ASTM D4377 – Standard Test Method for Water in Crude Oils by Potentiometric Karl Fischer Titration (Withdrawn 2020) Description: Significance and Use A knowledge of the water content of crude oil is important in the refining, purchase, sale, or transfer of crude oils. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of water in the …
ASTM D4373 – Standard Test Method for Rapid Determination of Carbonate Content of Soils Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used to determine the presence and quantity of carbonate in a soil or soft rock specimen in terms of the calcite equivalent. The method is generally intended for use as an index of …
ASTM D4367 – Standard Test Method for Benzene in Hydrocarbon Solvents by Gas Chromatography Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Benzene is classed as a toxic and carcinogenic material. A knowledge of the concentration of this compound may be an aid in evaluating the possible health hazards to persons handling and using hydrocarbon solvents, but this test …
ASTM D4365 – Standard Test Method for Determining Micropore Volume and Zeolite Area of a Catalyst Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This gas adsorption method complements the X-ray procedure of Test Method D3906. This test method will be useful to laboratories that do not have X-ray diffractometers. Each test method can be calibrated by use of an …
ASTM D4359 – Standard Test Method for Determining Whether a Material Is a Liquid or a Solid Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Compliance with regulations often requires the determination of whether a material is a liquid or a solid. A similar test is used by the U.S. Department of Transportation for this purpose. Scope 1.1 This test …
ASTM D4355 – Standard Test Method for Deterioration of Geotextiles by Exposure to Light, Moisture, and Heat in a Xenon Arc-Type Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This method is intended to induce property changes associated with end-use conditions, including the effects of solar radiation, moisture, and heat. The exposure used is not intended to simulate …
ASTM D4340 – Standard Test Method for Corrosion of Cast Aluminum Alloys in Engine Coolants Under Heat-Rejecting Conditions Description: Significance and Use 4.1 It is essential that engine coolants prevent heat-transfer corrosion of aluminum cylinder heads during engine operation. Any corrosion products formed may deposit on interior radiator surfaces, reducing heat-transfer efficiency of the radiator. Overheating …
ASTM D434 – Standard Test Method for Resistance to Slippage of Yarns in Woven Fabrics Using a Standard Seam (Withdrawn 2004) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the resistance to slippage of filling yarns over warp yarns, or warp yarns over filling yarns, using a standard seam. 1.2 This test method …
ASTM D4332 – Standard Practice for Conditioning Containers, Packages, or Packaging Components for Testing Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Many materials from which containers and packages are made, especially cellulosic materials, undergo changes in physical properties as the temperature and the relative humidity (RH) to which they are exposed are varied. Therefore, the package should be …
ASTM D4329 – Standard Practice for Fluorescent Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp Apparatus Exposure of Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The ability of a plastic material to resist deterioration caused by exposure to light, heat, and water is a property of significance in many applications. This practice is intended to induce property changes associated with end-use conditions, …
