This standard specifies the method for determining the total sulfate ash content and sulfate brine insoluble ash content of leather, and is applicable to various types of leather. This standard may not be accurate for leather containing organometallic compounds such as silicones (see note ① in 6.1). The amount of minerals obtained by ashing leather may differ from the actual content due to decomposition, reduction or volatilization of certain salts. The ash is treated with sulfuric acid, in which both salts and oxides are converted into sulfates. However, some salts can be converted into oxides again at a selected ignition temperature. Determination of the total mineral content, e.g. water-soluble and water-insoluble inorganic substances, within the full analytical range of leather can be determined by calculation or separate determination. Ammonium salts cannot be determined using this method.
