Designation:D6043 01(Reapproved 2006)An American National StandardStandard Guide forSelection of Permanent and Durable Artists Paper1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6043;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()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:2D585 Practice for Sampling and Accepting a Single Lot ofPaper,Paperboard,Fiberboard,and Related ProductD589 Test Method for Opacity of Paper(15 DiffuseIlluminant A,89%Reflectance Backing and Paper Back-ing)D644 Test Method for Moisture Content of Paper andPaperboard by Oven DryingD645/D645M Test Method for Thickness of Paper andPaperboardD646 Test Method for Grammage of Paper and Paperboard(Mass Per Unit Area)D689 Test Method for Internal Tearing Resistance of PaperD774/D774M Test Method for Bursting Strength of PaperD776 Test Method for Determination of Effect of Dry Heaton Properties of Paper and BoardD828 Test Method for Tensile Properties of Paper andPaperboard Using Constant-Rate-of-Elongation Appara-tus3D985 Test Method for Brightness of Pulp,Paper,andPaperboard(Directional Reflectance at 457 nm)D1030 Test Method for Fiber Analysis of Paper and Paper-boardD1968 Terminology Relating to Paper and Paper ProductsD3424 Practice for Evaluating the Relative Lightfastnessand Weatherability of Printed MatterD4714 Test Method for Determination of Effect of MoistHeat(50%Relative Humidity and 90C)on Properties ofPaper and BoardD4988 Test Method for Determination of Alkalinity ofPaper as Calcium Carbonate(Alkaline Reserve of Paper)D5634 Guide for Selection of Permanent and DurableOffset and Book Papers2.2TAPPI 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 paperboard41This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D06 on Paper andPaper Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D06.92 on StandardDocuments Relating to Paper and Paper Products.Current edition approved Nov.1,2006.Published November 2006.Originallyapproved in 1996.Last previous edition approved in 2001 as D6043 01.DOI:10.1520/D6043-01R06.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Withdrawn.The last approved version of this historical standard is referencedon www.astm.org.4Available from Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry(TAPPI),15 Technology Parkway South,Norcross,GA 30092,http:/www.tappi.org.1Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.NOTICE:This standard has either been superseded and replaced by a new version or withdrawn.Contact ASTM International(www.astm.org)for the latest informationT 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 andboard42.3ISO Standard:ISO 5630/1 Laboratory Aging of Pap
