1、Designation: C282 10 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Test Method forAcid Resistance of Porcelain Enamels(Citric Acid Spot Test)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C282; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONThe described method fu
3、rnishes a means of testing and grading glossy porcelain enamels withrespect to their resistance to citric acid at room temperature. Citric acid has been selected because itis the most common and one of the more severe of the food acids in its action on conventionalporcelain enamels. The degree of et
4、ching by a citric acid solution provides a good indication of thesusceptibility of attack of a porcelain enamel coating to common food-based acids.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers a procedure for evaluatingporcelain enamels in their resistance to citric acid exposure atroom temperature. No attemp
5、t is made to categorize porcelainenamels as to their acid-resistance or non acid-resistanceproperties, since the requirements in the several branches of theindustry differ.1.2 The test method is applicable for ware of various shapesproviding they contain a substantially flat area approximately50 mm
6、in diameter.1.3 The test method is not applicable to finishes on chemicaland hospital ware, which may come in contact with strongmineral acids, nor to cooking utensils, which may come inprolonged contact with hot acid solutions.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,
7、 if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility 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. Summary of Test Method2.1 The test method consists of a 15 min exposure of the tests
8、urface to a small pool of 10 % citric acid, and an evaluation ofthe effect in terms of the change in appearance and the “relativecleanability” of the surface resulting from the treatment.3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is intended specifically for testing theporcelain enamel finish on st
9、oves, refrigerators, table tops,sinks and other sanitary ware, laundry appliances, architecturalunits, etc., where the surface may come in contact with foodacids at room temperature.3.2 Citric acid has been chosen as the test medium becauseit is one of the most common of the food acids and willgener
10、ally provide a measurable result in its action on porcelainenamel.4.

Procedure7.1 Thoroughly wash area to be tested using a soft cottontowel moistened with a warm, 1 % solution of trisodiumphosphate. Rinse in warm, running tap water,
16、and dry with asoft towel by blotting. Store the specimen at a temperature of26 6 1C (79 6 2F) for a time sufficient to bring it within thisrange prior to and during the test.NOTE 2If, when rinsing, the water gathers in drops on the surface,repeat washing treatment until water spreads evenly.7.2 On a
17、rticles of commerce, select areas that are horizontalor nearly horizontal in service. Place the specimen in a positionsuch that a flat area at least 38.1 mm in diameter is horizontal.With the specimen and the citric acid solution at 26 6 1C (796 2F), place several drops of the solution on the test a
18、rea toform a pool, and immediately cover with a clean watch glass inthe inverted position. Use a quantity of solution that is justsufficient to fill the inverted watch glass except for a small airbubble (three to six drops are usually required, depending uponthe dropper and the curvature of the watc
19、h glass). After 15 minof treatment, remove the watch glass and immediately rinse thespot of solution from the surface. Dry the specimen with a dry,clean, soft cotton towel by blotting (not rubbing).NOTE 3The test surface must be thoroughly dry before grading. Thepresence of a slight film of water on
20、 the surface may change the rating ofspecimens near the borderline between classes.8. Grading8.1 Grade the test specimen within 2 h after exposure to thetest solution using the procedure outlined in the diagram, Fig.1. Rate each specimen with the appropriate classification grade,AA, A, B, C or D, as
21、 explained in Table 1. The criteria referredto in Fig. 1 and Table 1 are described as follows:8.1.1 Visual ExaminationView the specimen at variousangles with respect to the light source and eye, in order todetect whether the “treated area” differs in any respect from the“protected area.” Use partial
22、ly diffused daylight, supplementedif necessary by artificial light, the total intensity being approxi-mately that available within a few feet of an outside window,but do not examine in direct sunlight. During observation, holdthe specimen no nearer the light source (such as a window)than the minimum
23、 diameter of the source.NOTE 4The term “treated area” refers to that portion of the specimenwhich has been subjected to acid solution confined by the watch glassduring treatment. The term “protected (untreated) area” refers to the areaadjacent to the treated area.NOTE 5Some colored porcelain enamels
24、 exhibit a change in color asa result of the acid treatment. Since the test is designed primarily toevaluate durability, color changes as revealed by this test should beignored except where otherwise specified.8.1.2 Dry-Rubbing TestUsing the flat point of a degree3B, conventional graphite drafting p
25、encil held in a normalwriting position and applied with firm pressure, draw two ormore approximately parallel lines extending across the treatedarea. Starting with gentle pressure and then applying graduallyincreasing pressure, rub repeatedly across the lines with a dry,clean, soft cotton towel as i
26、llustrated in Fig. 2. If marks arecompletely removed from the treated area, the specimen shallbe rated as Class AA. Otherwise, continue as directed.NOTE 6The pencil point should be prepared by holding a sharpenedpencil in a normal writing position and rubbing on abrasive paper (1/0Emery polishing or
27、 400-grit silicon carbide or aluminum oxide abrasivepaper) until the minimum diameter of the flat, circular cross section is halfthat of the full graphite core.8.1.3 Blurring-Highlight TestIn a well-lighted location,hold the specimen so that the image of a small light source,such as a frosted lamp b
28、ulb, is observed as a highlight in theprotected area, the line of vision being within 45 perpendicu-lar to the surface (a desk lamp with an incandescent bulb isFIG. 1 Flow Sheet of Test Procedure for Classification of Treated SpecimensTABLE 1 Requirements for Respective Classes of AcidResistanceClas

Focus the eyes on the image ofthe light source, then slowly shift the specimen just sufficientlyto bring this image into the treated area observing it as it passesacross the boundary line between the two areas. Ignore anycolor difference in th
31、e enamel due to staining. If a definiteblurring of the image is observed as it passes from theprotected to the treated area, the specimen shall be rated asClass C or Class D. Proceed to 8.1.5 to determine finalclassification. If a blurring image is not observed, the specimenshall be rated as Class A
32、 or Class B. Proceed to 8.1.4 todetermine final classification.8.1.4 Wet-Rubbing TestUsing the procedure specified in8.1.2 mark the treated area and rub the marks with a clean, softcotton towel which has been dipped in water and twisted toremove any excess. For this test, make new marks in a locatio
33、nother than that used for the dry-rubbing test. Do not use soap,abrasive, or similar cleaning material. If the marks are com-pletely removed from treated area, the specimen shall be ratedas Class A. Otherwise it shall be rated as Class B.8.1.5 Disappearing-Highlight TestThis test is similar inall re
34、spects to the blurring-highlight test specified in 8.1.3,except that the criterion in this case is the complete disappear-ance of the highlight in the treated area. If the highlight isvisible in the treated area, the specimen shall be rated as ClassC. If the highlight disappears in the treated area,
35、 the specimenshall be rated as Class D.9. Report9.1 Report the assigned grade for each specimen. If thecitric acid treatment is performed at temperatures outside thestated tolerances, this variation should be reported.10. Reproducibility10.1 Since variations may occur during enameling whichaffect th
