Standard Test Method for pH of Wet Blue and Wet White

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This test method is designed to measure the pH of a distilled-water extract of Wet Blue and Wet White. This is considered to be a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the Wet Blue or Wet White. Excessive acidity or alkalinity may have a deleterious effect on the aging characteristics of Wet Blue and Wet White and the leather made from it.

ASTM D6656-16(2021)(Test Method)
Standard Test Method for Determination of Chromic Oxide in Wet Blue (Perchloric Acid Oxidation)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 The procedure described is specific for chromium in Wet Blue. Vanadium is the only common interfering element and is rarely present in quantity. The precision and accuracy of the methods are usually, at least, as good as the sampling of Wet Blue itself.  
5.2 The chromium content of Wet Blue is related to the degree of tannage obtained, and hence may be a matter for specification in the purchase of Wet Blue. The procedure described provides adequate accuracy for this purpose.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of chromic oxide in Wet Blue that has been partly or completely tanned with chromium compounds. In general, the samples will contain chromium content between 1 % and 5 % when calculated as chromic oxide expressed upon a dry basis otherwise referred to as moisture-free basis (mfb).  
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 test method does not apply to Wet White.  
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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. See Section 9 for specific safety hazards.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ASTM D6659-16(2021)(Practice)
Standard Practice for Sampling and Preparation of Wet Blue and Wet White for Physical and Chemical Tests

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The sampling procedures described in this practice have been designed to ensure random sampling of Wet Blue and Wet White for physical and chemical tests. Wet Blue and Wet White are natural products and as such are subject to extensive variability. The physical and chemical properties vary considerably depending on location on the hide, side, or skin from which the test sample is taken. Random sampling of specimens from a predefined location and orientation minimizes test bias and variability. This practice defines these parameters.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the sampling and preparation of Wet Blue and Wet White for physical and chemical tests. The product is grouped into lots that are randomly sampled in such a manner as to produce a representative sample of the lot. This sample may be used to determine compliance of the lot with applicable specification requirements, and on the basis of results, the lot may be accepted or rejected in its entirety.  
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Standard Test Method for Determining Acidity of Vegetable Tanning Liquors

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method is used to determine one of the chemical properties of tannery liquors which are relevant for the vegetable tanning process and influence the astringency of vegetable tanning liquors. The astringency of liquors is dependent upon the solids and tannin content and the acidity. This test method provides a standard procedure for determining the total acidity for any sample of vegetable tanning liquor.  
5.2 The specimens are aliquots from the analytical solution prepared from the sample of tannery liquor collected for this purpose.  
5.3 The total acidity of the liquor sample is determined by one of two titrametric procedures described in this test method.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers determining the acidity of tannery liquors made up from vegetable tanning materials.  
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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ASTM D6404-99(2020)(Practice)
Standard Practice for Sampling Vegetable Materials Containing Tannin

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This practice provides standard procedures for obtaining representative samples of various materials used as a source of tannins for the tanning industry.  
5.2 Procedures are described for obtaining representative samples of economical and convenient quantities from a lot, or sections of a lot, of material for examination and analysis so that agreement may be reached with regard to the extent of variation of quality in different portions of a lot and the average quality of the entire lot of material.  
5.3 No directions for sampling, however explicit, can take the place of judgment, skill, and previous experience on the part of persons actually engaged in the sampling or the supervision of the sampling. These directions are intended to supplement that experience and, particularly, to serve as a guide in the selection of the method which is to be used, in common, by each of two or more contracting parties.  
5.4 Tanning materials contain moisture in varying amounts, depending both on the nature of the material and on the climatic conditions, so that sampling must be carried out as quickly as is consistent with thoroughness in order to avoid changes in moisture content.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers obtaining representative samples from shipment lots of botanical materials containing tannin.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
