ASTM D 3624 - 85a (Reapproved 2005) Standard Test Method for Low Concentrations of Mercury in Paint by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved Jan. 1, 2005. Published February 2005. Originally approved in 1977. Last previous edition approved in 1999 as D 3624 – 85a (1999). 4 p. This test method covers the determination of the content of mercury in the range between 10 and 1000 ppm (mg/kg) present in liquid coatings, coatings vehicles, or in dried films obtained from previously coated substrates. There is no reason to believe that higher levels could not be determined by this test method, provided that appropriate dilutions and adjustments in specimen size and reagent quantities are made.
