1、Designation: D 7476 08Standard Test Method forBrine Saturation Value of Cured (Salt-Preserved) Hides andSkins1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 7476; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l

2、ast 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 estimation of degree ofsaturation of the brine content of cured (salt-preserved) hidesand s

3、kins containing 40 % or more moisture.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility

4、 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.

6、d in normal laboratory practice andrequire no special comment.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The moisture (volatile matter by oven drying) and ashcontent of a composite hide or skin sample are determined. Forpurposes of calculation the ash is assumed to be equivalent tosodium chloride and the moisture

7、 is assumed to be equivalentto water. The percent ratio of ash to moisture is calculated. Thisratio times 100 is divided by 35.9 (which is the percent salt tomoisture ratio in a saturated sodium chloride (brine) solution at20C (68F) to estimate the percent of saturation in the brinesolution in the h

8、ides or skins.NOTE 1A saturated solution of sodium chloride at 20C (68F)contains 26.4 % by weight of NaCl. Therefore, in 100 g of that saturatedsolution only 73.6 g (100 26.4 g) is contributed by water. As such on aweight basis, 100 parts by weight of water will dissolve 35.9 parts (100x 26.4)/73.6

9、by weight of NaCl.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is intended to evaluate whether suffi-cient salt (NaCl) has been retained by the hides or skins to slowdown degradation by bacterial (enzymatic) action, and to slowdown autolysis by inherent enzymatic action, until they arepreserved by a

10、tanning process.NOTE 2Osmosis occurs during brine curing because moisture isdrawn out by salt through the epidermis.4Low moisture ( 40 %) in thehides does not necessarily indicate poor cure. A hide may have lowmoisture due to osmosis; to increased fat content; or to drying outconditions. In all inst

11、ances the hides would still show adequate cure if themoisture was saturated to approximately 85 % salt, because the ash:moisture ratio would be adequate.6. Apparatus6.1 Crucible, 30 to 50 mL, high-form, platinum or porce-lain. Prepare crucible by heating it for 15 min in a mufflefurnace set at 600 6

18、dgment in accordance with statements 13.1.1would normally have an approximate 95% probability of beingcorrect, however the precision statistics obtained in this ILSmust not be treated as exact mathematical quantities which areapplicable to all circumstances and uses. The limited numberof laboratorie

19、s reporting results guarantees that there will betimes when differences greater than predicted by the ILSresults will arise, sometimes with considerably greater orsmaller frequency than the 95% probability limit would imply.The repeatability limit should be considered as a general guide,and the asso
