1、Designation: D2423 90 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Method forSurface Wax on Waxed Paper or Paperboard1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2423; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last rev
2、ision. 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 determination of the weight ofwax on the surface of waxed paper.1.2 The values stated in SI units are
3、to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.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-priate safety and health practices a

In countries where the metric systemis not universal, basis weight is also expressed in pounds perream.3.1.2 ream of paper (news and w
7、rapping), n500 sheetseach 610 mm by 914 mm (24 in. by 36 in.).3.1.2.1 DiscussionFor factors to convert basis weight ingrams per square metre to other commercial reams, see TestMethod D646.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The quantity of wax present as a surface film on paperor paperboard is determined t
8、hrough the difference in weight ofspecimens before and after scraping with a razor blade.5. Significance and Use5.1 Many of the functional properties of waxed paper andpaperboard are related to the amount of wax present as asurface film. Test methods which determine wax load bysolvent extraction do
9、not differentiate between the wax presentas a surface wax layer and that which has penetrated into thesubstrate. This test method, which mechanically removes thewax, measures the amount on each surface of the substrate.6. Apparatus6.1 Pad of paper to be used as a cushion under the waxedpaper specime
10、ns during the scraping operation.6.2 Analytical Balance, capable of reproducing weights tothe nearest 0.001 g.6.3 Razor Blade, single-edged for scraping the wax from thespecimen.6.4 Trimming Board, or other device for cutting paperspecimens. A paper cutter having an attachment for ensuringparallelis
11、m of the opposite edge of the trimmed sheet, or atemplate, or a die cutter is recommended.6.5 Measuring Device, capable of measuring the size of thespecimen to an accuracy 0.5 mm.7. Sampling7.1 Select samples that are free of wrinkles, cuts, or otherdefects in accordance with Practice D585.8. Proced
12、ure8.1 Prepare a specimen consisting of a 100 mm by 100 mmsquare of waxed paper. Determine the area (in square millime-tres) of each specimen to the nearest 1.0 % of its total area.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D02 onPetroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants an

16、, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.18.2 Weigh the specimen on the analytical balance to thenearest 0.5 % of its total weight.8.3 Remove the surface wax from one side of the specimen(side No. 1) by scraping toward each of it
17、s four edges asfollows: Hold the specimen firmly on the pad to preventslippage. With a razor blade held vertically, scrape the entirearea of one side of the specimen with repeated one-directionalstrokes of the blade, slightly overlapping the strokes. Rotate thespecimen through 90 and repeat the scra
18、ping. Continuerotating and scraping twice more to complete the process.8.4 Reweigh the specimen as described in 8.2. Record theweight of the specimen as the scraped basis weight side No. 1.8.5 Remove the surface wax from side No. 2 of thespecimen by scraping as described in 8.3.8.6 Reweigh the speci
19、men and record the weight as thescraped basis weight side No. 2.9. Calculation9.1 The surface wax weight is determined by weight differ-ence. The weight of surface wax on side No. 1 of the sample isthe difference between the initial weight and the scrapedweight side No. 1. The weight of the surface
20、wax on side No.2 of the sample is the difference between the scraped weightside No. 2 and the scraped weight side No. 1. Multiply theweight in grams per square millimetre by 106to convert tograms per square metre.10. Report10.1 Report the surface wax weight in grams per squaremetre. To convert from
21、grams per square metre to pounds perream, see Test Method D646. To obtain results in terms ofpounds per 1000 ft2, multiply the grams per square metre by0.205.11. Precision and BiasNOTE 1The precision data were obtained on five replicate specimens(in each laboratory) on samples of commercially waxed
22、paper with aweight range of between 3.25 g m2and 9.76 g m2(2 lb 3000 ft2and6 lb 3000 ft2) of wax on each surface.11.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method as deter-mined by statistical examination of interlaboratory results is asfollows:11.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two testresult
23、s, obtained by the same operator with the same apparatusunder constant operating conditions on identical test material,would in the long run, in the normal and correct operation ofthe test method, exceed the following values only in one casein twenty:0.976 g/m20.6 lb/ream! (1)11.1.2 ReproducibilityT
24、he difference between two singleand independent results obtained by different operators work-ing in different laboratories on identical test material would, inthe long run, in the normal and correct operation of the testmethod, exceed the following values only in one case intwenty:1.46 g/m20.9 lb/re
25、am! (2)11.2 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no biasbecause the surface wax on waxed paper or paperboard can bedefined only in terms of a test method.12.
