ASTM D4487 : 90(2020)

Standard Test Methods for Analysis of Calcium Borosilicate

Standard Details

1.1 These test methods cover the analysis of the pigment commercially known as calcium borosilicate.

1.2 The test methods appear in the following order:

Test Methods	Sections
Silicon Dioxide (SiO₂)	6 – 9
Iron Oxide (Fe₂O₃)	10 – 13
Boron Trioxide (B₂O₃)	17 – 20
Calcium Oxide (CaO)	21 – 23
Moisture and Volatile Matter	24
Water of Hydration	25 to 26
Coarse Particles	27
Oil Absorption	28

1.3 Individual specimens may be used for the direct determinations of SiO₂, B₂O₃, and CaO. SiO₂ and Fe₂O₃ should be removed before the determination of the B₂O₃ and CaO.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.5 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International StandardDetails, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
