ASTM D454 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Deterioration by Heat and Air Pressure Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Rubber and rubber products must resist the deterioration of physical properties with time caused by oxidative and thermal aging. This test method allows these performance properties to be determined under the accelerated conditions of high air pressure …
ASTM D4539 – Standard Test Method for Filterability of Diesel Fuels by Low-Temperature Flow Test (LTFT) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The Low Temperature Flow Test results are indicative of the low temperature flow performance of the test fuel in some diesel vehicles (according to CRC Report No. 528). The test method is especially useful for …
ASTM D4533 – Standard Test Method for Trapezoid Tearing Strength of Geotextiles Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The trapezoid tear method is a test that produces tension along a reasonably defined course such that the tear propagates across the width of the specimen. The trapezoid tearing strength for woven fabrics is determined primarily by the properties …
ASTM D4530 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Carbon Residue (Micro Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The carbon residue value of the various petroleum materials serves as an approximation of the tendency of the material to form carbonaceous type deposits under degradation conditions similar to those used in the test method, and can be …
ASTM D4529 – Standard Test Method for Estimation of Net Heat of Combustion of Aviation Fuels Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is intended for use as a guide in cases where an experimental determination of heat of combustion is not available and cannot be made conveniently, and where an estimate is considered satisfactory. …
ASTM D4525 – Standard Test Method for Permeability of Rocks by Flowing Air (Withdrawn 2022) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to measure the permeability to air of a small sample of rock. By extrapolation, this test method also determines an equivalent of the liquid permeability. This parameter is used to calculate …
ASTM D4517 – Standard Test Method for Low-Level Total Silica in High-Purity Water by Flameless Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Control of silica in boiler feedwater and boiler water is necessary to minimize the formation of scale-forming silicates that decrease heat transfer in the boiler. Volatilization and carryover of silica with the steam …
ASTM D4513 – Standard Test Method for Particle Size Distribution of Catalytic Materials by Sieving Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method can be used to determine particle size distributions of catalysts and supports for materials specifications, manufacturing control, and research and development work. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of particle size distribution …
ASTM D4511 – Standard Test Method for Hydraulic Conductivity of Essentially Saturated Peat Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Values of hydraulic conductivity determined by this test method may be useful in making rough preliminary estimates of the initial rates of drainage and compression of peat deposits when the only effective stress increase on the deposit is …
ASTM D4505 – Standard Specification for Preformed Retroreflective Pavement Marking Tape for Extended Service Life Description: Abstract This specification covers white or yellow preformed retroreflective pavement marking tape, that when applied to a road surface, will provide a service life normally greater than one year depending on the average daily traffic count (ADT). The preformed …
