(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Total Solids and Ash Content in Leather Finishing Materials
Standard Test Method for Total Solids and Ash Content in Leather Finishing Materials
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is intended for use in determining the total solids content and the ash content of a finishing material before its use on any leather.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the total solids and ash content of finishing 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
