Designation:D 6043 01Standard Guide forSelection of Permanent and Durable Artists Paper1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6043;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 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers artists papers used in the preparationof permanent or semipermanent artwork.Some works of art areexpected to last several hundred years,and others might beexpected to last 50 years,or less.1.2 In selecting artists papers for a given life expectancy,papers with acceptable strength are evaluated for life expect-ancy through accelerated aging.1.3 This guide is to be used for guidance in the purchase ofpermanent artists paper.1.4 As a great variety of artists papers are to be found in themarket place,extensive information on the various kinds ofpaper in use by artists is beyond the scope of this guide.Thisguide is concerned mostly with life expectancy of the paper.1.5 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.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 585 Practice for Sampling and Accepting a Single Lot ofPaper,Paperboard,Fiberboard,and Related Products2D 589 Test Method for Opacity of Paper2D 644 Test Method for Moisture Content of Paper andPaperboard by Oven Drying2D 645 Test Method for Thickness of Paper and Paperboard2D 646 Test Method for Grammage of Paper and Paperboard(Mass per Unit Area)2D 689 Test Method for Internal Tearing Resistance of Pa-per2D 774/D 774M Test Method for Bursting Strength of Paper2D 776 Test Method for Determination of Effect of Dry Heaton Properties of Paper and Board2D 828 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Paper andPaperboard Using Constant-Rate-of-Elongation Appara-tus2D 985 Test Method for Brightness of Pulp,Paper,andPaperboard(Directional Reflectance at 457 nm)2D 1030 Test Method for Fiber Analysis of Paper and Paper-board2D 1968 Test Method for Terminology Relating to Paper andPaper Products2D 3424 Test Methods for Evaluating the Lightfastness andWeatherability of Printed Matter3D 4714 Test Method for Determination of Effect of MoistHeat(50%Relative Humidity and 90C)on Properties ofPaper and Board2D 4988 Test Method for Determination of Alkalinity ofPaper as Calcium Carbonate(Alkaline Reserve of Paper)2D 5634 Guide for Selection of Permanent and DurableOffset and Book Papers22.2TAPPI Test Methods:T 236 Kappa number of pulp4T 400Sampling and accepting a single lot of paper,paperboard,fiberboard,or related product4T 401 Fiber analysis of paper and paperboard4T 403 Bursting strength of paper4T 410 Grammage of paper and paperboard(weight per unitarea)4T 411 Thickness(caliper)of paper and paperboard4T 412Moisture in paper and paperboard4T 414Internal tearing resistance of paper4T 425 Opacity of paper(15/diffuse illuminant A,89%reflectance backing and paper backing)4T 452 Brightness of pulp,paper,and paperboard(direc-tional reflectance at 457 nm)4T 453 Effect of dry heat on properties of paper and board4T 459 Surface strength of paper(wax pick test)44T 479 Smoothness of paper(Bekk method)4T 480 Specular gloss of paper and paperboard at 75 de-grees4T 494 Tensile breaking properties of paper and paperboard4T 509Hydrogen ion concentration(pH)of paper extracts(cold extraction method)4T 538Smoothness of paper and board(Sheffield method)4T 544Effect of moist heat on properties of paper andboard41This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D06 on Paper andPaper Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D06.20 onPermanent Records Paper.Current edition approved Dec.10,2001.Published February 2002.Originallypublished as D 6043-96.Last previous edition D 6043-96.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 15.09.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 06.02.4Available from the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry,TAPPI Press,Technology Park,Atlanta,GA 30348.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.2.3ISO Standard:ISO 5630/1 Laboratory Aging of PaperAging in a DryOven at 105C5ISO 5630/3 Laboratory Aging of PaperAging in a MoistOven at 80C,65%Relative Humidity5ISO9706 PaperfordocumentsSpecificationsforpermanenceNormative AnnexSpecial instructions fordetermining kappa number53.Terminology3.1 Definitions:63.1.1 acid-sized paper,npaper that has been manufac-tured using a procedure or process at pH values below 7(usually 4.0 to 6.5)that results in a paper that has resistance toaqueous-liquid penetration.3.1.2 alkaline-filled paper,na paper containing an alka-line filler such as calcium carbonate;having a pH
