(Clause 3.2.1)
A-1 DETERMINATION OF CALCIUM CARBONATE CONTENT
A-1.0 General — The calcium carbonate content is determined volumetrically,
using standard potassium permanganate solution.
A-1.1 Reagents
A-1.1.1 Standard Potassium Permanganate Solution (0.1 N) — Dissolve 3.2 g
of potassium permanganate in 1 000 ml of water and allow it to stand for 8 to 14
days. Siphon off the clear supernatant solution into dark-coloured glass
stoppered bottle. Weigh accurately about 3.3 g of sodium oxalate, previously
dried for a few hours at 100 ± 2°C and cooled over fused calcium chloride in a
desiccator. Dissolve it in water and make up the solution to exactly 500 ml.
Transfer 25 ml of sodium oxalate solution to a conical flask, add 50 ml of water
and 10 ml of dilute sulphuric acid (1:1 by volume). Heat the solution to about
60°C and titrate with potassium permanganate solution.

Strength of permanganate solution

where
M = mass in g of sodium oxalate in 100 ml of solution, and
V= volume in ml of potassium permanganate required for titration
against 25 ml of sodium oxalate solution.
A-1.1.2 Bromine Water
A-1.1.3 Ammonium Oxalate Solution — saturated.
A-1.1.4 Dilute Hydrochloric Acid — Add one volume of concentrated
hydrochloric acid [ see IS 265 : 1993 Hydrochloric acid — Specification
(fourth revision ) ] to four volumes of water.
A-1-2 Procedure — Transfer about 0.2 g of accurately weighed whiting, dried
as described in 7 of IS 33 : 1976 'Inorganic pigments and extenders for paints
— Methods of sampling and test ( third revision )' to a beaker. Dissolve the
whiting in about 20 ml of dilute hydrochloric acid. Digest for 10 minutes on a
steam bath, dilute to 150 ml, filter and wash the residue with water. Add a few
millilitres of bromine water, heat to boiling and make the boiling solution
ammoniacal. Filter off the residue, wash it thoroughly and reduce the filtrate by
evaporation to 200 ml. To the slightly ammoniacal solution, heated to boiling,
add an excess of hot ammonium oxalate solution. Continue boiling till the
precipitate becomes granular. Allow to stand for one hour, filter and wash with
hot water. Pierce the apex of the filter paper with a stirring rod and wash the
precipitate into beaker with hot water. Pour warm dilute sulphuric acid through
the paper and wash it a few times with warm acid. Add about 30 ml of dilute
sulphuric acid, dilute to about 250 ml, heat to 60°C and titrate with standard
potassium permanganate solution.
A-1.3 Calculation

Calcium carbonate, percent by mass

where
V = volume in ml of 0.1 N potassium permanganate solution used for

Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
PUTTY, FOR USE ON WINDOW FRAMES
( First Revision )
0. F O R E W O R D
0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 30 June 1967, after the draft finalized by the Paints
and Allied Products Sectional Committee had been approved by the Chemical
Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1953 when it covered putty for use
on wooden frames. At the time of revision of this standard, the concerned
Sectional Committee decided to enlarge its scope to cover putty for use on
metal frames also, which was covered by IS : 420-1953*, Consequently,
this standard supersedes IS : 420-1953* which has since been withdrawn.
0.3 In drawing up the amalgamated revision, adequate consideration has
been given to stipulate various requirements independent of approved sample.
With the formulation of a specification for whiting for putty ( see IS : 2468-
1963†) reference to this standard has been given in the composition of the
material. Performance test for consistency has been improved by making it
more objective. All other changes found necessary as a result of experience
gained through the use of the standard have also been effected.
0.3.1 Full alignment of JSS 3070 'Specification for putty' issued by the
Department of Standardization, Ministry of Defence, Government of India,
has also been achieved with this revised standard.
0.4 For residue on sieve, IS Sieves conforming to IS : 460-1962‡ arc prescribed.
Where IS Sieves are not available, other equivalent standard sieves as judged
by aperture size may be used.
0.5 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standard specifications for fillers,
stoppers and putties.
*Specification for putty, for use on metal frames.
†Specification for whiting for putty.
‡Specification for test sieves (revised).

3
IS : 419 - 1967

0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this

standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing
the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements and the methods of sampling
and test for putty for use in fixing glass panes on wood and metal frames and
for filling splits, cracks and holes in wood or metal.

2. TERMINOLOGY
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given under 2 of
IS : 85-1950†, in IS : 1303-1963‡ and the following shall apply:
Setting time — The time taken for the putty to convert itself into
cohesive mass which does not yield to specified pressure applied after
a specified drying time.

3. REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Form and Condition — The material shall be homogeneous paste and
shall be free from grit and other visible impurities.
3.2 Composition — The material shall consist only of whiting (conforming
to IS : 2468-1963§), linseed oil, raw ( conforming to IS : 75-1950||) and
suitable varnish medium in such proportions as to form a paste which shall
comply with the requirements of this standard.
3.3 Consistency — The material, after thorough working in hands, shall
have good plastic quality without sliminess or stickiness that would render it
difficult to handle and apply.
3.3.1 In addition, it shall work readily and smoothly under a palette knife
without crumbling or cracking and, after being moulded in place, it shall
convert itself into a cohesive mass which does not yield to specified pressure
applied after 72 hours as prescsibed in Appendix A.
3.4 The material shall also comply with the requirements given in Table 1.
*Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ).
†Methods of test for oil pastes for paints.
‡Glossary of terms relating to paints ( revised ).
§Specification for whiting for putty.
||Specification for linseed oil, raw, for paints. ( Since revised ).

A-0. GENERAL
A-0.1 Outline of the Method — The putty applied to a specified thickness
over a metal panel is subjected to pressure test after stipulated period and
layers examined for deformity.

A-1.1 Apparatus for Setting T i m e Test — as shown in Fig. 1.

A-2. PROCEDURE
A-2.1 Apply the material on two clean metal panels of 60 × 60 mm size to
give a thickness of 5 mm. Allow the putty to dry for 72 hours. At the end of
this period, superimpose the two panels, so that the putty layers are under
contact and place on table A. Lower the steel ball B and plunger C to the
centre of the metal panels and place a weight of 500 g on top of the plunger.
Maintain the pressure on the plunger for 5 minutes. At the end of the 5
minutes period, separate the panels and examine for deformation,
A-2.1.1 The material shall be deemed to have passed the test if putty
layers do not get deformed under this load.
