Volume solids D2697 [Paint Testing]

Good job but Please if added the calculation process every person can be understand much

Thank you for your comment. The video is not intended to allow you to understand how to perform the test, but to show that we perform it in our lab. To understand the procedure, you must familiarize yourself with the ASTM D2697 test method and gain experience in performing this test in practice. If you need consultation or training, we offer it.

hi I work for a family owned coating manufacturing business. where would I get the cheapest and most repairable lab equipment to accurately measure this out or the lab equipment used in this video?

[@SpektrochemResearchLaboratory]

Cheap and reliable is a fine line and balancing on the edge of risk. Would you believe the results of tests done cheaply on unreputable equipment? Probably not. That's why we only use traceable, world-class equipment from proven suppliers

@@SpektrochemResearchLaboratory sounds unaffordable. But no, I just need anything that gets me 1-2% margin of error on volume solids. I don't need top of the line machinery that's .0000000001% margin of error you get me?

@@zsurvivalist7996 The ASTM D2697 standard indicates all the limits of precision, repeatability, reproducibility, etc. An analytical balance does not have to be very expensive, but it must be calibrated and checked regularly, your laboratory conditions must be monitored and meet temperature and humidity requirements if you want to maintain the reliability of your measurements. In addition, proficiency in performing tests, which means that if you want to perform such tests, you must ensure appropriate standards. The precision of the ASTM D2697 method is just that, providing 1-2% volume solids. I don't know why you think it's 0.0000001% here?

@@SpektrochemResearchLaboratory well that was an exageration and sort of a joke. I'm just some idiot in over my head trying to learn things so i can test our products more precisely since I don't believe I've been taught correctly how to do things where I'm at.

@@zsurvivalist7996 I don't think you're an idiot... I think you deserve recognition because you're trying to find how to do something right and you want to learn... Start with a 0.001 analytical scale with ASTM D2697 volumetric weighing attachment and compare your results to some known value of volume solids

What is the calculation to determine the volume?
