2、mber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the pigments commerciallyknown as synthetic pure brown iron oxides and blends.Thesepigments are suitable for use in
3、 paints and coatings.Methodsof manufacture are:1.1.1 Precipitation of iron salts.1.1.2 Calcination of precipitated iron oxides.1.1.3 Blends of synthetic red,yellow,and black iron oxides.1.1.4 Blends of synthetic red,yellow,and black iron oxidesplus the addition of carbon black to a maximum of 5.0%.S
4、mall amounts of carbon black are added to obtain tintingcolors not obtainable when synthetic brown iron oxide orcarbon black are used singly.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Stan
