ASTM D1177 – Standard Test Method for Freezing Point of Aqueous Engine Coolants Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The freezing point of an engine coolant indicates the coolant freeze protection. 5.2 The freezing point of an engine coolant may be used to determine the approximate glycol or glycerin content, provided the glycol type is known. Scope 1.1 This …
ASTM D1067 – Standard Test Methods for Acidity or Alkalinity of Water Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Acidity and alkalinity measurements are used to assist in establishing levels of chemical treatment to control scale, corrosion, and other adverse chemical equilibria. 4.2 Levels of acidity or alkalinity are critical in establishing solubilities of some metals, toxicity of some …
ASTM D1056 – Standard Specification for Flexible Cellular Materials—Sponge or Expanded Rubber Description: Abstract This specification covers flexible cellular rubber products known as sponge rubber and expanded rubber, but does not apply to latex foam rubber or ebonite cellular rubber. The base material for an open/closed cellular product may be made of synthetic, natural, or …
ASTM D848 – Standard Test Method for Acid Wash Color of Industrial Aromatic Hydrocarbons Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is suitable for setting specifications on the materials referenced in 1.1. It may also be used as an internal quality control tool and in development or research work. 5.2 The color developed in the acid layer …
ASTM D828 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Paper and Paperboard Using Constant-Rate-of-Elongation Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The tensile properties measured in this test method are fundamental properties associated with the manufacture, or end use, or both, of paper and paper products. It is possible for products to be influenced by, or …
ASTM D792 – Standard Test Methods for Density and Specific Gravity (Relative Density) of Plastics by Displacement Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The specific gravity or density of a solid is a property that is conveniently measured to identify a material, to follow physical changes in a sample, to indicate degree of uniformity among different sampling …
ASTM D785 – Standard Test Method for Rockwell Hardness of Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materials Description: Significance and Use 4.1 A Rockwell hardness number is a number derived from the net increase in depth impression as the load on an indenter is increased from a fixed minor load to a major load and then returned to …
ASTM D746 – Standard Test Method for Brittleness Temperature of Plastics and Elastomers by Impact Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method establishes the temperature at which 50 % of the specimens tested would probably fail when subjected to the conditions specified herein. The test provides for the evaluation of long-time effects such as crystallization, or …
ASTM D664 – Standard Test Method for Acid Number of Petroleum Products by Potentiometric Titration Description: Significance and Use 5.1 New and used petroleum products, biodiesel, and blends of biodiesel may contain acidic constituents that are present as additives or as degradation products formed during service, such as oxidation products. The relative amount of these materials …
ASTM D638 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is designed to produce tensile property data for the control and specification of plastic materials. These data are also useful for qualitative characterization and for research and development. 4.2 Some material specifications that require the use of this …
