ASTM D4567 – Standard Test Method for Single-Point Determination of Specific Surface Area of Catalysts and Catalyst Carriers Using Nitrogen Adsorption by Continuous Flow Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for determining the specific surface area of catalysts and catalyst carriers for material specifications, manufacturing control, and research and development in …
ASTM D455 – Standard Specification for Milled Toilet Soap (Withdrawn 2000) Description: Scope 1.1 This specification covers milled toilet soap.
ASTM D4546 – Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Swell or Collapse of Soils Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The wetting-induced swell/collapse strains measured from Test Methods A and B can be used to develop estimates of heave or settlement of a confined soil profile (1-4).4 They can also be used to estimate the magnitudes of the swell pressure …
ASTM D4541 – Standard Test Method for Pull-Off Strength of Coatings Using Portable Adhesion Testers Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The pull-off strength of a coating is a performance property that may be referenced in specifications. This test method serves as a means for uniformly preparing and testing coated surfaces, and evaluating and reporting the results. …
ASTM D454 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Deterioration by Heat and Air Pressure Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Rubber and rubber products must resist the deterioration of physical properties with time caused by oxidative and thermal aging. This test method allows these performance properties to be determined under the accelerated conditions of high air pressure …
ASTM D4539 – Standard Test Method for Filterability of Diesel Fuels by Low-Temperature Flow Test (LTFT) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The Low Temperature Flow Test results are indicative of the low temperature flow performance of the test fuel in some diesel vehicles (according to CRC Report No. 528). The test method is especially useful for …
ASTM D4533 – Standard Test Method for Trapezoid Tearing Strength of Geotextiles Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The trapezoid tear method is a test that produces tension along a reasonably defined course such that the tear propagates across the width of the specimen. The trapezoid tearing strength for woven fabrics is determined primarily by the properties …
ASTM D4530 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Carbon Residue (Micro Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The carbon residue value of the various petroleum materials serves as an approximation of the tendency of the material to form carbonaceous type deposits under degradation conditions similar to those used in the test method, and can be …
ASTM D4529 – Standard Test Method for Estimation of Net Heat of Combustion of Aviation Fuels Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is intended for use as a guide in cases where an experimental determination of heat of combustion is not available and cannot be made conveniently, and where an estimate is considered satisfactory. …
ASTM D4525 – Standard Test Method for Permeability of Rocks by Flowing Air (Withdrawn 2022) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to measure the permeability to air of a small sample of rock. By extrapolation, this test method also determines an equivalent of the liquid permeability. This parameter is used to calculate …
