Summary of Test Method4.1 Asample of resin solution is weighed into a glass beakerthat is placed over a piece of 10 point print (standardnewspaper print).4.2 The diluti
8、on solvent is added slowly from a buret untilthe newsprint can no longer be read (cloud point) when viewedfrom the top of the beaker.4.3 The solvent dilutability is calculated by weight, orvolume.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means for resin producersand users as well as sol
9、vent and varnish manufacturers to ratevarious types of resins for solubility by assigning a numericaldilutability value. This percent dilutability value can be used todifferentiate resin types for end users and can be utilized as aquality control tool by resin manufacturers.5.2 When running a series

15、resin solution prepared in such a wayas to provide an accurate percent solids and to have sufficientclarity to allow accurate visual judgment of the cloud point.The solution must also have low enough viscosity at 25C toallow efficient mixing during the addition of the dilutionsolvent.7.2 Dilution So
16、lventThe dilution solvent for this test istypically, but not limited to, a hydrocarbon. The dilutionsolvent should have minimal loss by evaporation at roomtemperature, and be agreed upon between the purchaser and thesupplier.7.3 Standard Ink Oils.8. Procedure8.1 Preparation of Resin Solution:8.1.1 T
17、he resin solution may be prepared by either heatingthe resin/solvent combination as described in Test MethodD 1725, or dispersing using a high-speed mixer such as ablender. Please note results may vary dependent on method ofpreparation.8.1.2 The ratio of resin to solvent in the preparation shouldcor
18、respond as much as possible to the intended end use of thematerial, but should be chosen to avoid difficulty in effectingsolution at a low enough viscosity for efficient mixing duringdilution.8.1.3 The precision of weighing the resin and solvent shouldensure a maximum deviation of 61 % in the desire
19、d concen-tration. This percent solids must not be altered during resinsolution preparation by solvent loss.8.2 Determine the proper choice of beaker as follows:8.2.1 If no previous dilutability data is available for the testsample, start the test with a 150-mL glass beaker.8.2.2 If previous dilutabi
20、lity data indicates that the testsample is highly soluble, start the test with a 250-mL glassbeaker.8.3 Weigh the beaker with the magnetic stirrer bar or stirringrod. Record this tare weight as W1.8.4 Accurately weigh 10 6 0.1 g of the resin solution intothe beaker. Record this sample weight as W2.8
21、.5 Place the beaker in a 25C constant temperature bathuntil the resin solution reaches 25 6 1C as measured with thethermometer specified in 6.4.8.6 Prepare the dilution solvent by bringing it to a tempera-ture of 25 6 1C before adding it to the buret.8.7 Place the beaker over the piece of 10-point p
22、rint andbegin adding solvent slowly (5 to 6 mL/min) while stirring.Ensure that the sample temperature remains at 25 6 1C,which may require periodic return of the beaker to the waterbath. If the sample has started to form a haze it should not bereturned to the water bath.8.8 Observe the 10-point prin
23、t from the top of the beakerlooking through the solution.8.9 If the resin solution begins to cloud, add solvent slowlyone drop at a time while continuing to mix. Do not return thesample to the water bath at this point. If more than 100 g isrequired for the solution to begin to cloud, repeat the test

Precision11.1 An interlaboratory
29、 study was conducted in which oneoperator in each of eight laboratories determined the percentdilutability of two common resin solutions and two dilutionsolvents completed in duplicate on two different days. Thepooled within-laboratory standard deviation was found to be3.25 % of the value measured w
30、ith 12 df. The between-laboratory standard deviation was 7.63 % of the value mea-sured with 28 df. Based on these standard deviations, thefollowing criteria should be used for judging the acceptabilityof results at the 95 % confidence level.11.2 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of duplicatede
31、terminations, obtained by the same operator should beconsidered suspect if they differ by more than 9.19 % of thevalue measured.11.3 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate determinations obtained by operators in different labora-tories, should be considered suspect if they differ by
