1、Designation: D 5150 92 (Reapproved 2003)Standard Test Method forHiding Power of Architectural Paints Applied by Roller1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5150; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、year of last revision. 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 measures the ability of a paint to hideor obscure a surface to which it has been applied by
3、a practicalapplication procedure. This test method covers the use of apaint roller, but the concept is expected to work equally wellwhen the application tool is a paint brush or paint pad.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 hiding powern, the ability of a paint or paintmaterial as used to hide or obscure a surface to which it hasbeen uniformly applied (see Terminology D16).4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The test paint is applied with a roller at a specifiedspreading rate onto
8、 a test chart consisting of a series of light todark grey stripes. After drying, a second coat is applied in thesame manner over half of the chart. After the second coat hasdried, both the single- and double-coated areas are evaluatedfor hiding as judged by the darkest stripe in each area that iscom
9、pletely or almost completely obscured.5. Significance and Use5.1 Laboratory hiding power measurements of architecturalcoatings generally employ blade-type applicators that lay downfilms of highly uniform thickness. But practical applicators,such as rollers, pads, and brushes, typically apply films t
10、hatlack uniformity due to incomplete leveling, resulting in thepractical hiding power of most paints being less than thatmeasured on films applied with a drawdown blade. This testmethod simulates practical application procedures and condi-tions so as to provide an indication of the actual hidingperf
11、ormance obtainable when a paint is applied by an experi-enced worker. It is not intended to duplicate painting as doneby the average consumer.5.2 Since the rheological characteristics of a paint and itsinteraction with the applicator are influencing factors, rankorder correlation between this test a

Procedure9.1 Determine the weight/gallon of each paint being testedto 0.1 lb in accordance with Test Method D 1475.NOTE 1The gallon unit referred to in this test method is the U.S.Gallon.9.2 Use the following equation to determine the amount ofpaint required

20、oducer and user. A spreading rate of 450 ft2/gal (11.0 m2/L)is suggested if there is no other preference. Include spreadingrate(s) used in the report.9.3 At a convenient height, tape a test chart with the longdirection horizontal, to a surface that is vertical or within 5 ofvertical (top sloping awa
21、y from the operator). The tape shouldbe placed on the vertical, numbered border stripes that areoutside the 6 ft2(5575 cm2) test area of the chart.9.4 Prepare the paint roller for use in the test by thefollowing procedure:9.4.1 Load the roller cover with paint from the tray byrolling it through pain
22、t so that just the nap is submersed (seeFig. 2).9.4.2 Roll out the loaded cover onto a scrap surface, in anupward and downward motion, within an area no larger than1-ft (0.3-m) high by the 3-in. (75-mm) width of the rollercover.9.4.3 Reload the roller cover and roll it out again in the samemanner as
23、 9.4.2 and over the same area. Do not increase thearea except as necessary to control excess dripping of paint.9.4.4 Repeat the procedure as necessary until the followingconditions are met:9.4.4.1 Reloading the paint roller cover does not result inincreased paint pickup.9.4.4.2 There is so much pain
24、t on the surface being used thatthe fully-loaded paint roller cover cannot transfer any morepaint to the surface.9.4.5 Now immediately perform the test.9.5 Load the roller cover fully, just short of dripping andweigh. Either weigh the paint and roller before and after, or thepaint and reservoir befo
25、re and after. Do not weigh the paint onthe chart, as even minimal evaporation results in significantinaccuracies. Apply to a small area of the left half of the chart,just to deposit the excess paint. Repeat this step as needed sothat enough paint is on the chart for the desired spreading rateas calc
26、ulated in 9.2. Use the roller to evenly spread the paintover the left half of the chart, reweighing to determine if thepaint applied is within 65 % of that desired. If not, add orremove paint as needed with the roller cover. Do this as quicklyas possible to minimize the evaporation of volatiles. For
27、 thisreason, only one adjustment is permitted and the paint out mustbe completed within 3 min.9.6 Repeat 9.5 on the right half of the chart. Leave the chartin the (near) vertical position until the paint is dry to the touch.3The sole source of supply of the chart, Leneta Form Cu-1 known to thecommit

Precision11.1 PrecisionIn an interlaboratory study of this testmethod, one operator in each of five laboratories applied oneand two coats of six paints varying widel

The pooled standard deviation forboth single and double-coat app
