Summary of Test Method4.1 Since environmental conditions such as temperature,humidity and air flow can result in variable results, it isrecommended that this test method be performed in a constanttemperature / humidity room (23 6

7、 2C (73.5 6 3.5F) / 506 5 % relative humidity. Test paints are applied to the center ofa sealed chart with a 76 microns (3 mil) wet film thickness. Xmarks are made immediately. The number of X marks willdepend on how many can fit on one drawdown (see Fig. 1). Thetest paint is then applied in perpend

8、icular sections, brushingeach section across the initial painted section. The perpendicu-lar sections are repeated at agreed upon time intervals. Afterdrying, wet edge is recorded as the last time the test paint couldbe brushed into the initial painted section without the edges ofthe first coat bein

Significance and Use5.1 Latex paints dry very quickly which often causesdifficulty in final appearance of painted areas, especially paintsformulated below 100g/L VOC where lower amounts ofsolvents are in the formulated latex pai

Precision and Bias49.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study conducted in 2006/2007. Each of 15laboratories tested four commercial paints for time elapsedwhen edges of first

23、 coat become visible (min) and time elapsedwhen the X marks become visible (min) to determine preci-sion. Practice E691 was followed for the design and analysis ofthe data; the details are given in ASTM Research Report No.RR:D01-1154.9.2 Because different paint formulations vary in open time,precisi

24、on will also vary. This interlaboratory study includedsamples from four different commercial paints each resulting indifferent open time measurements.9.2.1 Repeatability Limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r” value fo
