Standard Test Method for Lead and Cadmium Extracted from the Lip and Rim Area of Glass Tumblers Externally Decorated with Ceramic Glass Enamels
Also Known As:
The purpose of the standard test procedure ASTM C927-80 (R2019)e1 is to quantify the quantity of lead and cadmium removed from the lip and rim regions of glass tumblers that have ceramic glass enamel exterior decorations. Acetic acid is used as the extraction medium to accomplish this. Instead of simulating the actual amount of metals extracted during lip contact, the goal of this test is to provide a way to assess the relative magnitude of metals extracted from various test specimens.
Lead and cadmium are heavy elements that the test technique recognizes can be hazardous to your health if you ingest them in excess. The test aids in the differentiation and comparison of various glassware specimens by measuring the amount of these metals extracted from the lip and rim areas. It should be noted, however, that the results of the extraction obtained using this test procedure could not be representative of the actual metal extraction during lip contact in practical application.
The harsh test conditions provided by this test method, which are particular to lead and cadmium, are not likely to occur under typical usage circumstances. For any more specifics, it is crucial to go to Test Method C738, which contains supplementary information.
