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 …
ASTM D6667 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Total Volatile Sulfur in Gaseous Hydrocarbons and Liquefied Petroleum Gases by Ultraviolet Fluorescence Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The sulfur content of LPG, used for fuel purposes, contributes to SOx emissions and can lead to corrosion in engine and exhaust systems. Some process catalysts used in petroleum …
ASTM D6463 – Standard Test Method for Time to Failure of Pressure Sensitive Articles Under Sustained Shear Loading Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method measures the cohesive strength of the adhesive on a pressure sensitive article. The time to failure can predict end use properties of pressure sensitive articles such as edge ooze from …
ASTM D6442 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Copper Release Rate From Antifouling Coatings in Substitute Ocean Water Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is designed to provide a laboratory procedure to quantify and characterize the release rates of copper from antifouling coatings in substitute ocean water over a period of immersion under …
ASTM D6194 – Standard Test Method for Glow-Wire Ignition of Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 During operation of electrical equipment, including wires, resistors, and other conductors, it is possible for overheating to occur under certain conditions of operation, or when malfunctions occur. When this happens, a possible result is ignition of the adjacent insulation material. …
ASTM D6184 – Standard Test Method for Oil Separation from Lubricating Grease (Conical Sieve Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 When lubricating grease separates oil, the residual material may change in consistency, which can affect the ability of the product to function as designed. Test results obtained with this procedure are not intended to predict oil …
ASTM D6181 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Turbidity in Mineral Insulating Oil of Petroleum Origin (Withdrawn 2012) Description: Significance and Use This test method uses a ratio turbidimetric optical system to measure the turbidity of insulating oils relative to turbidity standards. Cloudiness or turbidity is attributed to matter whose diameter is approximately 20 …
ASTM D6107 – Standard Specification for Stop-Leak Additive for Engine Coolants Used in Light Duty Service Description: Abstract This specification covers the requirements of a stop-leak additive to function effectively in automobile and light duty service. The stop-leak is intended to seal small leaks in engine cooling systems without adversely affecting heat transfer and fluid …
ASTM D6007 – Standard Test Method for Determining Formaldehyde Concentrations in Air from Wood Products Using a Small-Scale Chamber Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Upper limits for the formaldehyde emission rates have been established for wood panel building products made with urea-formaldehyde adhesives and permanently installed in homes or used as components in kitchen cabinets and …
