ASTM D4517 – Standard Test Method for Low-Level Total Silica in High-Purity Water by Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Control of silica in boiler feedwater and boiler water is necessary to minimize the formation of scale-forming silicates that decrease heat transfer in the boiler. Volatilization and carryover of silica with the steam …
ASTM D4513 – Standard Test Method for Particle Size Distribution of Catalytic Materials by Sieving Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method can be used to determine particle size distributions of catalysts and supports for materials specifications, manufacturing control, and research and development work. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of particle size distribution …
ASTM D4511 – Standard Test Method for Hydraulic Conductivity of Essentially Saturated Peat Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Values of hydraulic conductivity determined by this test method may be useful in making rough preliminary estimates of the initial rates of drainage and compression of peat deposits when the only effective stress increase on the deposit is …
ASTM D4505 – Standard Specification for Preformed Retroreflective Pavement Marking Tape for Extended Service Life Description: Abstract This specification covers white or yellow preformed retroreflective pavement marking tape, that when applied to a road surface, will provide a service life normally greater than one year depending on the average daily traffic count (ADT). The preformed …
ASTM D4501 – Standard Test Method for Shear Strength of Adhesive Bonds Between Rigid Substrates by the Block-Shear Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides an estimate of the shear strength of an adhesive on various machinable and nonmachinable substrate materials. It is particularly applicable for testing bonds between ceramic, glass, magnet moldings, …
ASTM D4496 – Standard Test Method for D-C Resistance or Conductance of Moderately Conductive Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for the comparison of materials, as a quality control test, and for specification purposes. 5.2 This test method is useful in the selection and use of materials in wires, cables, bushings, high-voltage …
ASTM D4492 – Standard Test Method for Analysis of Benzene by Gas Chromatography (Withdrawn 2018) Description: Significance and Use This test method is suitable for determining the concentrations of known impurities in finished benzene and for use as an integral quality control tool where benzene is either produced or used in a manufacturing procedure. It …
ASTM D4491 – Standard Test Methods for Water Permeability of Geotextiles by Permittivity Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of geotextiles since the methods have been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences in reported test …
ASTM D449 – Standard Specification for Asphalt Used in Dampproofing and Waterproofing Description: Abstract This specification covers three types of asphalt suitable for use as a mopping coat in dampproofing; or as a plying or mopping cement in the construction of membrane waterproofing systems with felts, fabrics, and asphalt-impregnated glass mat. Three types of asphalts …
ASTM D4488 – Standard Guide for Testing Cleaning Performance of Products Intended for Use on Resilient Flooring and Washable Walls (Withdrawn 2009) Description: Significance and Use This guide suggests methodology for cleaning tests. Soil/substrate combinations are generally designed to be analogous to soiled surfaces commonly encountered. This methodology can be used with most soil/substrate combinations. …
