Terminology2.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:2.1.1 dry film thickness, nthat layer of thickness

7、 of driedcoating above the microscopically visible board surface thatalso comprises attached fibers but excludes free fibers that areencapsulated in the layer itself.2.1.2 edge face, nthat part of the specimen that is a planeperpendicular to the surface showing a cross section of thecoating and subs

8、trate.2.1.3 soak in, nrefers to a coating on a porous substratewhere the coating does not lie essentially on the surface of thewood or wood-based product, but has penetrated into the fiberstructure of the wood or wood-based material.2.1.3.1 DiscussionWood or wood-based products are gen-erally of a p

9、orous nature; sometimes exhibiting uniformabsorption of coatings. Frequently absorption of coatings is ofa nonuniform nature and influenced by localized surfacedensity differences or wood pore size. These conditions ofcoating absorption are commonly referred to as soak in.3. Summary of Test Method3.

10、1 A specimen of coated wood or wood-based product iscut to convenient size and edge polished with sandpaper.3.2 The polished edge of the specimen is viewed through acalibrated microscope in order to measure dry film thickness.3.3 Suggestions regarding interpretation of dry film thick-ness on porous

13、oducts.4.3 The average dry film thickness of coatings on wood orwood-based material may be used by manufacturing compa-nies to calculate theoretical cost of applied coatings. Bycomparison with actual cost, utilization efficiency may becalculated.4.4 The ratio of peak to valley dry film thickness on

17、noptical system3providing sufficient resolution of 0.1-mil (2.54-m) dry film thickness. One system consisting of a 16-mmobjective and a 10-power filar micrometer eyepiece, resultingin a magnification of at least 100 diameters, has been foundsatisfactory. Other combinations of objectives and eyepiece

Procedure8.1 Specimen Preparation:8.1.1 Select the desired coated area of a wood or wood-based material that is to be measured for dry film thickness.With the cutoff saw,

22、cut off a sample at least 112 in. (38.1 mm)wide from this area.8.1.2 Cut this specimen to a length that is at least12 in. (12.7mm) less than the inside diameter of the mold to be used.8.1.3 Place the specimen, with the sample edge to bemeasured, face down and approximately centered in the mold.8.1.4

23、 Prepare the sanding adhesive according to the manu-facturers direction for use. A dispersed pigment may be addedto the adhesive for better microscopic contrast between the dryfilm and the adhesive.8.1.5 Pour the sanding adhesive around the sample in themold and allow to harden according to the manu

24、facturersdirections.8.1.6 Remove the mold from the hardened and encapsulatedspecimen edge.8.1.7 Using a disc sander, belt sander or 200-grit sandpapermounted on a glass plate, sand the edge face of the encapsu-lated specimen to be measured until the edge face is relativelysmooth. Maintain the edge f

25、ace of the specimen as flat aspossible during sanding. Avoid heat buildup of the sandingadhesive by intermittent sanding if necessary.8.1.8 Polish the edge face of the rough sanded specimen asfollows:8.1.8.1 Mount a piece of 600-grit sandpaper on a flat glassplate. Rub the edge face of the rough san

26、ded specimen over the600-grit sandpaper in one direction, then reverse direction by180 for several more rubs. Zinc stearate powder can besprinkled on the 600-grit sandpaper or the 600-grit sandpapercan be wetted with mineral oil to produce a highly polishededge face free of scratches.8.1.9 To improv

27、e the microscopic contrast between thecoating and the wood or wood-based product, wipe a light filmof mineral oil or automotive red transmission oil across thepolished edge face with a clean cotton rag or equivalent.8.1.10 Some coatings and substrates are hard enough thatencapsulation with a sanding

28、 adhesive is not necessary. Al-though in all cases, use of the encapsulating sanding adhesivewill lead to the sharpest microscopic edge face and the highestdegree of accuracy.8.1.11 Some laboratories find that a mold for the specimenencapsulation with sanding adhesive is not necessary. In thiscase t

29、wo specimens are prepared with the cut off saw. Thesanding adhesive after proper mixing is generously applied tothe coated face of each specimen, the specimens are placedtogether and a C-clamp is used to squeeze out some of thesanding adhesive. The C-clamp is not removed until thesanding adhesive ha
