1、Designation: D 6410 99 (Reapproved 2009)Standard Test Method forDetermining Acidity of Vegetable Tanning Liquors1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6410; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o
2、f 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 method covers determining the acidity oftannery liquors made up from vegetable tanning materials.1.2 The v
3、alues stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard 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
4、safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 An analytical solution is prepared from the sample oftannery liquor (Practice D 6404). Specimen aliquots from thisanaly
6、tical solution are then analyzed for total acidity by one oftwo titrametric methods.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is used to determine one of thechemical properties of tannery liquors which are relevant forthe vegetable tanning process and influence the astringency ofvegetable tanning
7、liquors. The astringency of liquors is depen-dent upon the solids and tannin content and the acidity. Thistest method provides a standard procedure for determining thetotal acidity for any sample of vegetable tanning liquor.5.2 The specimens are aliquots from the analytical solutionprepared from the
8、 sample of tannery liquor collected for thispurpose.5.3 The total acidity of the liquor sample is determined byone of two titrametric procedures described in this test method.6. Apparatus and Reagents6.1 Analytical Solution:6.1.1 Flask, 1 L volumetric. ClassAflasks with a bulb in theneck (M.C.A. typ
9、e) are especially suitable for this work.6.1.2 Hydrometer, preferably with a Barkometer scale (thatis, a scale calibrated in Bk). The three digits to the right of thedecimal point on a standard specific gravity reading are equalto the Barkometer scale reading. That is, a sp.gr. of 1.200equals 200Bk
10、and a sp.gr. of 1.020 equals 20Bk.6.2 Acidity DeterminationMethod I:6.2.1 Graduated Cylinder, glass-stoppered, graduated tocontain 250 mL.6.2.2 Gelatin Solution, 1 %, neutral to bromocresol purple.The addition of 25 mL of 95 % ethyl alcohol per litre isrecommended to prevent frothing.
