1、Designation:D6819 02(Reapproved 2007)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forAccelerated Temperature Aging of Printing and WritingPaper by Dry Oven Exposure Apparatus1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6819;the number immediately following the designation indicates the
2、 year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the 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 test method describes a laboratory procedure foraccel
3、erating the aging of printing and writing paper withinsealed glass tubes through exposure to elevated temperaturewithin an oven.1.2 This test method applies to all types of printing andwriting paper whether it is plain base paper,has internaladditives,is coated,is printed or contains any variants of
4、printing and writing paper found in normal usage.1.3 This test method specifies the sample preparation andconditions of exposure required to obtain information on thestability of paper to aging with regard to changes in mechanicalstrength properties brought about by exposure of such paper toelevated
5、 temperature.1.4 This test method provides the means to compare thestability of different papers on a relative basis,but does notattempt to project the exact life expectancy for a given paper.Life expectancy depends in large part on the limits of accept-ability beyond which various paper properties
6、are no longeruseful,as defined by end-users.For a given paper,those limitswill be different for different end-users.This test method doesnot provide a means to measure or to calculate such lifeexpectancy.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with i
7、ts use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D585 Practice for Sampling and Accepting a Single Lot ofPaper,Paperboard
