ASTM D5209 – Standard Test Method for Determining the Aerobic Biodegradation of Plastic Materials in the Presence of Municipal Sewage Sludge (Withdrawn 2004) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the degree and rate of aerobic biodegradation of synthetic plastic materials (including formulation additives that may be biodegradable) on exposure to activated-sewage …
ASTM D5208 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Diffusivity by the Flash Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Materials made from photodegradable plastics are intended to show relatively rapid deterioration of chemical, physical, and mechanical properties when exposed to light, heat, and water after fulfilling their intended purpose. This practice is intended to induce property changes …
ASTM D5206 – Standard Test Method for Windload Resistance of Rigid Plastic Siding Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is a standard procedure for determining windload resistance of rigid plastic siding under specified uniform static pressure difference. This typically is intended to represent the effects of wind loads on exterior building surfaces. The actual …
ASTM D5201 – Standard Practice for Calculating Formulation Physical Constants of Paints and Coatings Description: Scope 1.1 This practice covers procedures commonly used in the paint industry to formulate paints and coating materials. It describes procedures for calculating formulation values for weight solids, volume solids, solvent content, volatile organic compound (VOC) content, hazardous air pollutant …
ASTM D5200 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Weight Percent Volatile Content of Solvent-Borne Paints in Aerosol Cans Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is the procedure of choice for determining the volatile content in aerosol coatings under specified test conditions modeled after Method 35.4 The inverse value, nonvolatile, is used to determine the weight …
ASTM D5199 – Standard Test Method for Measuring the Nominal Thickness of Geosynthetics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Thickness is one of the basic physical properties used to control the quality of many geosynthetics. Thickness values can be required for calculation of some geosynthetics properties such as permeability and tensile stress, among others. 5.2 The thickness of …
ASTM D5198 – Standard Practice for Nitric Acid Digestion of Solid Waste Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A knowledge of the inorganic composition of a waste is often required for the selection of appropriate waste disposal practices. Solid waste may exist in a variety of forms and contain a range of organic and inorganic constituents. This …
ASTM D5194 – Standard Test Method for Trace Chloride in Liquid Aromatic Hydrocarbons Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Organic and inorganic chlorine compounds can have a deleterious effect on equipment and reactions in processes involving aromatic hydrocarbons. 4.2 Maximum chloride levels are often specified for process streams and for aromatic hydrocarbon products. Scope 1.1 This test method covers …
ASTM D5191 – Standard Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Products and Liquid Fuels (Mini Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Vapor pressure is a very important physical property of volatile liquids. 5.2 The vapor pressure of gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends is regulated by various government agencies. 5.3 Specifications for volatile petroleum products generally include vapor pressure …
ASTM D5190 – Standard Test Method for Vapor Pressure of Petroleum Products (Automatic Method) (Withdrawn 2012) Description: Significance and Use Vapor pressure is an important physical property of volatile liquids. The vapor pressure of gasoline and gasoline-oxygenate blends is regulated by various government agencies. Specifications for volatile petroleum products generally include vapor pressure limits to …
