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 …
ASTM D1210 – Standard Test Method for Fineness of Dispersion of Pigment-Vehicle Systems by Hegman-Type Gage Description: Significance and Use 4.1 In making pigmented products, the pigment is usually dispersed in a portion of the vehicle in some sort of mill. At this stage, it is necessary to be able to judge if the pigment agglomerates …
ASTM D1209 – Standard Test Method for Color of Clear Liquids (Platinum-Cobalt Scale) Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The property of color of a solvent varies in importance with the application for which it is intended, the amount of color that can be tolerated being dependent on the color characteristics of the material in which it …
ASTM D1204 – Standard Test Method for Linear Dimensional Changes of Nonrigid Thermoplastic Sheeting or Film at Elevated Temperature Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is particularly applicable to nonrigid thermoplastic sheeting or film made by the calender or extrusion process. The test gives an indication of lot-to-lot uniformity in regards to the degree …
ASTM D1203 – Standard Test Methods for Volatile Loss from Plastics Using Activated Carbon Methods Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The test methods are intended to be rapid empirical tests which have been found to be useful in the relative comparison of materials having the same nominal thickness. NOTE 2: When the plastic material contains plasticizer, loss …
ASTM D1200- Standard Test Method for Viscosity by Ford Viscosity Cup Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for the determination of package and application viscosities of a number of paints and other coatings and in the thinning of these materials, but is limited to Newtonian or near-Newtonian liquids. 5.2 There are other types …
ASTM D120 – Standard Specification for Rubber Insulating Gloves Description: Abstract This specification covers manufacturing and testing of rubber insulating gloves for protection of workers from electrical shock. Two types of gloves are provided and are designated as Type I, non-resistant to ozone, and Type II, resistant to ozone. Six classes of gloves, differing in …
ASTM D1193 – Standard Specification for Reagent Water Description: Abstract This specification describes the required characteristics of reagent waters. Four types of waters have been specified, with three additional grades that can be applied to the four types. The grade specifications specifically address contaminants of microbiological origin. Historically, reagent water types I, II, III, and …
ASTM D1186 – Standard Test Methods for Nondestructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied to a Ferrous Base (Withdrawn 2006) Description: Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the nondestructive measurement of the dry film thickness of nonmagnetic coatings applied over a ferrous base material using commercially available test instruments. The test methods …
ASTM D1183 – Standard Practices for Resistance of Adhesives to Cyclic Laboratory Aging Conditions Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These practices provide information on the resistance to cyclic laboratory aging. Scope 1.1 These practices cover the determination of the resistance of adhesives to cyclic accelerated service conditions by exposing bonded specimens to conditions of high and low …
