1、Designation: D4948 89 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Test Method forDetermination of the Upper Layer Separated from a ViscousLiquid1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4948; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revisio

2、n, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the amountof liquid separated as an upper layer in a 24-h

3、period fromviscous solutions or dispersions that contain dispersed solidssuch as paints, enamels, pigmented lacquers, adhesives, pol-ishes, and other similar materials.NOTE 1The amount of clear liquid that separates during this test isone of the criteria in the United Nations Recommendations on theT

The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to addr

Summary of Test Method3.1 Ameasured amount of the material to be tested is placedin a graduated cylinder and allowed to stand undisturbed for 24h. The volume percent of the separated top layer is thendetermined.4. Significance and Use4.1 Th

7、e United Nations Committee of Experts on theTransport of Dangerous Goods in their recommended regula-tions place materials having a flash point below 23C (73.5F)in Packing Group II. However, if viscous substances such aspaint and related coatings, adhesives, polishes, etc., meetcertain requirements,

8、 they can be placed in Group III alongwith materials having a flash point between 23 and 60.5C(73.5 and 140F). One of the requirements is that less than 3 %of clear liquid separates from the bulk of the material whensubjected to this test method.4.2 At the present time most international regulatory

9、bodiessuch as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) use theU.N. Recommendations. It is anticipated that most nationaltransportation regulatory bodies will adopt the U.N. Recom-mendations as their regulations for control of transportatio

Conditioning7.1 Store the sample or a representative portion at a constanttemperature of 23 6 2C (73.5 6 3.5

12、F) until the samplereaches a uniform temperature of 23C (73.5F).8. Procedure8.1 Thoroughly stir the sample to obtain uniform consis-tency and, in the case of materials containing particles, uniformdispersion of these particles.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Pain
