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.
4、 It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles

Summary of Test Method3.1 A0.25 mL sample is react
7、ed with a specially formulatedcalcium hydride reagent to convert water in the sample tohydrogen gas. The reaction is carried out in a sealed pressurevessel and the resulting pressure is then measured using aspecially designed meter programmed to convert gas pressureinto water content. The results ar
8、e displayed in milligrams ofwater in the reacted sample extract. The actual weight percentwater in the whole paint sample is manually calculated usingthe exact weights of the paint sample and the diluted extractsample, if used.4. Significance and Use4.1 Although Test Method D4017 is widely used for
9、thedetermination of water in paints and related materials, thismethod may overcome some of the variability found in theKarl Fischer method.4.2 Control of water content is often important in control-ling the performance of paints, and it is critical in determiningvolatile organic compound (VOC) conte
10、nt when VOC contentis measured by difference from total volatile matter and watercontent as required in certain federal and state regulations.5.

Sampling, Test Specimens, and Test Units9.1 Sample CollectionTake a representative sample of theliquid coatings in accordance with Practice D3925. Mixthoroughly before taking specimens for individual tests.10. Preparation1
24、0.1 PreparationRemove a sampling syringe with capand a test tube from the kit box. Check the contents to ensurethat all items are present and intact. If a dilution is to be used,remove a dilution vial and an additional sampling syringe andcap. Remove the screw cap and rubber septum from the tubeand
25、the cap from the dilution vial, if used. Insert one greenwater ampule into the top of the polypropylene ampule sleeveand replace the holder in the tube.11. Calibration and Standardization11.1 The commercially available meter is calibrated at thefactory over the pressure range of 0 to 60 psig. Each t
26、ime themeter is turned on, the pressure transducer recalibrates the 0psig point. If this changes significantly from the factory setpoint, an error message will be displayed. This error will alsoappear if a tube is accidentally inserted into the meter beforethe meter is turned on.12. Procedure12.1 Sa
27、mple Introduction for Expected Water Content LessThan 15 % (No Dilution)Work the plunger on an emptysampling syringe a few times to ensure that it slides easily.Place the tip of the syringe into the paint sample to be testedand slowly pull back on the plunger until it reaches the stop andcannot be p

Cap thesyringe with the cap provided and weigh; record the weight(gross sample weight) to the nearest 0.1 mg. Dispense thesample into the reaction
29、 tube. Recap the syringe withoutwiping, reweigh it, and record this weight (sample tare weight).The difference in the two weights becomes the sample weight(S1) to be used in Eq 1. Replace the rubber septum (hole ontop) by gripping the tube firmly and pressing the septum downwith the thumb. (NOTE: Do
30、 not squeeze the sides of the tubewhile inserting the septum.) Replace the screw cap tightly,turning it until it cannot be turned further.

The mixture willbe seen to bubble and perhaps foam. Allow the reaction toproceed for 2 minutes. Shake the reaction tube again
40、for 10seconds and let stand for an additional 1 minute.12.4 AnalysisEnsure the meter is set for the correctprogram for determining water in paint and that the meter isready for measurement. Insert the reaction tube firmly into theopening at the bottom of the meter. The hole in the white capmust be l
41、ined up with the metal pin extending from the insideof the hole in the meter. Press the “READ” button on the faceof the meter. The display will flash the word “CALC,” then theresults will be displayed in milligrams of water in the sample.Record the results. Keep the meter and tube upright at all tim

Tube and cap must be upright and pointed awayfrom user and bystanders. Tap the tube on the bench top toshake any loose glass to the bottom of the tube, then break thetop
