Summary of Test Me
5、thod3.1 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 designed notched spool roller(see 5.1) is rolled through the film following a defined
6、procedure, 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 is depen-dent on the properties of both the paint being applied and thepaint rolle
7、r 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 standard notched spool rollerto generate spatter by a mechanism that simulates that
8、 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-reduciblepaints.4.3 Tests during the development of this test methodshowed that the spattering
9、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.

Sampling and Conditioning7.1 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 Spe

Procedure8.1 Clean the top of the glass plate and both sides 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 p

Place the film caster with the 175-m(7.0-mil) side down immediately below the taped portion of theblack plastic panel. Turn on the metronome. Into the wel

Draw down the paint the fulllength of the black plastic panel until the film caster is fullybeyond the far edge. The rate of application should be fairlyslow, 3 to 4 seconds from end to end, to prevent pi

It is desirable that the surfaceunder the black plastic panel be firm but with a little resilience.A backing of 6-mm (14-in.) thick fiberboard is ideal as veryhard surfaces

Make ten passes in each direction (20passes total), 380 6 15 mm (15 612 in.) per pass, progres-sively moving sideways from one

Each pass should coincide with a beat of themetronome and the motion should be continuous, not jerky.Use the metronome for accurate timing since the speed of therolling of the notched spool roller through the paint film hasDimensionsin. mmA Flange thickness 0.

Grading Procedure9.1 Carefully cut an area 190 by 240 mm (7.5 by 9.5 in.) outof the fro
29、nt edge (edge nearest the paint) of the spatter catchpaper. The shorter side will be the front edge. Center the areawith respect to the spatter so a maximum of spatter is on thissheet (Fig. 4).9.2 Compare the cut-out area to the pictorial standards.Assign the rating that most closely matches a stand

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 no
36、rmallybetter than interlaboratory precision. However, when rating 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 perfe

This might not occur if some paints with lessdistinct differences 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 d
