Reagents and Materials7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it
19、 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.5Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its
20、use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referenceto water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Type II of Specification D1193.7.3 Carrier GasHelium of 99.995 % or higher purity.High-purity nitrogen may also be used.NOTE
21、1Care should be taken that any moisture that may be present inthe carrier gas is eliminated through the use of a suitable carrier gaspurifier. Trace levels of water will accumulate on the column at low oventemperatures and may affect the reproducibility as well as the accuracy ofthe determination.7.

It is good practice todetermine the relative retention time daily or with each seriesof determinations. Failure of this value to remain relativelyconstant may indicat

Weigh 9.0 g of dimethylforma-mide (DMF) into the vial. If the DMF is anhydrous, simply add9 mL of it as weighing is not nec
31、essary.10.2.4 Inject a 1- or 2-l aliquot of the above solution intothe column and record the chromatogram. The retention orderand approximate retention times after the air peak are (1)water; (2) internal standard, and (3) DMF (see Fig. 1).10.2.5 Calculate the response factor for water by means ofthe
32、 following equation:R 5Wi!AH2O!WH2O!Ai!(1)where:Wi= weight of internal standard,WH2O= weight of water added,AH2O= area of water peak, andAi= area of internal standard peak.11. Procedure11.1 Weigh to 0.1 mg, 0.6 g of waterborne paint (see Note3) and 0.6 g of internal standard into a septum vial. Add
33、7.0 gof DMF into the vial. Seal the vial.NOTE 3Initially, each paint specimen should be analyzed to check forthe presence of methanol or isopropanol so that the proper internalstandard can be used. Check each paint system to be analyzed forinterfering peaks. Coalescing agents do not interfere with t

To facilitate settling of solids allowthe vials to stand for 5 min just prior to injection into thechromatograph. Low-speed centrifugation may also be used.11.3 Inject a 1- or 2-L sample of the super

Calculations12.1 With the integrator set up to measure the area of thewater and the internal standard peaks, multiply each area by theappr
36、opriate attenuation factor to express the peak areas on acommon basis. Use of an electronic integrator is recommendedto obtain the best accuracy and precision.12.2 Calculate the water concentration in the paint by meansof the following equation:H2O,%5AH2O3 Wi3100Ai3 Wp3 R(2)where:AH2O= area of water

If the relativepercent difference between the two values is
38、greater than1.6 %, repeat the determinations in duplicate.12.4 Correction for Water Content of Solvent:12.4.1 If the blank indicates the presence of a detectablepeak for water in the dimethylformamide used as solvent, makea correction in the calculation.12.4.2 The water content of the dimethylformam
39、ide deter-mined by either chromatography or preferably, Karl Fischertitration is used to make the correction. Calculate the watercontent due to the solvent by using the following equation:H2OS!,%Ws!P!100Wp(3)where:Ws= weight of dimethylformamide,Wp= weight of paint, andP = weight % of water in DMF/1

Precision and Bias713.1 The precision estimates are based on an interlaboratorystudy in which five different
41、laboratories analyzed in duplicateon two days six samples of waterborne paints containing from34 to 76 % H2O. The results obtained were analyzed statisti-cally in accordance with Practice E180. The within-laboratorycoefficient of variation was found to be 0.77 % relative at 27 dfand the between-labo
42、ratories coefficient of variation 1.72 %relative at 21 df. Based on these coefficients, the followingcriteria should be used for judging the acceptability of resultsat the 95 % confidence level.13.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate deteminations, obtained by the same operator
43、on differentdays should be considered suspect if they differ by more than2.8 % relative.13.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of du-plicate determinations, obtained by operators in different labo-ratories should be considered suspect if they differ by morethan 5.0 % relative.6Select an in
44、ternal standard compound that is not part of the paint or coatingformulation, or is not formed during the cure. Any compound that elutes free ofinterferences relatively close to water and gives approximately the same peak heightand peak width could be used. Both 2-propanol and methanol have been fou
