3、f waterborne multi-component coatings using gas chromatography (see Note 1).1.2 The method has also been used successfully to deter-mine the speciated volatile organic content of solvent-bornemulti-component coatings. Work is continuing to develop thisaspect of the method and will be added to the me

16、mi-nation of weight percent VOC in the present method is by directmeasurement, either the water fraction (Test Method D3792 or TestMethod D4017) or the nonvolatile fraction (Test Method D2369) may bedetermined indirectly in the application of Practice D3960. Since preci-sion is better for the determ
17、ination of the nonvolatile content, this is thepreferred method for the indirect calculation of water content in thismethod. The equations for calculating regulatory VOC content when noexempt volatile compounds are present are:VOC 5fVOCDP!1 2 12 fNV2 fVOC!DPDW! #(1)orVOC 5fVOCDP!12 fWDPDW! #(2)where

19、sult MSDS and product data sheets forpossible information regarding solvents which may be present in aparticular coating.5. Significance and Use5.1 In using the methods of Practice D3960 to measure theVOC content of coatings, precision tends to be poor forwaterborne coatings because the VOC weight f
20、raction isdetermined indirectly. The present method first identifies andthen quantifies the individual VOCs directly. The total VOCweight fraction is obtained by adding the individual weightfraction values.6. Apparatus6.1 Gas Chromatograph, FID Detection with ElectronicData Acquisition SystemAny cap
