ASTM D4124 – Standard Test Method for Separation of Asphalt into Four Fractions Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method separates asphalts into four well-defined fractions. Analysis of these fractions can be used to evaluate asphalt composition (1, 2).4 For example, one can compare the ratios of the fractions with other asphalt systems to evaluate processing and aging …
ASTM D412 – Standard Test Methods for Vulcanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomers—Tension Description: Significance and Use 5.1 All materials and products covered by these test methods must withstand tensile forces for adequate performance in certain applications. These test methods allow for the measurement of such tensile properties. However, tensile properties alone may not directly relate to …
ASTM D4103 – Standard Practice for Preparation of Substrate Surfaces for Coefficient of Friction Testing Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The reliability of any of the practices using panels prepared by these procedures may be dependent upon the manner and care in which the test panels are prepared. Having these practices in a single procedure eliminates …
ASTM D410 – Standard Method forSIEVE ANALYSIS OF COAL (withdrawn 1988) Description:
ASTM D409 – Standard Test Method for Grindability of Coal by the Hardgrove-Machine Method Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method develops a measurement of grinding or pulverizing characteristics that can be used to evaluate the yield, or energy input, or both, required in a grinding or pulverizing process, which can impact a wide variety …
ASTM D4086 – Standard Practice for Visual Evaluation of Metamerism Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Metameric color matches result from the use of different colorants (pigments, dyes, and the like) in achieving the same color match. Usually, the purchaser requires that the color match be nonmetameric; this practice permits this requirement to be quickly tested in …
ASTM D4084 – Standard Test Method for Analysis of Hydrogen Sulfide in Gaseous Fuels (Lead Acetate Reaction Rate Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful in determining the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in gaseous samples and in verifying compliance with operational needs and/or environmental limitations for H2S content. The automated performance operation …
ASTM D4075 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Compounding Materials—Flame Atomic Absorption Analysis—Determination of Metals Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods are suitable for process control, for product acceptance, and for research and development. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the determination of metals in rubber compounding materials by flame atomic absorption. 1.2 The test methods …
ASTM D4073 – Standard Test Method for Tensile-Tear Strength of Bituminous Roofing Membranes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Determining the tensile-tear strength of laboratory and field samples of roofing membranes should be useful in developing performance criteria, and as one basis for comparison of different materials and systems. The effects of temperature, moisture, and aging may …
ASTM D4069 – Standard Specification for Impregnated Activated Carbon Used to Remove Gaseous Radio-Iodines from Gas Streams Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Activated carbons used in containment systems for nuclear reactors must be capable of functioning under both normal operating conditions and those conditions which may exist following a design basis accident (DBA). Adsorbent beds that …
