ASTM D4359 – Standard Test Method for Determining Whether a Material Is a Liquid or a Solid Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Compliance with regulations often requires the determination of whether a material is a liquid or a solid. A similar test is used by the U.S. Department of Transportation for this purpose. Scope 1.1 This test …
ASTM D4355 – Standard Test Method for Deterioration of Geotextiles by Exposure to Light, Moisture, and Heat in a Xenon Arc-Type Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This method is intended to induce property changes associated with end-use conditions, including the effects of solar radiation, moisture, and heat. The exposure used is not intended to simulate …
ASTM D4340 – Standard Test Method for Corrosion of Cast Aluminum Alloys in Engine Coolants Under Heat-Rejecting Conditions Description: Significance and Use 4.1 It is essential that engine coolants prevent heat-transfer corrosion of aluminum cylinder heads during engine operation. Any corrosion products formed may deposit on interior radiator surfaces, reducing heat-transfer efficiency of the radiator. Overheating …
ASTM D434 – Standard Test Method for Resistance to Slippage of Yarns in Woven Fabrics Using a Standard Seam (Withdrawn 2004) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the resistance to slippage of filling yarns over warp yarns, or warp yarns over filling yarns, using a standard seam. 1.2 This test method …
ASTM D4332 – Standard Practice for Conditioning Containers, Packages, or Packaging Components for Testing Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Many materials from which containers and packages are made, especially cellulosic materials, undergo changes in physical properties as the temperature and the relative humidity (RH) to which they are exposed are varied. Therefore, the package should be …
ASTM D4329 – Standard Practice for Fluorescent Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp Apparatus Exposure of Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The ability of a plastic material to resist deterioration caused by exposure to light, heat, and water is a property of significance in many applications. This practice is intended to induce property changes associated with end-use conditions, …
ASTM D4327 – Standard Test Method for Anions in Water by Suppressed Ion Chromatography Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Ion chromatography provides for both qualitative and quantitative determination of seven common anions, F−, Cl−, NO2−, HPO4 −2, Br−, NO3−, and SO4−2, in the milligram per litre range from a single analytical operation requiring only a few millilitres …
ASTM D4326 – Standard Test Method for Major and Minor Elements in Coal Ash By X-Ray Fluorescence Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the analysis of the commonly determined major and minor elements in ash from coal using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques. Note 1: Test Method D5016 is used for determination of sulfur. Note 2: Although not included in …
ASTM D4325 – Standard Test Methods for Nonmetallic Semi-Conducting and Electrically Insulating Rubber Tapes Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The physical and electrical properties, including break strength, elongation, dielectric strength, dissipation factor, permittivity, fusion, etc., will vary with temperature and moisture content. Control the temperature and moisture content of the sample for these test methods to …
ASTM D4318 – Standard Test Methods for Liquid Limit, Plastic Limit, and Plasticity Index of Soils Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are used as an integral part of several engineering classification systems to characterize the fine-grained fractions of soils (see Practices D2487 and D3282) and to specify the fine-grained fraction of construction materials (see Specification D1241). The …
