Designation:D135313Standard Test Method forNonvolatile Matter in Volatile Solvents for Use in Paint,Varnish,Lacquer,and Related Products1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D1353;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.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the non-volatile matter in volatile solvents for use in paint,varnish,lacquer,and related products.1.2 The following applies to all specified limits in thisstandard;for purposes of determining conformance with thisstandard,an observed value or a calculated value shall berounded off“to the nearest unit”in the last right-hand digitused in expressing the specification limit,in accordance withthe rounding-off method of Practice E29.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 For hazard information and guidance,see the suppliersMaterial Safety Data Sheet for materials listed in this testmethod.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.For specific hazardstatements,see Section 5.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E29 Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data toDetermine Conformance with SpecificationsE177 Practice for Use of the Terms Precision and Bias inASTM Test MethodsE299 Test Method for Trace Amounts of Peroxides InOrganic SolventsE691 Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study toDetermine the Precision of a Test Method3.Significance and Use3.1 This test method describes the analytical measurementof residual matter in solvents that are intended to be 100%volatile at 105 6 5C.Volatile solvents are used in themanufacture of paint,varnish,lacquer,and other relatedproducts,and the presence of any residue may affect theproduct quality or efficiency of the process.This test method isuseful in manufacturing control and assessing compliance withspecifications.4.Apparatus4.1 Oven,thermostatically controlled at 105 6 5C.4.2 Dish,evaporating,platinum,125-mL.A platinumevaporating dish is preferred.Alternatively,an aluminum orporcelain dish may be used(see Note 1).NOTE1Precision data were determined utilizing only platinumdishes.4.3 Cylinder,graduated,100-mL.4.4 Analytical Balance,precision to 60.1 mg.5.Hazards5.1 WarningCertainsolventsandchemicalintermediates,particularly,but not only ethers and unsaturatedcompounds,may form peroxides during storage.These perox-ides may present a violent explosion hazard when the chemi-cals are evaporated.When peroxide formation is likely becauseof chemical type or length of storage time,analyze the materialfor peroxides(see Test Method E299).If they exist in hazard-ous concentrations,take appropriate precautions such as de-stroying the peroxides before evaporation,shielding,or dis-posal of the sample and not running the test.6.Procedure6.1 Dry a 125-mL platinum evaporating dish in an oven at105 6 5C,cool in a desiccator,and weigh.Repeat until theweight is within 0.1 mg of the previous weighing.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee D01.35 on Solvents,Plasticizers,and Chemical Intermediates.Current edition approved Feb.1,2013.Published March 2013.Originallyapproved in 1954.Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D1353 09.DOI:10.1520/D1353-13.2For 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.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 6.2 With the graduated cylinder,measure 100 mL of sampleat room temperature into the conditioned platinum evaporatingdish(see 4.2);place on a steam bath or a hot plate in a fumehood and evaporate.WarningSince aliphatic hydrocarbonshave low autoignition temperatures,only efficient hoodsshould be used.NOTE2Precision data were obtained only with evaporation usingsteam bath.6.3 Return the dish and contents to the oven for 15 to 30min,cool,and reweigh.Repeat,if necessary,until the weight isconstant to within 0.1 mg of the previous weighing.7.Report7.1 Report as nonvolatile matter the residue obtained fromthe specimen as milligrams of nonvolatile residue/100 mL.8.Precisi
