含油量测试方法.docVIP

QA REQUIREMENT Requirement Statement This test method is used to determine the amount of chloroform-soluble lubricant in all types of vegetable and chrome tanned leather used in Timberland footwear. Adequate lubrication prevents abrasion of leather fibers during flexing. This lubrication is generally obtained from fat liqueur added at the tannery. Some grease is also obtained from natural grease produced during the life of the animal.

Equipment and Materials Dry leather specimen CX1054 OmniSolv Chloroform Absorbent fat-free cotton Cellulose fat-free extraction thimbles, single thickness (33mm x 80mm) Desiccant Analytical Balance (gram scale to nearest 0.001g) All glass Soxhlet apparatus consisting of: Boiling flask (250ml) Extraction tube Condenser Electric hot plate (3 burner) Forced air circulating oven Desiccator Scissors #2 Pencil Procedure Switch the fume hood ON. Plug the hot plate cord into the electric receptacle. Cut leather specimen into approximately .125”(3.18mm) x .125”(3.18mm) pieces. Weigh out approximately 5.800 grams of leather specimen on the gram scale. Record the actual weight. Write the material identification, with pencil (ONLY), on the extraction thimble and place diced leather specimen into the thimble. Place the extraction thimble into the extraction tube. Remove an empty dry 250ml boiling flask from the front of the desiccator (assures flask has been stored at room at room temperature (20°C) for 30 minutes minimum). Write the material identification on the boiling flask and weigh it on the gram scale to the nearest 0.001g. Record the weight of the flask. NOTE: Protective gloves and safety glasses should be worn when using Chloroform and all other laboratory chemicals to protect skin and eyes from splashing and/or spills.
