ASTM D4654-87(2009)
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Sulfate Basicity in Leather
Standard Test Method for Sulfate Basicity in Leather
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is used to determine the percent of total chromic oxide that is combined with hydroxyl and may serve as a measure of chrome fixation.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is intended for use in calculating the sulfate basicity of mineral tanned leather.
1.2 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.

1. Scope 5.2 Unless otherwise specified in the detail specifications,
two specimens from the composite sample shall be tested.
1.1 This test method is intended for use in calculating the
sulfate basicity of mineral tanned leather. 5.3 The percent basicity of the sample for test shall be the
average of the test results obtained from the specimens tested.
