2、sion, 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.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers measurement of the degree ofclarity and depth of yellowness of water-based
3、clear floorpolishes.1.2 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 and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to
4、 use.2. Terminology2.1 Definition:2.1.1 absorbancethe negative logarithm, to the base 10,of the ratio of the radiant power transmitted through a sampleto the radiant power incident upon the sample. Hence, as theclarity decreases or the depth of the yellowness increases theabsorbance increases.3. Sig
5、nificance and Use3.1 The laboratory technique described in this test method isused to evaluate the clarity and yellowness of water-based“clear” floor polishes for product development or qualitycontrol purposes.4. Apparatus4.1 Colorimeter,2equipped with cylindrical 20-mm matchedcells. (If 20-mm cells
6、 are not available, 10-mm matched cellsmay be substituted.)4.2 Any colorimeter having equivalent resolution and sen-sitivity may be used with the appropriate matched cells.5. Sampling5.1 The sample shall be representative of the material to betested and the portion used for the test shall be represe
7、ntativeof the sample itself.5.2 Calibration SampleAny emulsion polymer that visu-ally exhibits little or no yellowness, selected for dilution (see6.1).6. Preparation of Correction Graph6.1 Prepare minimum of five dilutions of the calibrationsample with distilled water so that absorbance reading betw
8、een0.00 and 0.16 at 500 nm are obtained. Measure the absorbanceat both 500 nm and 400 nm for each dilution (see Section 7).6.2 Plot the absorbance at 500 nm versus that at 400 nm andfit a straight line through the resulting points starting from theorigin (see Fig. 1).6.3 It is necessary to prepare a
9、 correction graph only oncefor a given instrument and set of cells.7. Procedure7.1 Adjustment of ColorimeterSet the colorimeter at 500nm and at 0 absorbance with distilled water as a blank in oneof the matched cells.7.2 AbsorbanceFill the companion cell with sample andplace in the cell holder. Read
10、and record the absorbance. Thisreading is indicative of the degree of turbidity.7.3 Adjustment of ColorimeterReset the colorimeter at400 nm and at 0 absorbance with distilled water as a blank inone of the matched cells.7.4 AbsorbanceRead and record the absorbance of thesample. This reading is indica
11、tive of the uncorrected yellow-ness.7.5 CorrectionThe corrected value for yellowness is therecorded absorbance from 7.2 corrected to 400 nm from thecorrection graph. Subtract this value from the total absorbanceat 400 nm, 7.4. The difference is the absorbance due toyellowness.8. Report8.1 Report the
12、 absorbance, indicating the cell size, to thenearest 0.01 unit based on duplicate determinations.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionDuplicate determinations obtained on thesame colorimeter that agree within 60.02 units are acceptablefor averaging.
