ASTM D1025 – Standard Test Method for Nonvolatile Residue of Polymerization-Grade Butadiene Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is used to determine if there is any heavy material in the butadiene. It is possible that these materials could be deleterious to a polymerization reaction. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of nonvolatile material …
ASTM D1018 – Standard Test Method for Hydrogen In Petroleum Fractions (Withdrawn 2021) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Knowledge of the hydrogen content of petroleum products, particularly fuels, can be helpful in assessing performance characteristics. 4.2 This test method is suitable for most laboratory applications requiring the determination of hydrogen in liquid petroleum lubricants and products. Scope …
ASTM D1016 – Standard Test Method for Purity of Hydrocarbons from Freezing Points (Withdrawn 2019) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The experimental procedures and physical constants provided by this test method, when used in conjunction with Test Method D1015, allow the determination of the purity of the material under test. A knowledge of the purity of these …
ASTM D1015 – Standard Test Method for Freezing Points of High-Purity Hydrocarbons (Withdrawn 2019) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The freezing point measured by this test method, when used in conjunction with the physical constants for the hydrocarbons listed in Test Method D1016, allows the determination of the purity of the material under test. A knowledge of …
ASTM D1014- Standard Practice for Conducting Exterior Exposure Tests of Paints and Coatings on Metal Substrates Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The procedures described in this practice are intended to aid in evaluating the performance of coatings on various metal panels including either new or rusted steel. 4.2 The relative durability of paints in outdoor exposures can …
ASTM A923 – Standard Test Methods for Detecting Detrimental Intermetallic Phase in Duplex Austenitic/Ferritic Stainless Steels Description: Abstract These test methods cover the detection of detrimental intermetallic phase in duplex austenitic/ferritic stainless steel to the extent that toughness and corrosion resistance is affected significantly. These test methods will not necessarily detect losses of toughness or …
ASTM D1006 – Standard Practice for Conducting Exterior Exposure Tests of Hand and Factory Applied Paints on Wood and Wood Composite Materials Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The procedure described in this practice is intended to aid in evaluating the performance of house and trim paints to new, previously unpainted wood. 4.2 The relative durability of paints …
ASTM D1005 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thickness of Organic Coatings Using Micrometers Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is particularly applicable to the measurement of free films and is also satisfactory for the measurement of films on laboratory test panels. 3.2 The accuracy and precision of the thickness measurements may be …
ASTM D1004 – Standard Test Method for Tear Resistance (Graves Tear) of Plastic Film and Sheeting Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Tear resistance of plastic film or sheeting is a complex function of its ultimate resistance to rupture. The specimen geometry and speed of testing in this test method are controlled to produce tearing in a …
ASTM D1003 – Standard Test Method for Haze and Luminous Transmittance of Transparent Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Light that is scattered upon passing through a film or sheet of a material can produce a hazy or smoky field when objects are viewed through the material. Another effect can be veiling glare, as occurs in …
