ASTM D3330 – Standard Test Method for Peel Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tape Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are tools for quality assurance use. Given specific pressure-sensitive tape and a requirement in terms of the minimum or maximum peel value expected for this tape, the data from the test can be used in conjunction …
ASTM D3285 – Standard Test Method for Water Absorptiveness of Nonbibulous Paper and Paperboard (Cobb Test) (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use Water absorptiveness is a function of various characteristics of paper or board, including sizing, porosity, and fiber composition. This test method is useful in comparing various sheets or nonbibulous (not highly absorbent) paper …
ASTM D3171 – Standard Test Methods for Constituent Content of Composite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A constituent content of a composite material must be known in order to analytically model the material properties (mechanical, physical, thermal, or electrical) of the composite which are affected by the reinforcement or matrix. Also, knowledge of the constituent …
ASTM D3147 – Standard Test Method for Testing Stop-Leak Additives for Engine Coolants Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The screening procedures simulate the conditions of temperature, pressure, and circulation encountered in service. This test method will indicate whether a product is suitable for further evaluation in vehicles. Scope 1.1 This test method covers screening procedures for the …
ASTM D3039 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to produce tensile property data for material specifications, research and development, quality assurance, and structural design and analysis. Factors that influence the tensile response and should therefore be reported include the following: …
ASTM D2979 – Standard Test Method for Pressure-Sensitive Tack of Adhesives Using an Inverted Probe Machine (Withdrawn 2019) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a quantitative measure of the pressure-sensitive tack of the adhesive. 5.2 The method is designed for the adhesive mass itself and is suitable for measuring the tack of pressure-sensitive adhesives …
ASTM D2879 – Standard Test Method for Vapor Pressure-Temperature Relationship and Initial Decomposition Temperature of Liquids by Isoteniscope Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The vapor pressure of a substance as determined by isoteniscope reflects a property of the sample as received including most volatile components, but excluding dissolved fixed gases such as air. Vapor pressure, per se, …
ASTM D2794 – Standard Test Method for Resistance of Organic Coatings to the Effects of Rapid Deformation (Impact) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Coatings attached to substrates are subjected to damaging impacts during the manufacture of articles and their use in service. In its use over many years, this test method for impact resistance has been …
ASTM D2765 – Standard Test Methods for Determination of Gel Content and Swell Ratio of Crosslinked Ethylene Plastics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Many important properties of crosslinked ethylene plastics vary with the gel content. Hence, determination of the gel content provides a means of both controlling the process and rating the quality of finished products. …
ASTM D2717 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity of Liquids (Withdrawn 2018) Description: Significance and Use The thermal conductivity of a substance is a measure of the ability of that substance to transfer energy as heat in the absence of mass transport phenomena. It is used in engineering calculations that relate to the manner …
