Significance and Use

This test method covers determination of the total tin in the sample tested and does not apportion the tin to one or the other side of the test specimen. The calculations appearing in Section 27 assume uniform distribution of tin over the two surfaces.

This test method does not differentiate between free tin on the tinplate surface, tin combined with iron in the intermediate alloy layer, or tin alloyed with the steel as a residual tramp element.

Scope

1.1 These test methods include four methods for the determination of tin coating weights for electrolytic tin plate as follows:

Test Method
Sections
ABendix Test Method
3 to 9
BConstant-Current, Electrolytic Test Method (Referee Method)
10 to 18
CSellar's Test Method
19 to 28
DTitration Test Method
29 to 37

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3.1 This test method covers the determination of tin coating weights on steel plate.

10.1 This test method may be used to determine not only the total tin coating weight but also to determine that part of the tin coating which is present as free tin and that part which is present in the alloyed form.

19.1 This test method covers the determination of the total weight of tin carried by a unit area of tinplate.

29.1 This test method is normally applicable to the determination of tin coating weights in the range of 0.50 to 1.50 lb of tin/bb.

Note 4—For the determination of the coating weights outside of this range, an iodate solution of appropriate concentration should be prepared so that suitable titrant volumes are obtained. For the determination of low tin coating mass in the range from 0.050.49 lb/bb, the number of sample specimens should be adjusted appropriately to maintain a minimum total tin mass equivalent to that present on a 0.50 lb/bb specimen. This test method cannot be used to test single spot tin mass for low tin coating material.
