Significance and Use5.1 Although this practice is intended for the collection ofdried paint samples in and around buildin
10、gs for the subsequentdetermination of lead content, this practice may also be used tocollect paint samples from other structures for lead analysis.35.2 The variability associated with the sampling of driedpaint is generally considered to be far higher than the variabil-ity associated with the analys
11、es of the paint specimens.Therefore, it is essential that sample collection be properlycontrolled to produce representative and meaningful samples.5.3 These samples are collected in a manner that will permitsubsequent digestion and determination of lead using labora-tory analysis techniques such as
12、Inductively Coupled PlasmaAtomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES) and Flame AtomicAbsorption Spectrometry (FAAS) (see Test Method E 1613),or using field analysis techniques such as anodic strippingvoltammetry (see Test Method E 2051).6.

Procedure7.1 General Comments:7.1.1 The ease of collecting dried paint samples is depen-dent on the condition of the paint and the type of substrate.Sample collection is more difficult on some su
23、bstrates thanothers. In general, collection of dried paint from brick, con-crete, and wood is more difficult than sampling from plaster,drywall, and metal.7.1.2 Cutting tools used for collecting dried paint from onesampling location may not be effective at other locations. Thus,on-site access to a v
24、ariety of paint collection tools is requiredto collect samples from a range of different substrates.7.1.3 Paint surfaces on and adjacent to sampling locationsshould be cleaned with a damp cloth if dusty or dirty prior tocollecting a sample.7.1.4 Sample collection requires four major steps: (1) mark-
25、ing the collection area, (2) setting up a paint collection tray, (3)removing the paint, and (4) transferring the collected sample tothe paint collection container. Each of these steps is describedas follows:7.2 Marking the Collection Area (See Note 4):NOTE 4If a coring tool removal procedure is to b
26、e used, go to 7.3.7.2.1 Template-Assisted Marking ProcedureCarefullyplace a clean sampling template on the paint surface at thesampling location. While manually holding the template firmlyin place, mark an outline of the area using an indelible markingpen or score (cut into the paint) an outline of
27、the area to besampled by pulling a razor knife or equivalent cutting toolalong the inside edge of the template. Remove the template andcarefully retrace the scored outline with the cutting tool,cutting down to the substrate. Clean the template with a cloth.7.2.2 Freehand Marking ProcedureUsing a rul
28、er, care-fully draw an outline of a rectangular sampling area on thepainted surface at the sampling location with an indeliblemarking pen. Determine the dimensions of the length andwidth of the outlined area to the nearest millimetre. Score anoutline of the sampling location by pulling a razor knife
29、 orequivalent cutting tool along the marked outline. Make asecond pass along the marked outline with the cutting tool,cutting down to the substrate. Clean the ruler with a cloth7.3 Setting Up a Paint Collection Tray (See 3.2.1):7.3.1 Use a sheet of letter-size white paper for making apaper funnel fo
30、r paint sample collection.7.3.1.1 In cases where the sampling location is too small toaccommodate a funnel made with a sheet of the letter-sizepaper, cut the paper to an appropriate smaller size.7.3.2 For Vertical SurfacesCenter a piece of tape alongone of the long edges of a clean sheet of white pa
31、per. The tapeshould be slightly shorter than the paper and placed so thatsufficient adhesive is available to firmly stick the paper to thepainted surface (see Note 5). Stick the paper directly below thelocation to be sampled with the taped edge closest to the scoredlocation. Pull the two lower corne
32、rs of the paper together andoverlap slightly to form a funnel. Use a piece of tape to securethe lower corners together. Fold the bottom of the newly madefunnel up and use a piece of tape to permanently close off thefunnel bottom. Be sure no sticky tape surfaces are exposed onthe inside of the closed
33、 bottom funnel. Tap the funnel to checkthat it will not come undone or come off the surface if jarredduring paint removal activities.NOTE 5Either masking or duct tape can be successfully used in mostlocations. However, for extremely dirty surfaces, the area where the tapeis to contact the painted su
34、rface may have to be cleaned to achieve goodadhesion. Use of a wet cloth followed by a dry paper towel can generallyproduce a sufficiently clean surface.7.3.3 For Horizontal Surfaces (Painted Surfaces FacingUp)Tape a clean sheet of white paper directly adjacent to thelocation to be sampled and make
