1、Designation:D287500(Reapproved 2010)Standard Test Method forInsoluble Ash of Vegetable-Tanned Leather1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2875;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision
2、.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 covers the determination of the in-soluble ash in all types of vegetable-tanned leathers.This testmethod does not apply
3、 to wet blue.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 thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to estab

5、The specimen from which the water-soluble matter hasbeen removed is heated at 600 6 25C until carbon is removedand constant weight is attained.The weighed residual matter istermed“insoluble ash”and is calculated as percentage of theoriginal sample.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method gives the
6、 amount of ash remaining inthe specimen after water extraction to remove water solublesfrom the leather in accordance with Test Method D2876.Theinsoluble ash is used in calculating the combined tanninbecause it is part of the tanned fiber structure that does notleach from the leather during water ex
7、traction.5.Apparatus5.1 Crucible,porcelain or platinum,large enough to holdthe leather specimen.5.2 Electric Muffle Furnace,with temperature controllerand pyrometer,capable of maintaining a temperature of 600 625C.6.Test Specimen6.1 The specimen shall consist of the 5-g leather sampleremaining after
8、 water extraction as directed in Test MethodD2876.Any deviation from this sample size should be includedwith the analytical results.7.Procedure7.1 Remove the specimen quantitatively from the extractiontube,dry at room temperature,transfer to the crucible,place ina cold muffle furnace,and ash at 600
9、6 25C until the crucibleand contents have reached constant weight as directed in TestMethod D2617.Remove the crucible to a desiccator,cool,andweigh.8.Calculation8.1 Calculate the percentage of insoluble ash in the leatheras follows:Insoluble ash,%5W32 W2!/W1#3100(1)where:W1=weight of specimen(15 g),
10、W2=weight of the crucible,andW3=weight of the crucible plus ash.9.Precision and Bias39.1 The precision of this test method is limited by the lackof homogeneity of the sample in a complex material such asleather.It will also vary with the insoluble ash content.9.1.1 At the 95%confidence level,duplica
11、te determina-tions by the same operator should not differ by more than 0.1%insoluble ash.9.1.2 At the 95%confidence level,the average of duplicatedeterminations in each of two laboratories by different opera-tors should not differ by more than 0.1%insoluble ash.1This test method is under the jurisdi
