1、Designation:D640599(Reapproved 2014)Standard Practice forExtraction of Tannins from Raw and Spent Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6405;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last re
2、vision.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 practice covers extracting the tannin from raw andspent materials.The water extract obtained by this method isused to determi
3、ne the tannin content of the original material.Analysis for total solids,soluble solids,and soluble non-tannins of the water extract from a material provides theinformation necessary to calculate the extractable tannin con-tent of that material.The types of materials typically analyzedby this practi
4、ce are products of plants such as woods,barks,leaves,nuts,fruits,roots,etc.and any of a wide variety ofby-products(spent materials)from industrial processes utiliz-ing plant products.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The inch-pound units given in parentheses are for

11、ials arefirst dried under ambient laboratory conditions)and thenground sufficiently to pass through a sieve.This ground sampleis then extracted with water in a steam-jacketed extractor.5.Significance and Use5.1 This practice provides a standard procedure for obtain-ing the water-soluble materials(in
12、cluding tannins)from anymaterial that can be prepared for and charged to the steam-jacketed extractor.The extraction solutions are then analyzedaccording to Test Methods D4903,D6401,and D6402.6.Apparatus and Reagents6.1 Sieve,with circular openings 1.27 cm(0.50 in.)indiameter.1This practice is under
