1、Designation: D 4907 00 (Reapproved 2005)Standard Test Method forNitrocellulose in Finish on Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 4907; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisi
2、on. 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 is intended for use in identifyingnitrocellulose in the finish on all types of leathers. This testmethod does n

Apparatus3.1 Borosilicate Glass Watch Glass, 100 mm diameter.3.2 Reagent Bottles, two, (4 fl oz each) equipp
5、ed with glassjoint dropping pipet.4. Reagents4.1 Indicator solution prepared by dissolving 0.1 g diphe-nylamine in solution containing 100 mL of sulfuric acid and 30mL of distilled water.4.2 Blank solution comprising 100 mL of sulfuric acid and30 mL of distilled water.4.3 Acetone, C.P.5. Test Specim
6、en5.1 The test specimen shall be approximately 1 cm2of thefinished leather.6. Procedure6.1 Place the test specimen in the watch glass with the finishside up. Apply one or 2 mL of indicator solution on the finishand allow to run over the side of the leather on to the watchglass. After 3 min, if the i
7、ndicator solution does not develop adark blue color, then nitrocellulose is not present in the finish.If the indicator solution develops a dark blue color after contactwith the finish, it indicates the presence of nitrocellulose or hasdeveloped color from colored finish components, or both.6.2 Repea
8、t the above procedure except that the blanksolution is employed instead of the indicator solution. If a darkblue color does not develop, whereas it does when the indicatorsolution is applied, then nitrocellulose is present in the finishand colored finishing materials do not interfere.6.3 If colored
9、finish material develops a dark blue color inthe presence of the blank solution, then place the specimenfinish side up in a watch glass and pour acetone on thespecimen, until completely covered, for dissolving any nitro-cellulose present in the specimen. After allowing the specimento soak in acetone
10、 for approximately 2 min, remove thespecimen from the watch glass and the evaporate acetone in thewatch glass on the steam oven to dryness. When cooled toroom temperature, place a few drops of indicator solution onone side of the watch glass near the rim and allow the drops torun downward. At anothe
11、r location on the watch glass, place afew drops of blank solution near the rim and allow to rundownward. If nitrocellulose is present in the finish, a dark bluecolor will develop as the indicator solution runs downward intothe watch glass whereas the blank solution will not show anycolor development
12、.7. Report7.1 The indicator method for testing the presence of nitro-cellulose in finish on the leather shall be reported as positive ornegative.8. Precision and Bias8.1 This test method is adopted from the procedures of theAmerican Leather Chemists Association where it has been inuse and where it w
