1.1 These test methods cover the chemical analysis of the pigment commercially known as basic lead silicochromate and are applicable to pigment supplied by the manufacturer and to pigment, but not mixed pigments, separated from liquid coatings. The presence of basic lead silicochromate species shall be confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (see Specification D 1648).

1.2 For liquid coatings the pigment must first be separated from the vehicle before conducting the analysis.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
