1、Designation:D36501(Reapproved 2011)Standard Guide forSoluble Nitrocellulose Base Solutions1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D365;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in
2、 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers the testing of soluble nitrocellulosebase solutions that are made by dispersing various kinds andconcentrations of soluble nitroce
3、llulose(cellulose nitrate)invarious solvent mixtures.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibil

10、he top of the tube.NOTE1The steel ball can be removed(in order to leave the samematerial in the tube for a check run)by removing the lower stopper.However,a small air bubble is usually introduced in this way.It ispreferable to invert the tube,removing the guide to get the ball out.It isoften necessa
11、ry to put a few drops of solvent in the guide lip to loosen itfrom the tube on account of the solution drying at the edge of the tube.When the latter method is used for removing the ball,a larger bubbletraverses the tube than when the former method is used,but a large bubblemoves sufficiently fast,e
