16、and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.14. Summary of Test Method4.1 The user supplies a standard base and a standardcolorant. A standard sample is prepared from these ingredientsby a predetermined formula that will achieve a target ref

17、lec-tance. A test sample is made using the same formula by mixingthe material being tested with the appropriate standard materialdepending upon whether the material under test is a colorant ora base.4.2 The standard sample and the test sample are drawndown side by side on a black-and-white test char

18、t.4.3 The drawdown is dried by appropriate means, and thespectral reflectance factor of each standard and sample aremeasured on a spectrophotometer.4.4 A value is selected, or calculated, from among thespectrophotometric reflection functions to represent the relativereflection factors of each of the

19、 two specimens.4.5 These two values are converted by calculation to opticalparameters, K-over-S, where K is the Kubelka-Munk absorp-tion coefficient and S the Kubelka-Munk scattering coefficient.These values are appropriately put in ratio with each other andmultiplied by 100 to achieve the test valu

20、e, relative strength inpercent of the standard value. The ratio assumes that the opticalparameters are directly, linearly proportional to the relativeconcentration of the dispersed media in the range of concen-tration used in the test.5. Significance and Use5.1 The test method results are suitable f

21、or use by manu-facturers of colorants and bases for quality control purposes onmanufactured product.5.2 The test method results are suitable for use by purchas-ers of colorants and bases for incoming quality control or thedetermination of money value of colorants and bases.6. Interferences6.1 Differ

22、ences between the standard and the test materialsin the following properties may be interpreted by the testmethod as a strength difference and thus comprise an interfer-ence with the test: color difference between the standardspecimen and the test specimen in the hue or chromadirections, gloss diffe

23、rence, metamerism, measurement geom-etry differences, hiding differences, and flocculation differ-ences.6.2 The presence of any one or more of these interferencescould invalidate the test results.7.

The applicators shall be capable ofapplying 200 and 300 m 8 and 12 mils wet film or ot

25、her wetfilm thickness as appropriate. Bird type bars are usuallymarked with values that are half these dimensions and sowould be marked 100 and 150 m 4 and 6 mils, respectively.Under some circumstances, drawdown bars with other clear-ances may be appropriately used.7.5 Apparatus to hold the drawdown

26、 chart in place while thedrawdown is made and this may consist of a glass plate or avacuum plate to hold the drawdown flat on a smooth and levelsurface.7.6 Spectrophotometer, Spectrometer, or Colorimeter.8. Reagents and Materials8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests

27、. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsuffici

28、ently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.8.2 Users are responsible for providing standard strengthwhite base and standard strength colorants for each colorant orbase put under test. These materials will have to be replacedwhen they are depleted, and spec

29、ial care shall be taken that thereplacement materials have exact continuity of strength withthe materials they are replacing.9. Calibration and Standardization9.1 Verify the calibration of the weight per gallon cup atleast once each month in accordance with the instructions fordoing so in accordance

30、 with Test Method D1475.9.2 Verify the calibration of the spectrophotometer at leastonce each month in accordance with Practice E1164 in whichthis process is called standardization and verification.10. Conditioning10.1 Assure that all materials have been shaken on a paintshaker for at least 2 min on

31、 the day on which they will be used.10.2 The viscosity ranges of most materials within the scopeof this test method are such that the vigorous shaking necessaryto homogenization of the materials causes air to be entrappedin the liquid. As part of the sample conditioning, users shallemploy at least o

32、ne of the three methods given in Test MethodD1475 for the removal of air from the sample. The methods arecentrifugation, vacuum deaeration, and reduction of viscositywith solvent, including water if applicable.
