1、Designation:D471312Standard Test Methods forNonvolatile Content of Heatset and Liquid Printing InkSystems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4713;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revi
2、sion.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 These test methods cover the determination of weightcontent of nonvolatile matter in two types of printing inks.1.2 Test MethodAis
3、applicable to heatset-type printing inksand resin solutions;solvents in such systems typically haveinitial boiling points in the range from 240 to 275C(470 to535F)and vapor pressures less than 0.2 mm Hg.1.3 Test Method B is applicable to liquid-type printing inksand vehicles based on aqueous or orga
4、nic solvents that evapo-rate readily at ordinary room temperatures.NOTE1Test Method A(for heatset systems)specifies a specimen filmthickness that is much thinner than those produced by related testmethods;one exception is Test Method B in Test Methods D1259,whichis recommended as a referee test.NOTE
5、2Test Method B(for liquid ink systems)is similar to TestMethod D2369 except that a solvent is not required for spreading the testspecimen.1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to
6、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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1259 Test Met

9、a 57-mm weighing dish by means of a dispos-able syringe,mechanically spread out,and heated in an oven at110C for 1 h.4.Significance and Use4.1 Nonvolatile content of printing inks is useful for speci-fication acceptance between the producer and the user.4.2 In order to obtain accurate results for he
10、atset systemswithin the specified 3-h heating time,the specimen filmthickness must be less than 100 g/m2,and the oven must haveforced ventilation.Thickness of the specimen film is lesscritical for liquid ink systems.5.Apparatus5.1 Balance,accurate to 1 mg.5.2 Oven,forced-ventilation type conforming
11、to Type IIB inSpecification E145 and maintained at 110 6 2C.5.3 Thermometer,capable of reading 110 6 2C and con-forming to Specification E1.Alternately,temperature measur-ing devices such as liquid-in-glass thermometers,thermistors,thermocouples,or platinum resistance thermometers that pro-vide equi
