ASTM D115 – Standard Test Methods for Testing Solvent Containing Varnishes Used for Electrical Insulation Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Control—The following tests are useful for control purposes during the manufacture and use of varnishes, and for determining the uniformity of batches: 4.1.1 Specific gravity, 4.1.2 Viscosity, 4.1.3 Flash point, and 4.1.4 Nonvolatile matter by weight. 4.2 Performance—The following tests are …
ASTM D1149 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Deterioration—Cracking in an Ozone Controlled Environment Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The significance of these test methods lies in the ability to differentiate between the degrees of ozone resistance under the limited and specified conditions of the accelerated tests. The degree of resistance being judged by the appearance …
ASTM D1148 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Deterioration—Discoloration from Ultraviolet (UV) or UV/Visible Radiation and Heat Exposure of Light-Colored Surfaces Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The surface of white or light-colored vulcanized rubber articles, or vulcanized rubber covered with an organic finish, may discolor when exposed to conditions of humidity, or moisture, heat, and sunlight. …
ASTM D1142 – Standard Test Method for Water Vapor Content of Gaseous Fuels by Measurement of Dew-Point Temperature Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Generally, contracts governing the pipeline transmission of natural gas contain specifications limiting the maximum concentration of water vapor allowed. Excess water vapor can cause corrosive conditions, degrading pipelines and equipment. It can also …
ASTM D1140 – Standard Test Methods for Determining the Amount of Material Finer than 75-μm (No. 200) Sieve in Soils by Washing Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Material finer than the 75-μm (No. 200) sieve can be separated from larger particles or soil aggregations can be broken down much more efficiently and completely by wet sieving …
ASTM D1133 – Standard Test Method for Kauri-Butanol Value of Hydrocarbon Solvents Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The kauri-butanol value is used as a measure of solvent power of hydrocarbon solvents. High kauri-butanol values indicate relatively strong solvency. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative solvent power of hydrocarbon solvents used in paint …
ASTM D1131 – Standard Test Methods of Testing Rosin Oils (Withdrawn 2003) Description: Scope 1.1 These test methods are intended for use in determining whether a rosin oil conforms with the specifications and requirements usually applied to ensure its suitability for a particular use. In general, not all of the tests will be required to …
ASTM D113 – Standard Test Method for Ductility of Asphalt Materials Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides one measure of tensile properties of asphalt materials and may be used to measure ductility for specification requirements. NOTE 1: The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel …
ASTM D1126 – Standard Test Method for Hardness in Water Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Hardness salts in water, notably calcium and magnesium, are the primary cause of tube and pipe scaling, which frequently causes failures and loss of process efficiency due to clogging or loss of heat transfer, or both. 5.2 Hardness is caused by any …
ASTM D1125 – Standard Test Methods for Electrical Conductivity and Resistivity of Water Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods are applicable for such purposes as impurity detection and, in some cases, the quantitative measurement of ionic constituents dissolved in waters. These include dissolved electrolytes in natural and treated waters, such as boiler water, boiler …
