8、is test method.This specimen is then fastenedbetween two clamps(one fixed and one movable)and im-mersed in the aqueous medium(see Fig.1).The aqueousmedium is gradually heated until the specified temperature isreached without shrinkage or until shrinkage is indicated by adeflection of the dial needle
9、 which is attached to the movableclamp.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is designed to determine the tempera-ture at which the Wet Blue or Wet White specimen experiencesshrinkage.In this test method,shrinkage occurs as a result ofhydrothermal denaturation of the collagen protein moleculesw
10、hich make up the fiber structure of the Wet Blue or WetWhite.The shrinkage temperature of Wet Blue or Wet White isinfluenced by many different factors,most of which appear toaffect the number and nature of crosslinking interactionsbetween adjacent polypeptide chains of the collagen proteinmolecules.
11、The value of the shrinkage temperature of Wet Blueor Wet White is commonly used as an indicator of the type oftannage or the degree of tannage,or both,of that particular WetBlue or Wet White(especially for the more hydrothermallystable tannages such as chrome tannage).6.Apparatus6.1 Stand,for suppor
