ASTM D 5009 - 02 (Reapproved 2005) Standard Test Method for Evaluating and Comparing Transfer Efficiency of Spray Applied Coatings Under Laboratory Conditions

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved May 15, 2005. Published July 2005. Originally approved in 1996. Last previous edition approved in 2002 as D 5009 – 02. 4 p. This test method covers the evaluation and comparison of the transfer efficiency of spray-applied coatings under controlled laboratory conditions.
This test method has been shown to yield excellent intralaboratory reproducibility. Interlaboratory precision is poorer and is highly dependent on closely controlled air flow in the spray booth, the rate at which the paint is delivered to the part, and other variables suggested in the test method.
