ASTM D1882 – Standard Test Method for Foaming Tendencies of Engine Coolants in Glassware Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test method generally will distinguish coolants that have a tendency to foam excessively from those that are suitable for further evaluation to determine performance in actual service. NOTE 1: In use, the foaming tendency of a coolant …
ASTM D1777 – Standard Test Method for Thickness of Textile Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments since current estimates of between-laboratory precision are acceptable, and this test method is used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from …
ASTM D1683 – Standard Test Method for Failure in Sewn Seams of Woven Fabrics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The manufacturing of textile products uses seam engineering to determine the best combination of sewing thread, stitch type, seam type, and stitch density to construct the end use structure. These four seam engineering variables contribute to a …
ASTM D1653 – Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Organic Coating Films Description: Significance and Use 5.1 One of the factors affecting the performance provided by an organic coating is its capability of resisting or aiding the passage of water vapor. In some services, for example, exterior wood and masonry, the coating has to …
ASTM D1623 – Standard Test Method for Tensile and Tensile Adhesion Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics Description: Abstract This test method establishes standard procedure for determining the tensile and tensile adhesion properties of rigid cellular plastics in the form of test specimens of standard shape under defined conditions of temperature, humidity, and testing machine speed. …
ASTM D1601 – Standard Test Method for Dilute Solution Viscosity of Ethylene Polymers Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The knowledge of dilute solution viscosity serves as an additional tool in characterizing ethylene polymers. Viscosity data alone is potentially a limited value in predicting the processing behavior of the polymer. However, when used in conjunction with other …
ASTM D1596 – Standard Test Method for Dynamic Shock Cushioning Characteristics of Packaging Material Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Dynamic cushioning test data obtained by this test method are applicable to the cushioning material and not necessarily the same as obtained in a package. In addition to the influence of the package, the data can also …
ASTM D1544 – Standard Test Method for Color of Transparent Liquids (Gardner Color Scale) Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method applies to drying oils, varnishes, fatty acids, polymerized fatty acids, and resin solutions. Its application to other materials has not been tested. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the color of transparent …
ASTM D1505 – Standard Test Method for Density of Plastics by the Density-Gradient Technique Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The density of a solid is a conveniently measurable property which is frequently useful as a means of following physical changes in a sample, as an indication of uniformity among samples, and a means of identification. 4.2 This …
ASTM E1461 – Standard Test Method for Moisture or Volatile Distillates in Asphalt Mixtures Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is used for determining either the amount of moisture or the amount of volatile petroleum distillates in asphalt mixtures. 3.2 Applicable standards are those in which measurements or calibrations are made, samples are procured, or …
