Standard Practice for Infrared Determination of the Temperature of Applied Coatings on Wood Products During the Curing Cycle

SCOPE
1.1 This practice is intended to serve as a guide in measuring with infrared instruments the temperature during the curing process of coatings applied to wood products.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3  This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
