Standard Test Method for Determining Particle Size of Multicolor Lacquers
SCOPE
1.1 This test method employs photographic reference standards to evaluate the particle size of multicolor lacquers.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound 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.
