1、Designation: D869 85 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Test Method forEvaluating Degree of Settling of Paint1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D869; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisio

2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the

3、degreeof pigment suspension and ease of remixing a shelf-agedsample of paint to a homogeneous condition suitable for theintended use.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to addr

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.

Paint that settles excessively is difficult toreincorporate into the paint system causing time delays orvaluable pigment being left in the drum

6、. This test method is anattempt to evaluate the degree of settling caused by theaccelerated Test Method D1309. This very subjective methodof evaluation in conjunction with the variables of Test MethodD1309 raises questions as to the usefulness of the results forspecification compliance.4. Apparatus4

7、.1 Container, standard 500-mL (1-pt) friction-top can paintcontainer, 85.5 6 1.5 mm (338 6116 in.) in diameter, and 98.56 1.5 mm (378 6116 in.) in height.4.2 Spatula, weighing 45 6 1 g with square-end blade 125mm (434 in.) in length and approximately 20 mm (1316 in.) inwidth, shall be used to examin

8、e the paint for pigment settlingand reincorporation characteristics.5. Procedure5.1 Place the specimen to be tested for pigment suspensionin a 500-mL (1-pt) container, filling the can to within 13 mm(12 in.) of the top. Close the can tightly and hold undisturbedfor shelf aging for 6 months or for su

9、ch other periods of timeagreed upon between the purchaser and the seller.5.2 Open the can holding the shelf-aged sample withoutshaking or agitation, and examine the sample without removalof supernatant vehicle. Use the spatula to determine the extentand character of portions of the paint that may ha

10、ve separatedduring storage. Prepare a suitable spatula for this purpose bycutting the tip from an ordinary 127-mm (5-in.) flexible steellaboratory spatula to the specified length. Hold the spatulaperpendicular to and in the center area of the paint at a heightwhereby the bottom edge of the spatula i

11、s level with the top ofthe can. Drop the spatula from that position. Rate the conditionof the sample in accordance with 5.4.5.3 After examination of the entire specimen as described in5.2, if a portion of the pigment has separated out to form a firmcake at the bottom of the container pour the supern

12、atant portionof the liquid off into a clean container and hold for subsequentuse. Reincorporate the separate cake by hand stirring with thespatula, adding back the liquid in small amounts until thepigment has been reincorporated to form a homogeneous paintsuitable for the intended use or until it is

13、 determined that thepigment cake cannot be reincorporated by hand stirring. Ratethe condition of the specimen in accordance with 5.4.5.4 Rate the sample for degree of settling on a scale from 10to 0 in accordance with the following. Give intermediateconditions the appropriate odd number.1This test m
