Also, quantitatively, tannins are operationally defined asthe non-volatile materials present in tannin extracts and raw orspent materials that are dissolved or suspended in water, arepart of the soluble solids determined by Test Method D 6402,and do react with or bind to hide powder when mixed as

Summary of Test Method4.1 An analytical solution is prepared f
9、rom the sample oftannery liquor (Practice D 6404). Specimen aliquots from thisanalytical solution are then analyzed for total solids (TestMethod D 4903), soluble solids and insolubles (Test MethodD 6402), non-tannins and tannin (Test Method D 6401), andtotal acidity (Test Method D 6410).5. Significa
10、nce and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine the chemicalproperties of tannery liquors which are relevant for thevegetable tanning process and influence the astringency ofvegetable tanning liquors. The astringency of liquors is depen-dent upon the solids and tannin content and the acidity. T
11、hismethod provides a standard procedure for determining theseproperties for any sample of vegetable tanning liquor.5.2 The specimens are aliquots from the analytical solutionprepared from the sample of tannery liquor collected for thispurpose.5.3 The total solids, soluble solids, and non-tannins con
12、tentare determined and then the tannin content of the liquor sampleis calculated. Because the amount of tannin per liter ofanalytical solution is less than that required for Test Method1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D31 on Leatherand is the direct responsibility of Sub
13、committee D31.01 . This test method has beenadapted from and is a replacement for Method A25 of the Official Methods of theAmerican Leather Chemists Association.Current edition approved April 1, 2009. Published July 2009. Originallyapproved in 1999. Last previous edition approved in 2004 as D 6408 9

ClassAflasks with a bulb in theneck (M.C.A. type) are especially suitable for this work.6.1.2 Hydrometer, preferably with a Barkometer scale (i.e. ascale calibrated in Bk). The three digits to the right of thedecimal point
