methods D1005, D1186, D1212,orD1400, which-ever is appropriate.8.

28、ICATION9. Summary of Practice9.1 A motor-driven device is employed to withdraw the testpanel from a container of the coating material at a desireduniform rate.9.2 The thickness of coating applied is controlled by thespeed of panel withdrawal, the viscosity of the material, andthe percent of solids i

29、n the material.10. Significance and Use10.1 This test method is limited to those materials that flowout to smooth films when test panels are dipped into thematerial and withdrawn.11. Apparatus11.1 Dip Coater, consisting of a mechanism that will with-draw a panel from a container of the coating mater

30、ial at apredetermined rate. Suitable apparatus, is shown in Fig. 2(a)and 2(b):11.1.1 The apparatus shown in Fig. 2(a) uses a cord woundaround a step-cone pulley on the shaft of a motor to providepanel withdrawal rate of 50, 75, and 100-mm (2, 3, and 4-in.)/min. Prior to withdrawal, the panel, attach

31、ed to the cord, islowered by hand into the container holding the material.11.1.2 The apparatus shown in Fig. 2(b) uses a cord drivenby a variable-speed device that can provide panel immersionand withdrawal rates that are continuously variable from 65 to510 mm (2.5 to 20 in.)/min.NOTE 5Rectangular co

32、ntainers (F-style can with lid cut off) are usefulbecause the smaller exposed surfaces of the liquid coating reduces volatileloss.D823 95 (2012)12(a) Fixed Gun, Traveling Panel Machine (b) Fixed Panel, Traveling Gun Machine(c) Fixed Panel Programmable Indexing Traveling Gun MachineFIG. 1 Automatic S

34、ls should not exceed 300 mm (12 in.) in length,but the width may be varied up to 300 mm (12 in.) if a suitablecounterweight is used and a dip tank of adequate size is provided. Use ofa multiple hook will permit dipping several panels at one time.12. Procedure12.1 Adjust the coating material to the p

35、roper percentage ofsolids and viscosity. Measure the temperature of the material inthe container at the time of application.NOTE 7The operating conditions (viscosity, percent of nonvolatilematter, and rate of withdrawal) are specific for a given coating materialand film thickness and need to be dete

36、rmined by trial. Subsequentreproduction of the same operating conditions should give the same filmthickness. Data are available4on a variety of materials and film thicknessto indicate the range required. The viscosity range for normal filmthickness of 13 to 50 mm (0.5 to 2.0 mil ) has been shown to

37、be 1 to 2.5P.12.2 Place the prepared test panel on the hook attached tothe cord and lower it into the container holding the coatingmaterial. Wind the cord once completely around the pulley ofthe correct size to give the desired rate of withdrawal.12.2.1 For the stepped-cone pulley apparatus, wind th

38、e cordonce completely around the pulley of the correct size to givethe desired weight of withdrawal.12.2.2 For the continuously variable speed apparatus set thedesired panel immersion and withdrawal rates on the controlpanel.12.3 Start the motor and withdraw the panel at the desiredrate, with a smoo

39、th movement entirely free of vibration. Bake,force-dry, or air-dry the coated panel, in accordance with itstype, in a vertical position in a dust-free atmosphere inaccordance with Specification D3924.12.4 Determine the thickness of the coating in accordancewith Test Methods D1005, D1186,orD1400, whi

If the coati

42、ngthickness is too high, coat another panel using a faster rate ofpanel withdraw.12.6 Continue in this manner until a test panel having thedesired film thickness is produced. Measure thickness on atleast three different areas of the test panel to determine coatinguniformity.NOTE 8With the dip coater

43、, non-uniform thickness on a panel isfrequently obtained. Hence, if the film thickness is greater at the bottomthan the top, the viscosity should be increased or the panel withdrawalspeed should be reduced, or both.13.

Summary of Practice14.1 A

45、 uniform film is produced by an applicator blade thatis pushed across the test panel at a uniform speed by amotor-driven device.14.2 The thickness of coating applied is controlled by theclearance of the applicator blade and the viscosity and percent-age of solids of the material.15. Significance and

46、 Use15.1 This test method is applicable to substrates consistingof smooth rigid materials, such as metal or glass, and ofnon-rigid materials, such as paper charts. It is more reliable forproducing uniform films than is the use of hand-held draw-down applicators.16. Apparatus16.1 Motor-Driven Blade F

47、ilm Applicator,5consisting of abase plate, a bar for holding an applicator blade, and a drivingmechanism. The base plate shall hold paper charts flat bymeans of a vacuum. The blade holder shall be designed toaccommodate common types of applicator blades and to acceptweights for loading the applicato

48、r blade. A mechanism shall beprovided to stop the blade movement automatically at the endof the draw-down.
