1、Designation:D445122Standard Test Method forPigment Content of Paints by Low-Temperature Ashing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4451;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numb
2、er 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 covers the pigment content of paintsand several traffic marking materials(thermoplastic and pre-formed tape)by low-temperature
3、 furnace ashing.Some organicpigments may be lost by this method and some water ormoisture contained in pigments will be lost.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of
4、 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 regulatory limitations prior to use.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-d
