1、Designation: D 2698 05Standard Test Method forDetermination of the Pigment Content of Solvent-ReduciblePaints by High-Speed Centrifuging1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 2698; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case
2、 of revision, the year of 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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test
3、method covers the separation of pigment fromsolvent-reducible paints and the calculation of the percentpigment from the results of nonvolatile determinations on thetotal paint and the separated vehicle.NOTE 1This test method has been proven to be applicable to mostsolvent-reducible paints, the excep
4、tion being those paints containingseverely bleeding pigments or pigments such as carbon black that are verydifficult or impossible to centrifuge.1.2 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 pur
5、port 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 and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、2369 Test Method for Volatile Content of Coatings3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method describes a rapid method for separatingpigment from solvent-reducible paints.3.2 This test method is used by paint producers and con-sumers for product acceptance and process control.4. Apparatus4.1 Laborato
7、ry Centrifuge, capable of developing 32 000 gor higher.35. Procedure5.1 Shake the sample for 10 min on a mechanical shaker,stir with a paddle to loosen any caked pigment, and shake againfor 10 min. If necessary, repeat until there are no lumps presentand the sample is thoroughly mixed.5.2 Add the mi
8、xed paint to the centrifuge container untilsufficient paint is added to permit the recovery of 25 mLminimum of clear vehicle. Revolve the bowl at 32 000 g orhigher for 15 min or until a clear vehicle is obtained.5.3 Transfer the vehicle carefully, so as not to dislodge anyof the pigment from the wal
9、ls, into a jar that is immediatelycapped to prevent any solvent losses by evaporation. Use thisvehicle for the determination of the nonvolatile content of theseparated vehicle.6.

Recovery of Pigment for Analysis8.1 The pigment may be completely recovered from thecentrifuge bowl and washed to remov
15、e residual vehicle. Thismay be done either by a Soxhlet extraction or washing thepigment with a suitable solvent and recentrifuging.NOTE 2It has been noted that the removal of the pigment from thebowl of a Sharples supercentrifuge can be facilitated by lining the bowlwith a piece of polyester film p
16、rior to adding the sample and subsequentlyjust slipping the polyester film along with the pigment out of the bowl.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe precision estimates are based on aninterlaboratory study of this test method in which air dryingmaterials were analyzed in duplicate or triplicate.
17、The follow-ing criteria should be used for judging the acceptability ofresults at the 95 % confidence level:9.1.1 RepeatabilityThe difference between two results,each the mean of duplicate determinations obtained by thesame operator, will approximate 0.1 % absolute. Two suchvalues should be consider
18、ed suspect if they differ by more than0.25 % absolute.9.1.2 ReproducibilityThe difference between two results,each the mean of duplicate determinations obtained by opera-tors in different laboratories, will approximate 0.25 % absolute.Two such values should be considered suspect if they differ bymor
19、e than 0.5 % absolute.9.1.3 This precision pertains to air-drying materials. Heat-reactive vehicles will have a repeatability and reproducibilityapproximately twice as large, that is, 0.5 % and 1.0 % absolute.9.1.4 It should be noted that when the solvent content of thetotal paint is very low (15 %
20、or less) the precision of this testmethod will not be satisfactory unless the nonvolatile determi-nation is precise to the second decimal place.9.2 BiasBias cannot be determined for this method be-cause there are no accepted standards for pigment content ofsolvent-reducible paints.10.
