Designation:D 1954 86(Reapproved 1995)e1Standard Test Method forFoots in Raw Linseed Oil(Volumetric Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1954;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.e1NOTEUnit of measurement statement and Keywords were added editorially in May 1995.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of foots inraw linseed oil.NOTE1Test Method D 1966,is a more reproducible method and canbe used in place of Test Method D 1954 upon mutual agreement betweenthe purchaser and the seller.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of whoever uses this standard to consult andestablish appropriate safety and health practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.Specific hazard statements are given in Section 8.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 1193 Specification for Reagent Water2D 1966 Test Method for Foots in Raw Linseed Oil(Gravi-metric Method)3E 1 Specification for ASTM Thermometers43.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 footsa term that originally was used to describethose solid impurities that precipitate from raw linseed oilduring storage and then settle to the bottom or“foot”of astorage tank.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 footsa material insoluble in a mixture of equal partsof acetone and the oil under test,and insoluble in calciumchloride solution,under specific conditions of the test.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 The oil to be tested is treated by mixing under definedconditions with an acid-calcium chloride solution and acetone.This mixture is allowed to settle in a graduated tube and thefoots content is determined volumetrically.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides an empirical measure of theamount of solid impurities present in raw linseed oil.Theimpurities are usually suspended in the oil.Addition of thereagents stratifies the impurities in a layer that is measuredvolumetrically.After addition of the reagents,a period of timeis provided to allow the impurities to stratify.The test methodis empirical since the volume of the impurity stratum willincrease over a period of time due to the hydration of theimpurities.5.2 After heating a sample of the oil to 65C,it is dividedinto two parts.One part is cooled to about 25C and the otherto 0C before the test is run.The test results run on the twosamples are known as the heated foots and chilled footsrespectively.6.Apparatus6.1 Beakers,150-mL,made of chemically resistant glass.6.2 ThermometerAnASTM Partial Immersion Thermom-eter having a range from 20 to+150C and conforming tothe requirements for Thermometer 1C as prescribed in Speci-fication E 1.6.3 Sample Bottles,60-mL(2-oz).6.4 Graduated Cylinders,10 and 25-mL.6.5 Graduated TubeA buret or color comparison tube,having an internal diameter of 10 to 15 mm,and a capacity ofnot less than 70 mL.The graduations in 0.1-mL should extendat least from 10 to 50 mL above the bottom of the tube.6.6 Water Bath,capable of being maintained at 25 6 0.5C.7.Reagents7.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests.Unless otherwise indicated,it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-1 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.32 on Drying Oils.Current edition approved March 27,1986.Published May 1986.Originallypublished as D 1954 61.Last previous edition D 1954 62(1984).2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 11.01.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 06.03.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 14.03.1AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR TESTING AND MATERIALS100 Barr Harbor Dr.,West Conshohocken,PA 19428Reprinted from the Annual Book of ASTM Standards.Copyright ASTMwhere such specifications are available.5Other grades may beused,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.7.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated,referencesto water shall be understood to mean reagent water conformingto Type I of Specification D 1193.7.3 Acetone.(PrecautionSee 8.1)7.4 Acid-Calcium Chloride SolutionDissolve 600 g ofcalcium chloride(CaCl2)or 800 g of CaCl22H2O in a mixtureof 80 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid(HCl,sp gr 1.19)(Precautionsee 8.2)and 500 mL of water.Dilu
