American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved July 1, 2009. Published July 2009. Originally approved in 1943. Last previous edition approved in 2002 as D714–02. 6 p.
This test method employs photographic reference standards to evaluate the degree of blistering that may develop when paint systems are subjected to conditions which will cause blistering. While primarily intended for use on metal and other nonporous surfaces, this test method may be used to evaluate blisters on porous surfaces, such as wood, if the size of blisters falls within the scope of these reference standards. When the reference standards are used as a specification of
performance, the permissible degree of blistering of the paint system shall be agreed upon by the purchaser and the seller.
