ASTM D3723-2005 Standard Test Method for Pigment Content of Water-Emulsion Paints by Low-Temperature Ashing《低温灰化法测定水性乳化涂料中颜料含量的标准试验方法》.pdf

1、Designation: D 3723 05Standard Test Method forPigment Content of Water-Emulsion Paints by Low-Temperature Ashing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3723; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o

2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for the pigmentcontent determination of water-based paints. It is applicableonl

3、y to pigments that do not decompose or lose weight attemperatures below 500C. Such pigments include most metaloxides, silicates, and a majority of anhydrous inorganic salts.1.2 Many water-based paints contain pigments and organiccolorants that lose water of hydration or decompose at thistemperature.

4、 The residual ash should be carefully inspected forchanges in color or texture that could indicate a pigmentalteration and hence lead to erroneous results. Caution shouldtherefore be exercised when applying this test method tosamples containing unknown pigment compositions.1.3 The values stated in S

5、I units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 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 healt

Apparatus4.1 Oven, forced draft, maintained at 105 6 2C.4.2 Furnace, muffle, maintained at 450 6 25C.4.3 Syringe, 5-mL.4.4 Aluminum Foil Dish, 58 mm in diameter by 18 mm highwith a flat bottom. The bottom of the dish should be as nearlyflat as possible so that a uniform film is produced.5.

8、Reagents5.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other gr

9、ades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.5.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Type III of S

10、pecification D 1193.5.3 Ammonium Hydroxide4Add 1 volume of concen-trated NH4OH (sp gr 0.90) to 3 volumes of water.6. Procedure6.1 Mix samples until homogeneous, preferably on a me-chanical shaker. If air bubbles become entrapped in a sample,stir it by hand.6.2 Draw approximately 1.5 g of the test pa

11、int into a 5-mLsyringe and weigh to 1 mg. Add the paint dropwise (about 30drops) into a tared-aluminum foil dish that contains 2 mL ofwater (5.2). Swirl the dish during the addition and continue theswirling until the specimen is completely dispersed. Reweighthe syringe to 1 mg. Transfer between 0.4

12、and 0.6 g of sampleto the dish. If not, adjust the transferred volume and prepare anew specimen. If the specimen agglomerates or forms a lumpthat cannot be dispersed, a drop or two of ammonia (5.3) mayfacilitate the dispersement. If the lumping persists, discard thespecimen and prepare a new one. Pr

20、t.8. Precision and Bias58.1 Precision: Pigment ContentOn the basis of an inter-laboratory test of this test method in which eighteen operatorsin nine laboratories analyzed three materials containing threepigment levels between 24 and 28 %, the within-laboratorystandard deviation was found to be 0.24

21、 % absolute and thebetween-laboratories 0.38 % absolute. Based on these standarddeviations, the following criteria should be used for judging theacceptability of results at the 95 % confidence level:8.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results obtained by the sameoperator should be considered suspect if they diff

22、er by morethan 0.66 % absolute.8.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate determinations, obtained by operators in different labora-tories should be considered suspect if they differ by more than1.05 % absolute.8.2 Bias: Pigment ContentOn the basis of the same study,the mean of tw

23、o determinations should be within 5 % relativeof the formula pigment content of a waterborne paint contain-ing only inorganic pigments.8.3 Precision: Nonvolatile Content On the basis of aninterlaboratory test of this test method in which fourteenoperators in seven laboratories analyzed three materia

24、ls con-taining three nonvolatile levels between 43 and 48 %, thewithin-laboratory standard deviation was found to be 0.18 %absolute and the between-laboratories standard deviation wasfound to be 0.445 % absolute. Based on these standard devia-tions the following criteria should be used for judging t

25、heacceptability of results at the 95 % confidence level:8.3.1 RepeatabilityTwo results obtained by the sameoperator should be considered suspect if they differ by morethan 0.49 % absolute.8.3.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate determinations, obtained by operators in different

26、 labora-tories should be considered suspect if they differ by more than1.23 % absolute.8.4 Bias: Nonvolatile ContentBias cannot be determinedbecause there are no accepted standards for nonvolatile contentin coatings.9.
