2、the year of 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 guide covers preparing specifications for water-emulsion floor polishes on all nonwood floors and for
3、 sealed woodfloors.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
4、concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.

Sampling7.1 For Inspecti
21、on LotsSample all production batches. Take a minimum of one sample. Protect samples from any possibilityof freezing. The sample shall consist of at least 1 gal (3.8 L) of floor polish taken in accordance with 7.2.7.2 Method of SamplingSelect samples at random. Take the number of samples agreed upon
22、between the purchaser and theseller. Cans or containers should be coded or identified to correspond to production batch codes.7.3 Identification and DispositionAll subdivisions of the sample taken in accordance with 7.1 and 7.2 shall be properlyidentified, including any code or batch numbers, and nu
23、mbered consecutively. Samples shall be distributed as directed by thepurchaser or his authorized representative.Any remaining shall be retained at the sampling site pending further or final instructions.8. Test Methods8.1 Infrared Spectroscopy:8.1.1 Test SpecimenCut a 212-in. (64-mm) square of alumi
24、num foil of 3-mil (0.08-mm) thickness (minimum) having one sidemirror bright. Wash the square with absolute alcohol, and air dry. The mirror bright side should give a spectra that differs less than2 % transmittance from the standard front surface test mirror used in the specular reflectance accessor
25、y (individual spectropho-tometers have different accessories). Apply approximately 1 mL of floor polish with an eye dropper in a zig-zag pattern, andproduce a uniform layer by means of a 2-in. (51-mm) doctor blade with 0.008-in. (0.20-mm) gap. The sample thus prepared isallowed to dry overnight befo
26、re use.8.1.2 ProcedureRun the spectrum of the coated foil on an infrared spectrophotometer equipped with a specular reflectanceaccessory. The base line of the spectrum should show approximately 90 % transmittance, and the most intense band should showapproximately 10 %. It may be necessary to move t
27、he coated aluminum foil slightly to approach these conditions as nearly aspossible.8.2 ColorMethod D3210.8.3 Gas Chromatography:D3440 1328.3.1 ApparatusPack a 6-ft by 18-in. (1.83-mm by 3.2-mm) stainless steel column with 5 weight % OV-17 phenylmethylsilicone on Chromosorb W803 100 mesh, acid washed
28、 and silanized. Condition the column overnight in helium at 340C in thegas chromatograph.8.3.2 ProcedureProgram the oven temperature from 100 to 325C at 6C/min, with a 2-min post injection hold at 100C andan upper temperature hold at 325C for 30 min. Set the injection port and detectors (Note 1) at
29、325C and gas flows as follows:helium 75 mL/min and 50 psi (345 kPa), hydrogen 35 mL/min and 30 psi (205 kPa) and air, 280 mL/min and 30 psi. The samplesize should be 3 L of floor polish. Condition the chromatograph with one prerun of the sample. Discard the results of this prerun.The evaluation of r
30、esults may be performed manually or with any integrator.NOTE 1It is desirable to use a flame detector set at a suitable attenuation range since the organic content of floor polish is low and there is an upperlimit to the amount of water that can be put on a column.NOTE 2This test method was derived
