1、Designation:E175313Standard Practice forUse of Qualitative Chemical Spot Test Kits for Detection ofLead in Dry Paint Films1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1753;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the
2、year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers the use of commercial spot test kitsbased on either sulfide or rhodizonate for the qualitative
3、determination of the presence of lead in dry paint films.1.2 This practice may also be used as a qualitative proce-dure for other dry coating films such as varnishes.1.3 This practice provides a list of the advantages andlimitations of chemical spot test kits based on sulfide andrhodizonate to allow
4、 the user to choose the appropriate spot testfor a given circumstance.1.4 This practice contains notes which are explanatory andnot part of mandatory requirements.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the use

12、adqualitatively through the use of a spot test.Spot tests kits arebased on the reaction of Lead II(Pb2+)ion with either sulfideion(S2)or rhodizonate ion C6O62,resulting in the charac-teristic color change(See 3.2.6 and 3.2.7).4.1.1 Prior to performing the spot test,the dry paint filmsurface is first
13、 cleaned.Except for surface tests,the film is thenprepared by either cutting a notch or an angular cut in situ orby removing a paint chip or core sample.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E06 on Perfor-mance of Buildings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E06.23
