This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 1724-1979 Methods of test for fineness of grind of paints and GB/T 6753.1-2007 Paints varnishes and printing inks - Determination of fineness of grind. This standard is developed by reference to GB/T 1724-1979 and integrating the contents of GB/T 6753.1-2007. In addition to editorial changes, the following main technical changes have been made with respect to GB/T 1724-1979:
——the "Scope" is added (see Clause 1);
——the method A is added (see Clause 4);
——the requirements for gauge and scraper are modified (see Sub-clause 5.1; Clause 1 of 1979 edition);
This standard has been redrafted and modified in relation to of ISO 1524: 2013 Paints varnishes and printing inks - Determination of fineness of grind.
This standard is different from ISO 1524: 2013 in structure; the comparison table for clause numbers in this standard and those in ISO 1524:2013 is listed in Annex A.
Technical changes have been made in this standard with respect to ISO 1524: 2013, and marked with perpendicular single line (|) at the margin of relevant clauses; see Annex B for the list of technical changes and their justifications.
The following editorial changes have been made in this part:
——the foreword of the international standard is deleted;
——Annex A (Informative) "Technical deviations between this standard and ISO 1524: 2013, together with their justifications" is added;
——Annex B (Informative) "Comparison between this standard and ISO 1524: 2013 in clause number " is added.
This standard was proposed by China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Paints & Pigments of Standardization Administration of China (SAC/TC 5).
This standard replaces GB / T 1724-1979 and GB / T 6753.1-2007.
The previous edition of GB/T 1724-1979 is as follows:

Paints, varnishes and printing inks - Determination of fineness of grind
1 Scope
This standard specifies a method for determining the fineness of grind of paints, varnishes and printing inks by use of a suitable gauge, graduated in μm.
This standard is applicable to all types of liquid paints, varnishes and related products, except products containing pigments in flake form (e.g. glass flakes, micaceous iron oxides, zinc flakes).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
fineness of grind
reading obtained on a standard gauge under specified conditions of test, indicating the depth of the groove(s) of the gauge at which discrete solid particles in the product are readily discernible
4 Method A
4.1 Apparatus
4.1 Gauge
It can consist of a block of hardened steel e.g. 175 mm long, 65 mm wide and 13 mm thick.
At least for use with water-dilutable paints, a block of stainless steel shall be used.
The top surface of the block shall be both plan and ground smooth and shall contain one or two grooves approximately 140 mm long and 12.5 mm wide parallel to the longer sides of the block. The depth of each groove shall be uniformly tapered along its length from a suitable depth (for example 25 µm, 50 µm or 100 µm) at one end to zero at the other end and shall be graduated as specified in Table 1. A diagram showing two typical gauges is given in Figure 1.
The depth of the groove at any position along its length shall not depart from its nominal value at any position across the groove depth by more than 2.5 μm.
The surface of the block shall be finished by fine grinding or lapping; it shall be flat, with surface flatness of 12 μm and the straightness of cross section busbar of 1 μm. The top and bottom surfaces of the block shall be parallel within 25 µm.
Steel gauges of the approximate dimensions stated are suitable for the test, but other gauges giving similar results may be used.
The precision of the fineness-of-grind determination depends in part on which gauge is used (see Sub-clause 4.3). Therefore, it is essential to identify the gauge (100 µm, 50 µm or 25 µm) when reporting results or specifying requirements.
