(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Determination of Percent Nonvolatile Content of Liquid Phenolic Resins Used for Wood Laminating
Standard Test Method for Determination of Percent Nonvolatile Content of Liquid Phenolic Resins Used for Wood Laminating
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 This test method is intended as a fast and economical determination of the nonvolatile content of liquid phenolic resins used for wood laminating and is useful for general comparative purposes. For greater precision and accuracy, Test Method D1582 is recommended.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the recommended procedure for the determination of the nonvolatile or total solids content of liquid phenolic resins used for wood laminating.
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.
