Designation:D508702(Reapproved 2021)Standard Test Method forDetermining Amount of Volatile Organic Compound(VOC)Released from Solventborne Automotive Coatings andAvailable for Removal in a VOC Control Device(Abatement)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5087;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 test method covers the determination of the amountof volatile organic compound(VOC)released from appliedsolventborne automotive coatings that is available for deliveryto a VOC control device.This is accomplished by measuringthe weight loss of a freshly coated test panel subjected tosolvent evaporation or baking in a laboratory simulation of theproduction process.1.2 This test method is applicable to the VOC released fromflashoff and baking operations after the paint has been applied.1.3 This test method is applicable to solventborne automo-tive coating materials and is intended to represent or simulatethe production process.The same general principles apply towaterborne coatings that contain volatile organic compounds(VOC),although specific procedural details are not presentedherein to differentiate between VOC and water.1.4 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,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2B499 Test Method for Measurement of Coating Thicknessesby the Magnetic Method:Nonmagnetic Coatings onMagnetic Basis MetalsD1005 Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thick-ness of Organic Coatings Using MicrometersD1186 Test Methods for Nondestructive Measurement ofDry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied toa Ferrous Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D1400 Test Method for Nondestructive Measurement of DryFilm Thickness of Nonconductive Coatings Applied to aNonferrous Metal Base(Withdrawn 2006)3D2369 Test Method for Volatile Content of CoatingsE145 Specification for Gravity-Convection and Forced-Ventilation Ovens2.2 EPA Standard:EPAFederal Reference Method 24 Determination of VolatileMatter Content,Water Content,Density,Volume Solids,and Weight Solids,of Surface Coatings,40 CFR,Part 60,Appendix A4EPA 450/3-88-018,PB89152276 Protocol for Determiningthe Daily Volatile Organic Compound Emission Rate ofAutomobile and Light Duty Truck Topcoat Operations51This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.21 on Chemical Analysis of Paints and Paint Materials.Current edition approved Feb.1,2021.Published February 2021.Originallyapproved in 1990.Last previous edition approved in 2014 as D5087 02(2014).DOI:10.1520/D5087-02R21.2For 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.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from U.S.Government Printing Office Superintendent of Documents,732 N.Capitol St.,NW,Mail Stop:SDE,Washington,DC 20401,http:/www.access.gpo.gov.5Available from National Technical Information Service(NTIS),5285 PortRoyal Rd.,Springfield,VA 22161,http:/www.ntis.gov.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.13.Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method simulates the loss of VOC from afreshly coated surface by using the difference in weight of acoated test panel before and after baking.Metal test panels aresubjected to a simulation of the production coating processincluding application,flashing,and baking.The weight lossvalue obtained is then related to the volume of solids depositedon the test panel to compute the number of pounds of VOC pergallon(grams per litre)of solids applied that is available at theinlet of the VOC control device.3.2 The info
