Each of the two samples shall be cut into very small pieces and placed i
24、nto separate test tubes. The samples shall be submersed in a stannous chloride solution that contains 100 grams of stannous chloride crystals ACS in 100 milliliters of hydrochloric acid ACS (35 percent concentration) and 50 milliliters of distilled water. A filter paper wet out with a 5.0 percent le
25、ad acetate solution shall be placed over top of the test tube. The lead acetate solution contains 5.0 grams of lead acetate CP reagent grade and enough distilled water to make up a 100 milliliters solution; if the solution is not clear, add a few drops (one at a time) of glacial acetic acid until th
26、e solution is clear. The test tube containing the textile sample, stannous chloride and wet filter paper shall be heated over a low flame until the solution is boiling. The solution should not be heated for more than 15 seconds. A brown to black stain on the filter paper should be evaluated as follo
27、ws: Free the filter paper shows no discoloration or staining of any kind. Slight The filter paper shows a light tan to light brown discoloration stain. Moderate The filter paper shows a dark brown discoloration stain. Severe The filter paper shows a black color stain. Table II - Coated Cloth Physica
