ASTM D1264 – Standard Test Method for Determining the Water Washout Characteristics of Lubricating Greases Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method estimates the resistance of greases to water washout from ball bearings under conditions of the test. No correlation with field service has been established. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the evaluation of the …
ASTM D1263 – Standard Test Method for Leakage Tendencies of Automotive Wheel Bearing Greases (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use The test method provides a screening device that permits differentiation among products having distinctly different leakage characteristics (Note 1). It is not the equivalent of longtime service tests, nor is it intended to distinguish between wheel …
ASTM D1259 – Standard Test Methods for Nonvolatile Content of Resin Solutions Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The nonvolatile content of resin solutions is useful to coatings producers and users for the determination of the total solids available for film formation and for the estimation of the volatile organic content. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the …
ASTM D1253 – Standard Test Method for Residual Chlorine in Water Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Chlorine is used to destroy or deactivate a variety of unwanted chemicals and microorganisms in water and wastewater. 5.2 An uncontrolled excess of chlorine in water, whether free available or combined, can adversely affect the subsequent use of the water. Scope …
ASTM D1248 – Standard Specification for Polyethylene Plastics Extrusion Materials for Wire and Cable Description: Abstract This specification provides for the identification of polyethylene plastics extrusion materials for wire and cable in such a manner that the seller and the purchaser can agree on the acceptability of different commercial lots or shipments. The polyethylene plastics …
ASTM D1246 – Standard Test Method for Bromide Ion in Water Description: Significance and Use 5.1 By analysis for bromide in water, wastewater, and brackish waters, it is possible to evaluate the origin of the water, its potential as a source of bromide, and its condition with regard to pollution. Scope 1.1 This test method is applicable …
ASTM D1243 – Standard Test Method for Dilute Solution Viscosity of Vinyl Chloride Polymers Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Dilute solution viscosity values for vinyl chloride polymers are related to the average molecular size of that portion of the polymer that dissolves in the solvent. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the dilute solution …
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 …
