ASTM D4236 – Standard Practice for Labeling Art Materials for Chronic Health Hazards Description: Abstract This practice describes the standard procedure for developing precautionary labels for art materials to provide chronic health hazard and precautionary statements based on knowledge that exists in the scientific and medical communities. These statements concern hazards known to be associated …
ASTM D4230 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Humidity with Cooled-Surface Condensation (Dew-Point) Hygrometer Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Humidity information is important for the understanding of atmospheric phenomena and industrial processes. Measurements of the dew-point and calculations of related vapor pressures are important to quantify the humidity information. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination …
ASTM D423- Method of Test for Liquid Limit of Soils (Withdrawn 1982) Description:
ASTM D4226 – Standard Test Methods for Impact Resistance of Rigid Poly(Vinyl Chloride) (PVC) Building Products Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The impact strength values obtained on the flat sections of a building product profile are relevant only to the flat section that has been tested and these values do not necessarily indicate the impact resistance …
ASTM D4222 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Nitrogen Adsorption and Desorption Isotherms of Catalysts and Catalyst Carriers by Static Volumetric Measurements Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test method has two main functions: first, it provides data useful for establishing the pore size distribution of catalyst materials, which in turn may influence their performance; …
ASTM D4221 – Standard Test Method for Dispersive Characteristics of Clay Soil by Double Hydrometer Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Dispersive clays are those which normally deflocculate when exposed to water of low-salt concentration, the opposite of aggregated clays that would remain flocculated in the same soil-water system (3, 4, 7). Generally, dispersive clays are highly erosive, possibly subject …
ASTM D422 – Standard Test Method for Particle-Size Analysis of Soils (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Abstract This test method covers the quantitative determination of the distribution of particle sizes in soils. The distribution of particle sizes larger than 75 micrometers (retained on the No. 200 sieve) is determined by sieving, while the distribution of particle sizes …
ASTM D4218 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Carbon Black Content in Polyethylene Compounds by the Muffle-Furnace Technique Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is capable of yielding duplicate test data, in 20 min or less, for a simple carbon black content determination. 5.2 This test method is suitable for manufacturing quality control, technical …
ASTM D4214 – Standard Test Methods for Evaluating the Degree of Chalking of Exterior Paint Films Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The procedures provide a broad range of techniques and photographic references to evaluate chalking of exterior paints. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the evaluation of the degree of chalking on white or tinted exterior paint …
ASTM D4213 – Standard Test Method for Scrub Resistance of Paints by Abrasion Weight Loss Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Interior paint films often become soiled, especially near doorways, windows, and play areas, and frequently need to be cleaned by scrubbing. This test method covers the determination of the relative resistance of paints to erosion when …
