About This Item
ASTM D2698 is the ASTM standard for the Standard Test Method for Determination of the Pigment Content of Solvent-Reducible Paints by High-Speed Centrifuging. It provides a practical way to measure pigment content in solvent-reducible paints using a centrifuging-based test method, helping users compare formulations and evaluate consistency. This technical document is relevant for quality control, product development, and routine testing where pigment content is an important part of paint performance and specification compliance.
Purpose of ASTM D2698
The purpose of this standard is to define a test method for determining pigment content in solvent-reducible paints by high-speed centrifuging. By setting out a repeatable approach, ASTM D2698 helps laboratories and manufacturers obtain results that can be used for product evaluation and comparison. The standard is especially useful when a clear, consistent method is needed to support testing practices and reduce variation in how pigment content is measured across different samples or batches.
Common use cases of ASTM D2698
This standard is commonly used in laboratory and quality control settings that work with solvent-reducible paint formulations. It may support incoming material checks, batch verification, or routine product testing where pigment content needs to be determined in a controlled and reproducible manner. ASTM D2698 is also relevant when comparing similar paint products or confirming that a formulation aligns with established technical requirements during development or production.
Why ASTM D2698 matters
ASTM D2698 matters because pigment content can influence both product consistency and how a paint formulation is evaluated against technical expectations. A standardized test method supports more reliable results, which is important for procurement, compliance checks, and quality assurance. Using a recognized ASTM standard also helps reduce ambiguity in testing, making it easier for buyers, laboratories, and manufacturers to communicate results and compare data with greater confidence.
