ASTM F2913 – Standard Test Method for Measuring the Coefficient of Friction for Evaluation of Slip Performance of Footwear and Test Surfaces/Flooring Using a Whole Shoe Tester Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This non-proprietary laboratory test method allows for the reproducible testing of whole footwear and footwear-related soling materials for evaluating relative slip performance. Other ASTM …
ASTM F2892 – Standard Specification for Performance Requirements for Soft Toe Protective Footwear (Non-Safety / Non-Protective Toe) Description: Abstract This specification provides certification of protective footwear. It includes performance requirements for footwear to protect workers’ feet from a variety of workplace hazards. Scope 1.1 The principal purpose of this specification is the certification of protective footwear. …
ASTM F1249 – Standard Test Method for Water Vapor Transmission Rate Through Plastic Film and Sheeting Using a Modulated Infrared Sensor Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The purpose of this test method is to obtain reliable values for the WVTR of plastic film and sheeting. 5.2 WVTR is an important property of packaging materials and can often …
ASTM F1927 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Oxygen Gas Transmission Rate, Permeability and Permeance at Controlled Relative Humidity Through Barrier Materials Using a Coulometric Detector Description: Significance and Use 5.1 O2GTR at a given temperature and %RH is an important determinant of the packaging protection afforded by barrier materials. It is not, however the …
ASTM F1677 – Standard Test Method for Using a Portable Inclineable Articulated Strut Slip Tester (PIAST) (Withdrawn 2006) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the operational procedures for using a portable inclinable articulated strut slip tester (PIAST) for determining the slip resistance of footwear sole, heel, or related materials (test feet) against planar walkway …
ASTM F1575 – Standard Test Method for Determining Bending Yield Moment of Nails Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Nails are a common mechanical fastener in wood structures. Engineering design procedures used to determine the capacities of laterally-loaded nailed connections currently use a yield theory to establish the nominal resistance for laterally-loaded nailed connections that are engineered. …
ASTM F1110 – Standard Test Method for Sandwich Corrosion Test Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The data generated by this test method shall be used to determine whether aircraft structural aluminum alloys are liable to be corroded or damaged by application of the test material during routine maintenance operations. 5.2 Interpretation of the sandwich corrosion test results …
ASTM F483 – Standard Practice for Total Immersion Corrosion Test for Aircraft Maintenance Chemicals Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Many aircraft maintenance chemicals are used on components and structures which would be adversely affected by excessive dimensional change. This practice screens these chemicals to ensure compliance with specified weight change criteria. Scope 1.1 This practice covers the …
ASTM F945 – Standard Test Method for Stress-Corrosion of Titanium Alloys by Aircraft Engine Cleaning Materials Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Because of the tendency of prestressed titanium alloy parts to crack if heated while in contact with certain chemical reagents, it is necessary to ensure that cleaning and maintenance materials will not initiate stress corrosion …
ASTM D5045 – Standard Test Methods for Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness and Strain Energy Release Rate of Plastic Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The property KIc (GIc) determined by these test methods characterizes the resistance of a material to fracture in a neutral environment in the presence of a sharp crack under severe tensile constraint, such that the …
