ASTM D7771 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Benzo-α-Pyrene (BaP) Content in Carbon Black Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test procedure is used to determine the concentration of BaP extracted from carbon black by the means of a Soxhlet extraction apparatus with toluene. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the qualitative and quantitative determination of …
ASTM D7504 – Standard Test Method for Trace Impurities in Monocyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Gas Chromatography and Effective Carbon Number Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Determining the type and amount of hydrocarbon impurities remaining from the manufacture of toluene, mixed xylenes, p-xylene, o-xylene, ethylbenzene, benzene, and styrene used as chemical intermediates and solvents is often required. This test …
ASTM D7395 – Standard Test Method for Cone/Plate Viscosity at a 500 s-1 Shear Rate Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test has been used to measure viscosities of automotive topcoats in place of No. 4 Ford cup measurements and has provided an equivalent ability to evaluate whether the paint meets specifications and is sprayable. 4.2 The method …
ASTM D7359 – Standard Test Method for Total Fluorine, Chlorine and Sulfur in Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Their Mixtures by Oxidative Pyrohydrolytic Combustion followed by Ion Chromatography Detection (Combustion Ion Chromatography-CIC) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The total fluorine, chlorine, and sulfur contained in aromatic hydrocarbon matrices can contribute to emissions, be harmful to many catalytic chemical …
ASTM D7094 – Standard Test Method for Flash Point by Modified Continuously Closed Cup (MCCCFP) Tester Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The flash point temperature is one measure of the tendency of the test specimen to form a flammable mixture with air under controlled laboratory conditions. It is only one of a number of properties which …
ASTM D6988 – Standard Guide for Determination of Thickness of Plastic Film Test Specimens Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This guide is intended to provide recommendations and suggested good practices to determine precise dimensions when necessary for the calculation of properties expressed in physical units. It is not intended to replace practical thickness measurements based on …
ASTM D6797 – Standard Test Method for Bursting Strength of Fabrics Constant-Rate-of-Extension (CRE) Ball Burst Test Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This method is used to determine the force required to rupture textile fabric by forcing a steel ball through the fabric with a constant-rate-of-extension tensile tester. 5.2 This is a new method and therefore the history …
ASTM D6775 – Standard Test Method for Breaking Strength and Elongation of Textile Webbing, Tape and Braided Material Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method can be used for acceptance testing of commercial shipments but comparisons should be made with caution because estimates of between-laboratory precision are incomplete. 5.1.1 If there are differences of practical significance …
ASTM D6770 – Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Webbing (Hex Bar Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The measurement of the resistance to abrasion of textile webbing is very complex. The resistance to abrasion is affected by many factors that include the inherent mechanical properties of the fibers; the dimensions of the fibers; …
ASTM D6732 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Copper in Jet Fuels by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Description: Significance and Use 5.1 At high temperatures aviation turbine fuels can oxidize and produce insoluble deposits that are detrimental to aircraft propulsion systems. Very low copper concentrations (in excess of 50 μg/kg) can significantly accelerate this thermal …
