ASTM D4986 – Standard Test Method for Horizontal Burning Characteristics of Cellular Polymeric Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a means of measuring the time and extent of burning for cellular polymeric materials. It also provides a means of measuring burning rates for materials that continue to burn past the specified gage …
ASTM D4985 – Standard Specification for Low Silicate Ethylene Glycol Base Engine Coolant for Heavy Duty Engines Requiring a Pre-Charge of Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) Description: Abstract This specification covers the requirements for low silicate ethylene glycol base engine coolants for cooling systems of heavy-duty engines. Such engines are typically used in off-highway machinery for …
ASTM D4982 – Standard Test Methods for Flammability Potential Screening Analysis of Waste Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are intended for use by those in the waste management industries to aid in identifying the flammability potential or waste materials. In addition to the test methods described here, flash points specific to liquid waste …
ASTM D4980 – Standard Test Methods for Screening of pH in Waste (Withdrawn 2009) Description: Significance and Use These test methods are intended for use by those in the waste management industries to characterize waste streams by pH. These methods will identify those waste materials that may dictate a specific waste management procedure due to …
ASTM D4979 – Standard Practice for Physical Description Screening Analysis in Waste Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This practice is intended for use by those in the waste management industries to aid in describing the physical characteristics of waste. 5.2 This practice has two uses. One is to visually screen wastes being received at the laboratory to …
ASTM D4978 – Standard Test Methods for Screening of Reactive Sulfides in Waste Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are intended for use by waste treatment, storage, disposal, and remedial facilities in order to show the presence of potentially hazardous sulfide. 5.2 Method B: Gas Detector Tube—This proposed test method was designed to measure gases …
ASTM D4977 – Standard Test Method for Granule Adhesion to Mineral-Surfaced Roofing by Abrasion Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is used to determine the quality of adhesion of the granular surfacing to the coating asphalt in a sample of mineral-surfaced roofing. The results determine compliance with the applicable specification requirements or for comparative …
ASTM D4972 – Standard Test Methods for pH of Soils Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The pH of the soil is a useful variable in determining the solubility of soil minerals, the mobility of ions in the soil, and assessing the viability of the soil-plant environment. 5.2 pH measurements are made in both test water and a …
ASTM D4970 – Standard Test Method for Pilling Resistance and Other Related Surface Changes of Textile Fabrics: Martindale Tester Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Acceptance Testing—This method of testing fabrics resistance to pilling is not recommended for acceptance testing. If it is used for acceptance testing, it should be used with caution because interlaboratory data are …
ASTM D4966 – Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics (Martindale Abrasion Tester Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Acceptance Testing—this test method is not considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of fabric. The between-laboratory precision of this test method is poor and, because of the nature of abrasion testing itself, technicians …
