3.6 Qualitative requirements.
3.6.1 Condition in container. When tested as specified in table VI, a freshly opened full container of the
enamel shall be free of grit, seeds, skins, lumps, putrefaction rancidity or livering, and shall show no more surface
float (separated pigments or other ingredients on the surface of the liquid enamel) or pigment settling or caking than
can be readily re-incorporated to a smooth uniform state (see 4.5.4.4).
3.6.2 Storage stability.
3.6.2.1 Partially-full container. When tested as specified in table VI, a three-quarter filled, closed 8-ounce
(225-milliliter) glass jar of enamel shall show no skinning at the end of 48 hours and after aging as specified, the
enamel shall show no skinning, surface float (separated pigments or other ingredients on the surface of the liquid
enamel), livering, curdling, hard caking, or gummy sediment. The enamel shall mix readily to a smooth uniform
state within 5 minutes when mixed with a paddle or mechanical mixer and shall have a consistency not greater than
5 units from the original Kreb unit consistency before testing (see table V). Enamel shall meet all other
requirements of this specification (see 4.5.4.1).
