ASTM D3759 – Standard Test Method for Breaking Strength and Elongation of Pressure-Sensitive Tape Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides information that can be used in material specifications for product design and quality assurance applications. It can be used in comparing different products. 5.2 The use of this test method must be related to …
ASTM D3654 – Standard Test Methods for Shear Adhesion of Pressure-Sensitive Tapes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Procedure A measures the ability of a pressure-sensitive tape to adhere to a standard steel panel under constant stress. This may or may not relate to the ability of the tape to adhere to other surfaces. 4.2 Procedures B, C, …
ASTM D3611 – Standard Practice for Accelerated Aging of Pressure-Sensitive Tapes Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This practice accelerates the natural aging of pressure-sensitive tapes so that the response to the usual physical property tests changes to the same extent as with an exposure to approximately two years of natural aging when compared with the response …
ASTM D3597 – Standard Performance Specification for Woven Upholstery Fabrics—Plain, Tufted, or Flocked Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Fabrics intended for this end-use should meet all of the requirements listed in Table 1. (A)For guideline purposes see 6.4.1. (B)Class in the colorfastness requirements is based on a numerical scale of 5 for negligible for no colorchange or color …
ASTM D3575 – Standard Test Methods for Flexible Cellular Materials Made from Olefin Polymers Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test procedures provide a standard method of obtaining data for research and development, quality control, acceptance and rejection under specifications, and special purposes. 5.2 The data obtained by these test methods are applicable to the material under …
ASTM D3539 – Standard Test Methods for Evaporation Rates of Volatile Liquids by Shell Thin-Film Evaporometer (Withdrawn 2015) Description: Significance and Use The rate of evaporation of volatile liquids from a solution or dispersion is important because it affects the rate of deposition of a film and flow during deposition, and thereby controls the structure …
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 …
