(Test Method)Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Zinc Dust (Metallic Zinc Powder)
Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Zinc Dust (Metallic Zinc Powder)
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 These test methods compile procedures which can be used to check the composition of purity of metallic zinc powder. This information is useful to both the formulator and users.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the chemical analysis of metallic zinc powder in the form commercially known as zinc dust for use as a pigment in paints.
1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order:
