4、andard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Terminology2.1 Definiti
5、ons:2.1.1 specific resistance (resistivity)The ratio of the d-cpotential gradient in volts per centimeter paralleling the currentflow within the specimen to the current density in amperes persquare centimeter at a given instant of time and underprescribed conditions.2.1.1.1 DiscussionThis is numeric
6、ally equal to the resis-tance between opposite faces of a centimeter cube of the liquid.The units are ohm centimeters (or megohm centimeters).2.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.2.1 kilohms (KV)resistance value equal to 1000 V(103).2.2.2 megohms (MV)resistance value equal to 1 000 0
7、00V (106).2.2.3 ohm-centimeters (or megohm-centimeters)unit ofspecific resistance (resistivity).3. Summary of Test Methods3.1 Test Methods A and B measure direct current throughconcentric cylinder electrodes immersed in a liquid paintspecimen.4. Significance and Use4.1 These tests are suitable for t
8、esting paints adjusted forcompatibility with various electrostatic spray coating applica-tions, and by their use, spray performance can be optimized.5. Interferences5.1 Contamination of the specimen is the most likely causeof error. Very small amounts of water, acids, or polar solventswill lower the
9、 resistance of high resistivity solvents and paints.5.2 High humidity is not known to interfere with the testitself but can lead to water pickup by the specimen. Forrepeatable results, tests should be made under the sameatmospheric conditions and specimens should be stored andhandled so as to keep w
10、ater pickup to a minimum.5.3 Resistivity varies with temperature. A standard testtemperature of 25C is recommended. Other temperatures arepossible on agreement between the producer and the user.5.4 Electrification time must be the same for every test dueto ion migrations that cause current flow to d
11、ecrease with time.Variations with time of electrification can result in appreciablevariation in the test results.5.5 Equipment outlined in Test Methods A and B applydifferent test voltages (45 V and 15 V, respectively).

Precision and Bias14.1 PrecisionThe precision estimates are based on aninterlaboratory study in which one oper
30、ator in each of sevendifferent laboratories (five using the first tester2, two the secondtester)3measured the resistivity in duplicate on two differentdays for three solvent specimens ranging in resistivity from 40to 818 MV-cm (0.36.2 MV resistance). The within-laboratorycoefficient of variation was
31、 found to be 4.0 % with 16 df andthe between-laboratory coefficient of variation 23.0 % with 13df. Based on these coefficients, the following criteria should beused for judging the acceptability of results at the 95 %confidence level.14.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate deter
32、minations, obtained by the same operator on differentdays should be considered suspect if they differ by more than12 % relative.14.1.2 ReproducibilityTwo results, each the mean of du-plicate determinations, obtained by operators in different labo-ratories should be considered suspect if they differ
33、by morethan 70 % relative.14.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for the procedures in these testmethods, bias has not been determined.15.

TESTING THE PROBE (CELL CONSTANT DETERMINATION)X1.1 These cells depend on concentricity of the inner andouter section for accuracy and repeatability. The cell constantmay be tested by the followin
35、g method. Both cells haveidentical cell constants by design, so may be tested in samemanner. The main reason for doing this is to determine whetherthe cell is in good condition, clean, and operating properly. Ifthe cell is dirty or damaged, it will not give the correct cellconstant.X1.2 Obtain a sta
36、ndard solution of approximately 1000V/cm.5X1.3 Measure the resistance of the standard solution (inohms) using the probe and an ohmmeter with full scale readingof about 25 V, since the test meters normally used in thesemethods are not suitable for measuring this low value ofresistance.X1.4 The cell c
37、onstant may be found by substituting in thefollowing equation:K 5 P/R (X1.1)where:K = the cell constant in cm,P = the resistance in MV-cm, andR = the resistance in MV.X1.5 This value is typically 132, but may vary slightlybecause of manufacturing tolerances, or slight damage while inuse. If the cell
38、 constant is 133, reclean the cell andrecheck the constant. If it is still outside the range 128 to 133,then the outer sleeve probably has been damaged and must bereplaced.5Test solutions may be obtained from chemical supply companies such asAmerican Scientific Products, 1210 Waukegan Road, McGraw P
