1、Designation:D164401(Reapproved 2017)Standard Test Methods forNonvolatile Content of Varnishes1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1644;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 These test methods determine the fraction of a varnishthat

7、vents used incoatings and related products are below the temperature of thetest,care should be exercised that the lower explosive limits ofthe solvents are not exceeded.The amount of solvent in theoven atmosphere at any one time will depend on the number oftests(pans)in the oven,the percent nonvolat
