1、Designation: D6076 18Standard Test Method forShrinkage Temperature of Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6076; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenth

2、eses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the shrink-age temper

3、ature of all types of leather. The heating medium iswater when the shrinkage temperature is at or below 98C. Theheating medium is a glycerine-water solution when the shrink-age temperature is above 98C.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parenthes

4、es are for informationonly.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 establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulato

Summary of Test Method4.1 A leather specimen is thoroughly soaked in the aqueousmedium that will be used to heat the spe

8、cimen for this testmethod. This specimen is then fastened between two clamps(one fixed and one movable) and immersed in the aqueousmedium (see Fig. 1). The aqueous medium is gradually heateduntil the specified temperature is reached without shrinkage oruntil shrinkage is indicated by a deflection of

9、 the dial needlewhich is attached to the movable clamp.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to determine the tempera-ture at which a thoroughly wetted leather specimen experiencesshrinkage. In this test method, shrinkage occurs as a result ofhydrothermal denaturation of the collag

10、en protein moleculeswhich make up the fiber structure of the leather. The shrinkagetemperature of leather is influenced by many different factors,most of which appear to affect the number and nature ofcrosslinking interactions between adjacent polypeptide chainsof the collagen protein molecules. The

11、 value of the shrinkagetemperature of leather is commonly used as an indicator of thetype of tannage or the degree of tannage, or both, of thatparticular leather (especially for the more hydrothermallystable tannages such as chrome tannage).6.

Place more than 15

32、 specimens in a 1Lsuction flask containing approximately 300 mL of the requiredheating medium at room temperature. Stopper the flask andapply a vacuum for 15 to 60 s and then release for 15 to 60 s.Continue an intermittent vacuum until all the specimens settleto the bottom of the flask. Gently shake

33、 the flask each time thevacuum is released to prevent specimens that are ready to sinkfrom being entangled with other specimens. One hour after thelast release of vacuum, remove the first specimen from theflask and mount in the shrinkage meter. Keep the otherspecimens in the flask (containing the he

34、ating medium) untiltested. The time from when the first specimen is removed fromthe suction flask and the testing of the last specimen iscompleted shall not exceed 6 h.9.4 Fasten the specimen in the two clamps of the shrinkagemeter and completely immerse in the heating medium, whichhas been preheate

35、d to 50 6 5C. Adjust the indicator to areference point on the dial by taking the slack out of thespecimen. If the specimen should lengthen before it contractsas the temperature of the heating medium is increased at a rateof 3 to 5C/min, the reference point at which the indicatorcomes to rest shall b

36、e the new reference point for observingshrinkage.9.5 When a shrinkage temperature of 98C or below isspecified, increase the temperature of the water heating me-dium at the rate of 3 to 5C/min until the specimen shrinks oruntil the specified shrinkage temperature is reached.9.6 When the material spec
