1、Designation: D6013 00 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forDetermination of Area Stability of Leather to Laundering1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6013; 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 () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method2covers the determination of launder-ability of dyed leathers with or without a pigment finish
3、. Thistest method does not apply to wet blue.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is therespons
4、ibility 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. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D1610 Practice for Conditioning Leather and Leather Prod-ucts for Testing3. Significance and U
5、se3.1 The procedure is primarily intended to evaluate theability of a leather specimen to withstand fixed, and ratherstrenuous, laundering conditions. This test method is notintended as a recommended washing procedure, neither house-hold nor commercial. The resulting area stability is determined.4.
6、Apparatus44.1 Washing MachineALaunder-Ometer,5or an assemblyof apparatus capable of similar test conditions (see Note). Ineither machine, 1-pt (500-mL) specimen containers are heldwith their bases toward a horizontal shaft and 2 in. (50 mm) outfrom its center of rotation. Speed of rotation shall be
7、40 to 45rpm. Provision shall be made for maintaining the initialtemperature of the specimen containers throughout the test.Additional agitation shall be provided by14-in. (6.4-mm)stainless steel balls in the specimen containers. Apparatus isillustrated in Figs. 1-3.NOTE 1A motor-driven assembly, des
8、igned to hold 1-pt (500-mL)specimen containers so that they are relative to the axis of the motor shaftin the same way as in the Launder-Ometer, can be used.5The entireassembly, fitted with specimen containers, shall be turned at 40 to 45 rpminside a simple boxlike container which is heated at 120F
9、(49C) withthermostatic control. Thus, heat loss from the preheated contents of thespecimen containers is held at a minimum during the 30-min washingperiods. Such an apparatus is illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5.4.2 Stainless Steel Balls, type 316,14 in. (6 mm) diameter.4.3 Steel or Glass Jar, 1 pt (0.5

Test Specimen5.1 The specimen shall be a square of leather 2.0 by 2.0 in.(51 by 51 mm) cut from the sample unit of leather. Threespecimens from each sample unit shall be tested.6. Procedure6.1 Unless otherwise specified
18、, perform this test in accor-dance with standard atmospheric conditions (see PracticeD1610). Weigh the conditioned samples to the nearest 0.1 g.6.2 Make two measurements of each dimension of thespecimen and average them. Make the measurements 13 mm infrom the edges of the specimen. Indelibly mark th
19、e grainsurface of the specimen to indicate the points of measurement.Use the average measurement to determine the original area ofthe specimen, and record this area as A. (The known dimen-sions of the die may be used instead of actually measuring thespecimen. When this option is taken, the specimen
20、shall still beindelibly marked at the points of measurement indicatedabove.)6.3 Add three specimens and twenty stainless steel balls toa 1-pt jar together with 150 mL of a soap solution that has beenpreheated to 120 6 2F (49 6 1C).6.4 Seal the jars and clamp them into the rotor of a washingmachine.
21、Run the apparatus at 40 to 45 rpm for 30 min at 1206 2F (49 6 1C).6.5 Remove the jars and pour the soap solution from the jarsthrough a sieve to avoid losing the steel balls and specimens.Then place the specimens flesh side down on a pad consistingof two 10 by 10-in. (25.4 by 25.4-cm) blotting paper
22、s, andcover them with a pad of two additional blotting papers of thesame type. Place a non-absorbent flat rigid plate large enoughto cover the blotters on the cover blotter. If necessary, place aweight on the plate so as to subject the specimens to a 10 g/cm2load for 5 min. At the end of this period
23、, remove the load andtransfer the specimens to the pint container previously filledwith water preheated to 120 6 2F (49 6 1C). The volume ofwater in millilitres shall be approximately 20 times the initialweight of the conditioned specimens in grams.6.6 Seal, clamp, and rotate jars for 30 min in wash
24、ingmachine. Remove the water and squeeze the specimens byhand and spread next to each other on a flat noncorrosive rigidplate. No specimen shall be closer than12 in. (12.7 mm) to theothers.6.7 Place the plate with specimens in a pre-heated circulat-ing air oven for 30 min at 120 6 2F (49 6 1C). At t
25、he endof 30 min, return the dried specimens to the pint jars, 3specimens per jar, together with the steel balls and 100 mL ofthe soap solution preheated to 120 6 2F (49 6 1C). Repeatthe entire procedure again. After the specimens have beenremoved from the oven the second time, return them to the pin
26、tjars, 3 specimens per jar, together with the steel balls and 50mL of the soap solution preheated to 120 6 2F (496 1C).Repeat the entire procedure a third time, except do not squeezethe specimens by hand or dried in the oven, after being tumbledin the pre-heated water. Instead, the specimens shall b

Take two measurements inthe other dimension, average them, and record the average asC. The measurement
28、s will be made at the indelibly markedpoints of measurement described in 6.2. The averages shall becalculated to the nearest 0.02 in. (0.1 mm).
