The development times at 68F/20C are as follows: Pyro Developers Formulas 231 Unless otherwise specifi ed, mixing and development with pyro formulas should be carried out between 65F/18C and 70F/21C. FORMULA #49 510-Pyro (2006) (Jay DeFehr) Triethenalomine (TEA), 75.0 ml Ascorbic acid 5.0 g Pyrogallol 10.0 g Phenidone 0.25 g TEA to make 100.0 ml The standard dilution is 1:100. Starting development time is 5 to 7 minutes at 70F/21C. NOTE 1: Can be diluted up to 1:500 for extended development and reduced agitation techniques, for increased edge effects. Use 1 minute initial agitation, followed by one inversion every 10 to 15 minutes for up to one hour. NOTE 2: TEA concentrates are easily measured with a measuring syringe. A 3.0, 6.0, or 25.0 ml syringe will cover a wide range of dilutions and working solutions. Small variations in dilution make no practical difference in the performance of the working solution. FORMULA #50 Kodak D-1, ABC Pyro (circa 1890) Film Time Plus-X 7 minutes Tri-X 35 mm 7 minutes Tri-X 120 8 minutes The formula is given here as three separate working dilutions, 1:1:1:7, 1:1:1:11, and 1:1:1:14. For the traditional ABC stock solutions see Chapter 6: Pyrogallol and Pyrocatechin.
