ASTM D4501 – Standard Test Method for Shear Strength of Adhesive Bonds Between Rigid Substrates by the Block-Shear Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides an estimate of the shear strength of an adhesive on various machinable and nonmachinable substrate materials. It is particularly applicable for testing bonds between ceramic, glass, magnet moldings, …
ASTM D4496 – Standard Test Method for D-C Resistance or Conductance of Moderately Conductive Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for the comparison of materials, as a quality control test, and for specification purposes. 5.2 This test method is useful in the selection and use of materials in wires, cables, bushings, high-voltage …
ASTM D4492 – Standard Test Method for Analysis of Benzene by Gas Chromatography (Withdrawn 2018) Description: Significance and Use This test method is suitable for determining the concentrations of known impurities in finished benzene and for use as an integral quality control tool where benzene is either produced or used in a manufacturing procedure. It …
ASTM D4491 – Standard Test Methods for Water Permeability of Geotextiles by Permittivity Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of geotextiles since the methods have been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from differences in reported test …
ASTM D449 – Standard Specification for Asphalt Used in Dampproofing and Waterproofing Description: Abstract This specification covers three types of asphalt suitable for use as a mopping coat in dampproofing; or as a plying or mopping cement in the construction of membrane waterproofing systems with felts, fabrics, and asphalt-impregnated glass mat. Three types of asphalts …
ASTM D4488 – Standard Guide for Testing Cleaning Performance of Products Intended for Use on Resilient Flooring and Washable Walls (Withdrawn 2009) Description: Significance and Use This guide suggests methodology for cleaning tests. Soil/substrate combinations are generally designed to be analogous to soiled surfaces commonly encountered. This methodology can be used with most soil/substrate combinations. …
ASTM D4482 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Extension Cycling Fatigue Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method covers one procedure for determining fatigue life at various extension-ratios. The strain cycle is characteristic of the type of test apparatus specified. Experience in fatigue testing shows that fatigue life may have a wide, non-normal distribution and, …
ASTM D4476 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Fiber Reinforced Pultruded Plastic Rods (Withdrawn 2022) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Flexural properties determined by this test method are especially useful for quality control and specification purposes. 5.2 The maximum axial fiber stresses occur on a line under the loading nose. The use of the semicircular …
ASTM D4473 – Standard Test Method for Plastics: Dynamic Mechanical Properties: Cure Behavior Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a simple means of characterizing the cure behavior of thermosetting resins using very small amounts of material (fewer than 3 to 5 g). The data obtained may be used for quality control, research and …
ASTM D4470 – Standard Test Method for Static Electrification Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Whenever two dissimilar materials are contacted and separated, excess electrostatic charge (triboelectric charge) will be found on these materials if at least one of the materials is a good insulator. This excess charge gives rise to electric fields which can exert forces …
