2、e year of last revision.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 measurement of the degree ofclarity and depth of yellowness of water-based clear floorpol
3、ishes.1.2 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 establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Terminolog
4、y2.1 Definitions:2.1.1 absorbancethe negative logarithm,to the base 10,ofthe ratio of the radiant power transmitted through a sample tothe radiant power incident upon the sample.Hence,as theclarity decreases or the depth of the yellowness increases theabsorbance increases.3.Significance and Use3.1 T
5、he laboratory technique described in this test method isused to evaluate the clarity and yellowness of water-based“clear”floor polishes for product development or qualitycontrol purposes.4.Apparatus4.1 Colorimeter,2equippedwithcylindrical20-mmmatched cells.(If 20-mm cells are not available,10-mmmatc
6、hed cells may be substituted.)4.2 Any colorimeter having equivalent resolution and sen-sitivity may be used with the appropriate matched cells.5.Sampling5.1 The sample shall be representative of the material to betested and the portion used for the test shall be representativeof the sample itself.5.
7、2 Calibration SampleAny emulsion polymer that visu-ally exhibits little or no yellowness,selected for dilution(see6.1).6.Preparation of Correction Graph6.1 Prepare minimum of five dilutions of the calibrationsample with distilled water so that absorbance reading between0.00 and 0.16 at 500 nm are ob
