FED-STD-141 Paint, Varnish, Lacquer And Related Materials: Methods Of Inspection, Sampling And TestingThis standard elaborates the methods used to determine the physical and chemical properties of paint, varnish, lacquer, and related materials. The purpose of this standard is to establish standardized testing methodologies and to eliminate unnecessary or undesirable variations in test results when evaluating a product??s adherence to specification requirements. If any variation or modification of the methods established in this standard is required by any specification, the procedures listed in the specification will take precedence. Any conflict between this standard and any particular specification will be resolved in favor of the specification.

METHOD 4053.2

March 22, 2001

NONVOLATILE VEHICLE CONTENT

SCOPE

1.1 Scope. This method gives a procedure whereby the nonvolatile vehicle content should be

calculated using the sum of the volatile matter and pigment solids content.

APPARATUS

2.1

Apparatus. The appropriate apparatus from the specific methods chosen should be used.

REAGENTS

3.1

Reagents. The appropriate reagents from the specific methods chosen should be used.

PROCEDURE

4.1 Volatile matter. Add the percentage of volatile matter in the sample as determined by

ASTM D2369 to its pigment percentage as determined by ASTM D2698. Subtract this sum from

100 to obtain the percentage of nonvolatile vehicle in the sample.

PRECISION

5.1

Data. No data.

NOTES

6.1

Limitation. This method is limited only by the limitations placed on the methods that are used.
