1.1 本试验方法包括测定油漆和其他涂料中使用的溶剂和稀释剂的酯值。 1.2 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.3 为了使用本试验方法确定观察值或计算值是否符合相关规范，应根据实践修约方法，将用于表示规范极限的最后一个右手数字中的试验结果修约为“最接近的单位” E29年 . 1.4 有关危险信息和指南，请参阅供应商的材料安全数据表。 1.5 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 有关具体的危险声明，请参阅 8.6 . 1.6 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本试验方法可用于测定溶剂和稀释剂（羧酸酯或羧酸酯溶液）的含量。 酯值以酯百分比计算。当溶剂或稀释剂不是纯酯时，本试验方法具有最大的应用价值。本试验方法可用于评估是否符合规范。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the ester value of solvents and thinners used in lacquers and other coatings. 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 For purposes of determining conformance of an observed or a calculated value using this test method to relevant specifications, test result(s) shall be rounded off “to the nearest unit” in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the specification limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29 . 1.4 For hazard information and guidance, see the supplier’s Material Safety Data Sheet. 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. For a specific hazard statement, see 8.6 . 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 Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This test method is useful in determining the assay of solvents and thinners which are esters or solutions of esters of carboxylic acid. The ester value is calculated as percent ester. This test method has its greatest application where the solvent or thinner is not a pure ester. This test method may be used in assessing compliance to specification.
