ASTM D1242 – Standard Test Methods for Resistance of Plastic Materials to Abrasion (Withdrawn 2004) Description: Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the resistance to abrasion of flat surfaces of plastic materials, measured in terms of volume loss, by two different types of abrasion-testing machines, as follows: 1.1.1 Test Method A- Loose …
ASTM D1240 – Standard Test Methods for Rosin Acids Content of Pine Chemicals, Including Rosin, Tall Oil, and Related Products Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This is a revision of the method for measuring rosin acids content combines the three major ways of determining the rosin acids content of pine chemicals products into a single method. …
ASTM D1238 – Standard Test Method for Melt Flow Rates of Thermoplastics by Extrusion Plastometer Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is particularly useful for quality control tests on thermoplastics. 5.2 The data produced by this test method serves to indicate the uniformity of the flow rate of the polymer as made by an individual …
ASTM D1230 – Standard Test Method for Flammability of Apparel Textiles Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Test Method D1230 cannot be recommended for the acceptance testing of commercial shipments since Federal regulations require apparel fabrics to meet the criteria of 16 CFR Part 1610 and correlation of test results with actual performance has not been established. …
ASTM D1229 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Compression Set at Low Temperatures Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Rubber products, such as hydraulic seals on aircraft, submarine hatch gaskets, and hydraulic brake cups, may be exposed to varying temperature extremes. This test method provides a means of determining the extent to which recovery from compression at …
ASTM D1218 – Standard Test Method for Refractive Index and Refractive Dispersion of Hydrocarbon Liquids Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Refractive index and refractive dispersion are fundamental physical properties, which can be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of refractive index, accurate …
ASTM D1217 – Standard Test Method for Density and Relative Density (Specific Gravity) of Liquids by Bingham Pycnometer Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Density is a fundamental physical property which can be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures. 5.2 This test method was originally developed for the determination of the …
ASTM D1214 – Standard Test Method for Sieve Analysis of Glass Spheres Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The size or gradation of glass spheres is one measurable aspect of performance as a retroreflective media. The function of this test is to measure the size of glass spheres and to determine compliance with applicable specifications. NOTE 1: This …
ASTM D1213 – Test Method for Crushing Resistance of Glass Spheres (Intent to Withdraw) (Withdrawn 1983)
ASTM D1212 – Standard Test Methods for Measurement of Wet Film Thickness of Organic Coatings Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Wet film thickness measurements aid in the prediction of dry film thickness. In instances where dry film thickness cannot be measured nondestructively, wet film thickness is frequently specified. Also, the ability to determine wet film thickness …
