5、2 Other Document:Pictorial Standards of Paint Roller Spatter33. Summary of Test Method3.1 The test paint is applied to a black plastic panel bydraw-down. The coated plastic panel is immediately mountedon an essentially vertical surface above a sheet of paper used tocatch any spatter. A specially des
6、igned notched spool roller(see 5.1) is rolled through the film following a definedprocedure, tending to generate spatter. Any spatter falls uponthe spatter catch paper and, after drying, is rated against thepictorial standards.4. Significance and Use4.1 Paint spatter generated by roller application
7、is depen-dent on the properties of both the paint being applied and thepaint roller cover used for the application. To eliminate theinfluence of the paint roller cover as a variable, and thus restrictthe spatter-inducing variable to the paint under test only, thepaint roller cover is replaced by a s
8、tandard notched spool rollerto generate spatter by a mechanism that simulates that of apaint-applying roller cover.4.2 Although most of the development work to establish thistest method was undertaken using latex paints, sufficient workwas also done to show its applicability to solvent-reduciblepain
9、ts.4.3 Tests during the development of this test methodshowed that the spattering properties of paints, like otherphysical properties, may in time change. Therefore, the resultsof this test are valid only for the time when the test is run.5. Apparatus5.1 Notched Spool Test Roller (Fig. 1).45.2 Glass

17、Sample the material in accordance with PracticeD 3925.7.2 Prior to testing, the samples shall be conditioned inaccordance with the standard atmosphere described in Speci-fication D 3924. The testing shall take place under the sameconditions.8. Procedure8.1 Clean the top of the glass plate and both s
18、ides of theblack plastic panel to ensure that they are free of specks. Placethe black plastic panel on the glass plate and tape the narrowend at the top to the glass plate. Smooth the panel along theplate to ensure a close fit.8.2 Stir the paint under test thoroughly and strain to removeall skins an
19、d particles. Place the film caster with the 7.0-mil(175-m) side down immediately below the taped portion ofthe black plastic panel. Turn on the metronome. Into the wellformed by the film caster, pour sufficient paint that the well isfilled from corner to corner. Draw down the paint the fulllength of
20、 the black plastic panel until the film caster is fullybeyond the far edge. The rate of application should be fairlyslow, 3 to 4 s. from end to end, to prevent pinholes or holidaysin the paint film.8.3 Immediately upon completion of the draw-down, re-move the black plastic panel from the glass plate
21、, keeping themasking tape intact, and tape, with the long direction verticalto a surface that is vertical or nearly vertical (within 5 ofvertical, top sloping away from the operator) with the bottomof the black plastic panel about 1 in. (25 mm) above thelaboratory bench or table (Fig. 2). It is desi
22、rable that the surfaceunder the black plastic panel be firm but with a little resilience.6The sole source of supply of the dull black plastic panels, Leneta P-121-10N,612 by 17 in. by 10 mil (production tolerance 61 mil) (165 by 430 by 250 m) insize known to the committee at this time is Leneta Comp

Alway
26、s keep the notched spool in contact with the blackplastic panel, not removing the roller from the film whenchanging directions. Make ten passes in each direction (20passes total), 15 612 in. (380 6 15 mm) per pass, progres-sively moving sideways from one edge of the film to the other(Fig. 3). Each p
27、ass should coincide with a beat of themetronome and the motion should be continuous, not jerky. Tryto emulate the motion of the metronome, using the metronomefor accurate timing (practice the motion with the metronome togain the necessary rhythm and timing), since the speed of therolling of the notc
28、hed spool roller through the paint film hasbeen found to be the only variable significantly affecting theresults of the test. Make sure that all four flanges of the notchedspool roller are within the draw-down area at all times. Usesufficient pressure to maintain constant contact between thenotched
29、spool roller and the black plastic panel. Note that aslong as constant contact is maintained, pressure variations havenot been found to affect the results noticeably.8.5 Remove the spatter catch paper and lay it in a suitableplace to dry.8.6 Repeat the test with a second plastic panel after cleaning

The 712-in. side will be the front edge. Center thearea with respect to the spatter so a maximum of spatter is onthis sheet (Fig. 4).9.2
31、 Compare the cut-out area to the pictorial standards.Assign the rating that most closely matches a standard,interpolating as needed for ratings (0poor spatter resistance,2, 4, 6, 8, and 10no spatter).NOTE 1Figs. 5-9 are duplications thereof for sample purposes and arenot meant to be used for test gr
32、ading purposes.9.3 In rating the paints using the photographic standards,consider the population of spatter droplets of greater impor-tance than the average size of the spatter droplets.9.4 If the ratings of two tests do not agree within 1 unit,repeat until such precision is obtained.FIG. 2 Test Set

Precision and Bias10.1 In an interlaboratory study of this test method in whichone operato
34、r in each of three laboratories tested six paints witha broad range in spattering properties, one operator in twoother laboratories tested three of the paints and one operator inone laboratory tested only two paints, the between-laboratoriesstandard deviation was found to be 0.17 rating units (see N
35、ote2) with 18 df, with no results discarded. Based on this standarddeviation, the following criteria should be used for judging theacceptability of results at the 95 % confidence level:10.1.1 RepeatabilityIntralaboratory precision is normallybetter than interlaboratory precision. However, when ratin
36、g isinvolved, it is difficult to establish reliability because of thenatural tendency for bias when operators know the samematerial is being tested again.NOTE 2When the results were ranked, the agreement among the sixoperators was perfect. This might not occur if some paints with lessdistinct differ
37、ences in spattering properties were included in a similarstudy.10.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results obtained by operatorsin different laboratories should be considered suspect if theydiffer by more than 0.5 units.10.2 BiasBias can not be determined for this test methodbecause there is no standard refer
