(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Acid Resistance of Ceramic Decorations on Architectural-Type Glass
Standard Test Method for Acid Resistance of Ceramic Decorations on Architectural-Type Glass
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method evaluates the quality and serviceability of a ceramic decoration on architectural type glass. The degree of attack is determined using an acidic solution both quantitatively and qualitatively.
This test method provides a convenient control test during the manufacture of the ware.
This test method is suitable for specification acceptance.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers qualitative determination of the acid resistance of the ceramic decoration on architectural glass.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
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.
