Standard Test Methods for Density of Coating Powders

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 Test Method A is a straight-forward method using readily available laboratory equipment and glassware. Test Method A may only be used with powder that does not contain metallic pigments.  
4.2 Test Method B provides better precision at higher cost and includes metallics, although different models produced different grand averages for each of the three samples tested.  
4.3 Test Method C may be used when the formulation is known, and the density of each raw material is available.
SCOPE
1.1 These standard test methods cover three procedures for determining the density of coating powders, as follows:  
1.2 Test Method A, for testing coating powders, excluding metallics, is a method that uses readily available laboratory equipment (for example, analytical balance, volumetric flask, etc.).  
1.3 Test Method B requires the use of a pycnometer.  
1.4 Test Method C is a method that calculates the density of a powder based upon the formula ingredients and their amounts and densities.  
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.6 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.  
1.7 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.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

1. Scope
1.1 These standard test methods cover three procedures for determining the specific gravity (see definition) density of coating
powders, as follows:
TEST METHOD A—For Testing Coating Powders, Excluding Metallics
TEST METHOD B—For Tests Requiring Greater Precision than Test Method A,
Including Metallics, Using Helium Pycnometry
TEST METHOD C—For Theoretical Calculation Based on Raw Material Specific
Gravities
1.2 Test Method A can be used as a less expensive method with reduced accuracy for determining the specific gravity of coating
powders, excluding metallics.A, for testing coating powders, excluding metallics, is a method that uses readily available laboratory
equipment (for example, analytical balance, volumetric flask, etc.).
1.3 The ideal gas law forms the basis for all calculations used in the Test Method B determination of density of coating powders.
1.4 Test Method B includes procedures that provided acceptable results for samples analyzed during round robin testing.
1.3 Test Method B uses SI units as standard. State all numerical values in terms of SI units unless specific instrumentation

instead of using SI units (kg/m ).
1.4 Test Method C is a method that calculates the density of a powder based upon the formula ingredients and their amounts
and densities.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
