Standard Test Methods for Soluble Cellulose Nitrate (Withdrawn 2011)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Ash accounts for the nonsoluble, nonfilm forming portion of the polymer. It may affect solution clarity and film properties.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the material known as soluble cellulose nitrate (also known as soluble nitrocellulose), which is shipped wet in conformance with regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
1.2 The test methods appear in the following sections: SectionsAshDrying SamplesNitrogenStabilityToluene DilutionViscosity
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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. For specific hazard statements, see 12.2, 13.3, 16.1, and 16.2.
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
These test methods cover the material known as soluble cellulose nitrate (also known as soluble nitrocellulose), which is shipped wet in conformance with regulations of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications, this test method was withdrawn in June 2011. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement because of its limited use by industry.
