METHODS OF SAMPLING AND TESTING 7.1. Exce
36、pt as shown in Section 6.2, the paint shall be sampled and tested in accordance with the appropriate method in Fed. Std. No. 141. If no method exists in the Federal Test Method, the appropriate ASTM method shall be used. Note 2Because of the volatility of the solvents used, extreme care must be take
37、n when testing Type F paint for pigment and solids. It is recommended that closed containers, weighing bottles, and transfer devices such as syringes or pipettes be used. High results for pigments and solids can be expected if weighing precautions are not taken. 7.2. The purchaser may utilize X-ray
38、analysis, gas chromatography, infrared, or ultraviolet spectral analysis of the paint or its components to determine whether specified ingredients were used. Evidence of adulteration or improper formulation shall be cause for rejection. 2013 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
