Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D2617 Test Method for Total Ash in LeatherD2876 Test Method for Water-Soluble Matter of Vegetable-Tanned Leather3. Summary
5、of Test Method3.1 The specimen from which the water-soluble matter hasbeen removed is heated at 600 6 25C until carbon is removedand constant weight is attained. The weighed residual matter istermed “insoluble ash” and is calculated as percentage of theoriginal sample.4. Significance and Use4.1 This
6、 test method gives the amount of ash remaining inthe specimen after water extraction to remove water solublesfrom the leather in accordance with Test Method D2876. Theinsoluble ash is used in calculating the combined tanninbecause it is part of the tanned fiber structure that does notleach from the

Apparatus5.1 Crucible, porcelain or platinum, large enough to holdthe leather specimen.5.2 Electric Muffle Furnace, with temperature controllerand pyrometer, capable of maintaining a temperature of 600 625C.6. Test Specimen6.1 The specimen shall consist of the 5-g

Procedure7.1 Remove the specimen quantitatively from the extractiontube, dry at room temperature, transfer to the crucible, place ina co

Calculation8.1 Calculate the percentage of insoluble ash in the leatheras follows:Insoluble ash, % 5 W32 W2!/W1#

Precision and Bias39.1 The precision of this test method is limited by the lackof homogeneity of the sample in a complex material such asleather. It will also vary with the insoluble a