35、a closed bottom funnel in thesame manner as described in 7.3.2.E17290527.3.4 For Overhead Horizontal Surfaces (Painted SurfacesFacing Down)Make a closed bottom funnel in the samemanner as described in 7.3.2. Affix the funnel to the paintedsurface so that it is directly under the location to be sampl
36、ed orattach the funnel it to a ladder or similar support structurebeneath the sample location.7.4 Removing the PaintRemove paint using the heat-gunmethod in 7.4.1, the cold scraping method in 7.4.2,orthecoring method in 7.4.3. See Appendix X1 for information onchoosing a method. Don plastic gloves a
37、s appropriate.7.4.1 Heat-Gun Method7.4.1.1 (CautionUse of a heat gun on painted surfacescauses release of organic vapors. Thus, this method shall not beperformed in areas occupied by persons not protected withappropriate respiratory protection).7.4.1.2 ProcedureUsing a heat gun, gently heat the scor
38、edpaint surface until the paint just starts to soften and blister. Donot overheat the paint. If the paint is scorched or discoloredduring heating, then too much heat has been applied and a newlocation must be selected and marked. Using a clean, rigidblade paint scraper or chisel, dig into one edge o
39、f the scoredarea and scrape the paint off (Note 6). Intermittent use of theheat gun during scraping will ease paint removal. Carefullyscrape away all the paint within the marked area down to thesubstrate and ensure that all the scraped paint lands in, or ispushed into, the paint collection tray. Min
40、imize inclusion ofsubstrate material (see Note 6). Dispose of any gloves usedafter completing collection of each sample.NOTE 6Removal of substrate must be minimized during paint collec-tion and complete collection of the paint from the substrate must bemaximized. Under ideal conditions, the collecte
41、d dried sample will haveno substrate and, after collection, the sampling location will be completelyfree of paint. When it is not possible to obtain a dried paint sample free ofsubstrate material, such as brick and concrete, include the minimumamount needed to completely remove the paint from the su
42、bstrate. Onwood substrates, scrape in the direction of the wood grain, not against it,to minimize inclusion of substrate in the collected sample.7.4.2 Cold-Scraping MethodUsing the appropriate cut-ting tool for a particular substrate or condition of the paintedsurface and sample location, begin remo
43、ving the paint from thesubstrate. If possible, peel the paint from the substrate bysliding the blade along the score and underneath the paint. Ifproblems are encountered in removing the paint sample, use ascraping tool, safety razor blade, or other equivalent tool to aidin paint removal (Note 6). Ca
44、refully scrape away all the paintwithin the marked area down to the substrate and ensure that allthe scraped paint lands in, or is pushed into, the paint collectiontray. Dispose of any gloves used after completing collection ofeach sample.7.4.3 Coring MethodPlace a piece of masking tape overthe samp
45、ling location (see Notes 7 and 8). Place the coring toolagainst the taped area and cut down into the paint down to thesubstrate using a circular motion (Note 6). Tip the coring toolslightly to one side to help break the paint sample core from thelocation. Carefully retract the coring tool. If the pa
46、int sample islodged inside the coring tool, push it into the paint collectiontray using an appropriate clean tool such as a stiff plastic rod.If the paint sample remains on the location scored by the coringtool, use an appropriate cutting tool to carefully scrape away allthe paint within the cored a
47、rea down to the substrate and ensurethat all the scraped paint lands in, or is pushed into, the paintcollection tray. Dispose of any gloves used after completing thecollection of each sample.NOTE 7The tape is used to hold the paint surface together duringcoring. It aids in avoiding breakup of the pa
48、int outside of the cored areaand reduces breakup of the collected sample.NOTE 8Use of masking tape on the painted surface to be sampled isinappropriate if it is intended to extract lead by ultrasonic extraction (UE)of the specimen after it has been manually ground.7.4.4 Cleaning Paint Collection Too
49、ls:7.4.4.1 Clean the coring tool with a bottle brush and cloth.7.4.4.2 Clean all other cutting tools used during paintcollection with a cloth.7.5 Transferring the Collected Sample to the Paint Collec-tion Container:7.5.1 Remove the paint collection tray from the samplinglocation, taking care to avoid sample spillage. Carefully tap allthe collected paint into the paint collection container. Seal thepaint collection container.7.5.1.1 Dispose of paint sampling trays made of paper in atrash bag.7.5.1.2 If a reusable paint collection tray is used, clean itthoroughly
