1、Designation: D2876 00 (Reapproved 2016)Standard Test Method forWater-Soluble Matter of Vegetable-Tanned Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2876; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
2、last revision. 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 the determination of the water-soluble materials in all types of vegetable-tanned leathers. Th
3、istest method does not apply to wet blue.1.2 The values stated in SI units are 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 th
4、e user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D3495 Test Method for Hexane Extraction of Leather3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The test method gives the am
5、ount of water-solublematter extracted from the leather at 35C by 1 L of water in 3h. The leather is first freed of hexane-extractable material byextraction with hexane and leaving at ambient temperature inan exhaust hood to remove the hexane.4. Significance and Use4.1 The test method is useful for d
6、etermining the water-soluble materials in vegetable-tanned leathers.4.2 The water-soluble matter includes the soluble nontan-ning components of the tanning materials used, sugars andmaterials of a similar nature, and inorganic compounds such asEpsom salts, Glaubers salts, borax, and other soluble sa

Apparatus5.1 Crystallizing Dish, borosilicate glass, 50 mm tall, 70mm in outside diameter, and weighing between 30 and 39 g.5.2 Extractor, Reed-Churchill Type3The extraction tubeshall have an internal diameter of 45 6 2 mm and a length of233 6 10 mm.

Test Specimen6.1 The specimen shall consist of the 5-g leather sample thathas been extracted with hexane as directed in Test MethodD3495.Any deviat
9、ion from this sample size should be includedwith the analytical results.7. Procedure7.1 Insert a plug of cotton or glass wool in the extractiontube before the specimen is added. Place the specimen in theextraction tube, slurry, and extract at 35C by adjusting theflow to such a rate as to give 1 L of
10、 extract in 3 h. Cool theextract to 23C, adjust to volume, and thoroughly mix.7.2 If the extract is clear, pipet 100 mL into a taredcrystallizing dish, evaporate and dry in a circulating air oven at99 6 1C for 16 to 18 h, transfer to a desiccator, cool, andweigh.7.3 If the extract is not clear, filt

Place a 215-mmdiameter filter paper,4pleated so that it contains 32 evenlydivided creases, into a 125-mL funnel. To

When 40 mL of the filtratehave passed through, collect the next portion in a clear, dryglass container and, when about 125 mL have been collected,remove the container from beneath the f
