1、Designation: C872 10Standard Test Method forLead and Cadmium Release from Porcelain EnamelSurfaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C872; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis test method covers the precise determination of lead or cadmium extracted by acetic acid fromporcelain enamel surfaces. The pro
3、cedure of extraction may be expected to accelerate the release oflead or cadmium and to serve, therefore, as a severe test that is unlikely to be matched under actualconditions of usage.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the precise determination oflead and cadmium extracted by acetic acid from por
4、celainenamel surfaces.1.2 Values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. Inch-pound units are given for information only.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 est

Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C738 Test Method for Lead and Cadmium Extracted fromGlazed Ceramic SurfacesD1193 Specification for Reagent Water3. Summary of Test Method
6、3.1 The lead and cadmium extracted from the article undertest by acetic acid at 20 to 24C (68 to 75F) after 24 h ofleaching are measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometryusing a specific hollow cathode lamp for lead and cadmiumrespectively.4. Significance and Use4.1 The determination of lead an
7、d cadmium release fromporcelain enamel surfaces was formerly of interest only tomanufacturers of porcelain enamel cookware and similar foodservice products. Food contact surfaces of these container-typeproducts have been evaluated using a test procedure similar toTest Method C738. Recently, however,
8、 there has been a need tomeasure lead and cadmium release from flat or curved porce-lain enamel surfaces that are not capable of being evaluated bya test similar to Test Method C738.5. Interferences5.1 Since a specific hollow cathode lamp for lead andcadmium is used, there are no interferences.6. Ap

Samples8.1 Test SpecimensSpecimens may be cut from produc-tion parts or may be prepared on metal blanks under productionconditions. Tests may be made on finished parts where flathorizontal surfaces are available.8.2
22、 SizeThe size of the test area shall be approximately 26cm2(4 in.2).9. Procedure9.1 Preparation of SampleTake, at random, three identi-cal units and cleanse each with the detergent rinse. Then rinsewith tap water followed by distilled water. Dry the specimensand fit into a suitable test cell similar
23、 to that shown in Fig. 1,or place a weighted cell onto a flat surface of a production part.Fill each unit with 4 % acetic acid, with a maximum of 40 mLfor each 6.45 cm2(1 in.2) of exposed surface. Record thevolume of acid for each unit in the sample. Cover each unitwith clear, colorless glass plate
24、to prevent evaporation of thesolution, avoiding contact between the cover and surface of theleaching solution, and expose to normal laboratory light for 8to 10 h during the leaching period. Let the solution stand for 24h at room temperature (20 to 24C (68 to 75F).9.2 Preparation of Standards:9.2.1 L

26、trations of 0.0, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2.0 gCd/mL.9.3 Determination of Lead by Atomic AbsorptionStir thesample (leaching) solution and pour off a portion into a cleanflask. Using the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (6.1) andhollow cathode lamp (6.2), concomitantly determine the ab-sorbance of th
27、e lead working standards (9.2.1) and sample(leaching) solutions, diluting the latter with 4 % acetic acid ifrequired (if solution contains over 20 mg/L). Concentratesamples containing less than 1 ppm lead by accurately trans-ferring a minimum of 50.0 mL of solution to a 250-mL beakerand evaporating
28、to dryness on a steam bath. Dissolve theresidue in 4 % acetic acid by adding exactly 0.1 volume ofsolution taken for concentration, cover with a watch glass, andswirl to complete dissolution. Prepare a standard curve ofabsorbance versus concentration (mg/L). Determine the leadcontent (mg Pb/L) of sa
29、mple (leaching) solution from thestandard curve.NOTE 3If a digital concentration readout is used, the standard curveis not necessary. However, standards bracketing the solution under testshould be used.9.4 Determination of Cadmium by Atomic AbsorptionSpectrophotometryProceed as in 9.3 using the cadm
30、iumhollow-cathode lamp (see 6.3) and cadmium standards (see9.2.2). If the sample (leaching) solutions contain more than 2mg Cd/L, dilute with 4 % acetic acid. Concentrate samplescontaining less than 0.1 mg/L as in 9.3.10. Report10.1 Report the type of units tested, the volume of acidused, and the le
31、ad and cadmium, respectively, leached inmicrograms per millilitre for each unit tested.NOTE 4As indicated in Section 1, this procedure covers the extractionand measurement of lead and cadmium. It is general in that it does notrecommend specific sample unit types. For special end uses, as forexample,
32、 process control or interlaboratory testing, a specific size and typeof sample unit should be used.11. Precision and Bias11.1 Precision of the analytical method for a single ormultiple operator within a single laboratory is within thesensitivity of the atomic absorption spectrophotometer.11.2 The pr
33、ecision and bias between laboratories is depen-dent upon the ability to obtain representative samples of thestatistical universe being sampled.5A suitable detergent is Calgonite, manufactured by the Calgon Corp., Box1436, Pittsburgh, PA 15230, and is available in most supermarkets.C872 103ASTM Inter
