ASTM C1292 – Standard Test Method for Shear Strength of Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Advanced Ceramics at Ambient Temperatures Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic composites can be candidate materials for structural applications requiring high degrees of wear and corrosion resistance, and damage tolerance at high temperatures. 5.2 Shear tests provide information on the strength and deformation …
ASTM C1259 – Standard Test Method for Dynamic Young’s Modulus, Shear Modulus, and Poisson’s Ratio for Advanced Ceramics by Impulse Excitation of Vibration Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method may be used for material development, characterization, design data generation, and quality control purposes. 5.2 This test method is specifically appropriate for determining the modulus of …
ASTM C1161 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength of Advanced Ceramics at Ambient Temperature Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method may be used for material development, quality control, characterization, and design data generation purposes. This test method is intended to be used with ceramics whose strength is 50 MPa (~7 ksi) or greater. …
ASTM C892 – Standard Specification for High-Temperature Fiber Blanket Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers the standard for high-temperature fiber blanket thermal insulation for use at various temperatures. The insulation should be tested and comply accordingly to physical and mechanical properties of the insulation such as apparent thermal conductivity, density, and temperature of use. …
ASTM C773 – Standard Test Method for Compressive (Crushing) Strength of Fired Whiteware Materials Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Resistance to compression is the measure of the greatest strength of a ceramic material. Ideally, ceramics should be stressed this way in use. This test is a measure of the potential load-bearing usefulness of a ceramic. Scope …
ASTM C695 – Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Carbon and Graphite Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Carbon and graphite can usually support higher loads in compression than in any other mode of stress. This test, therefore, provides a measure of the maximum load-bearing capability of carbon and graphite objects. Scope 1.1 This test method covers …
ASTM C835 – Standard Test Method for Total Hemispherical Emittance of Surfaces up to 1400°C Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The emittance as measured by this test method can be used in the calculation of radiant heat transfer from surfaces that are representative of the tested specimens, and that are within the temperature range of the …
ASTM C832 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thermal Expansion and Creep of Refractories Under Load Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The thermal expansion under load and the 20 to 50 h creep properties of a refractory are useful in characterizing the load-bearing capacity of a refractory that is uniformly heated. Directly applicable examples are blast …
ASTM C767 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity of Carbon Refractories Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The thermal conductivity of carbon refractories is a property required for selecting their thermal transmission characteristics. Users select carbon refractories to provide specified conditions of heat loss and cold-face temperature without exceeding the temperature limitation of the carbon refractory. …
ASTM C618 – Standard Specification for Coal Ash and Raw or Calcined Natural Pozzolan for Use in Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers coal fly ash and raw or calcined natural pozzolan for use in concrete where cementitious or pozzolanic action, or both, is desired, or where other properties normally attributed to fly ash or …
