(Practice)Standard Practices for Producing Films of Uniform Thickness of Paint, Varnish, and Related Products on Test Panels
Standard Practices for Producing Films of Uniform Thickness of Paint, Varnish, and Related Products on Test Panels
SCOPE
1.1 Five practices are given for preparing films of uniform thickness of coatings on test panels. These practices are:Practice A--Automatic Spray Machine Application
Practice B--Motor-Driven Dip Coater Application
Practice C--Motor-Driven Blade Film Application
Practice D--Hand-Held Spray Gun Application
Practice E--Hand-Held Blade Film Application
1.2 The values stated in SI 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.
