1、Designation: D 2338 02 (Reapproved 2007)Standard Test Method forDetermining Particle Size of Multicolor Lacquers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2338; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o
2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method employs photographic reference stan-dards to evaluate the particle size of multicolor lacquers.1.2
3、 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-
4、priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Adjuncts:Grain Sizes (5 photos)23. Summary of Test Method3.1 The samples to be tested are mixed by pouring from onecontainer to another until they are uniform in
5、 consistencybefore spraying on coated white paper stock. After the lacquersare dry they are compared with photographic reference stan-dards to determine the particle size.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a uniform nomenclature forthe producer and user in the identification of the
6、 variousparticle sizes used in the manufacture of nitrocellulose-typemulticolor lacquers.5. Reference Standards5.1 The photographic reference standards2were prepared byphotographing actual sprayed panels of multicolor lacquersthat were made in the five particle sizes normally used incommercial multi
7、color lacquers. The standard designations areas follows (Fig. 1(a), 1(b), 1(c): fine, small, medium, large,and extra large, and represent the correct nomenclature forproperly applied multicolor lacquer.6. Apparatus6.1 Spray Gun, pressure-feed internal-mix type, tip 2.2 mm(0.086 in.) in diameter with
8、 wide-spray nozzle.7. ProcedureNOTE 1The particle size of multicolor lacquer is dependent upon thespray conditions during the application procedure. In order to get uniformresults the exact spray conditions should be agreed upon between thepurchaser and the seller.7.1 Spray the lacquer on a coated w
9、hite paper panel with thefluid and atomizing pressures adjusted to give a spreading rateof 3.7 to 4.9 m2/L (150 to 200 ft2/gal) for complete coveringand 4.9 to 7.35 m2/L (200 to 300 ft2/gal) for scatter coatapplication. After the sprayed lacquer is thoroughly dry,determine the particle size on the p
10、anel by comparing it to thephotographic reference standards.28. Precision and Bias8.1 Precision:8.1.1 This test method entails the use of visual judgment andas such does not readily lend itself to a precision statement.8.1.2 In general there has been good agreement betweenoperators in judgment of pa
11、rticle size.8.2 Bias:8.2.1 No information can be presented on the bias of theprocedure in Test Method D 2338 for measuring particle sizebecause no material having an accepted reference value isavailable.9.
