ASTM D4290 – Standard Test Method for Determining the Leakage Tendencies of Automotive Wheel Bearing Grease Under Accelerated Conditions Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high-temperature leakage characteristics. It is not the equivalent of longtime service tests. 5.2 This test method has proven to be helpful in …
ASTM D429 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Property—Adhesion to Rigid Substrates Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods are designed primarily for specimens prepared in a laboratory under standardized conditions such as may be used to provide data for development and control of rubber compounds and methods of manufacture. With slight modifications as indicated, …
ASTM D4289 – Standard Test Method for Elastomer Compatibility of Lubricating Greases and Fluids Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Measurement of the changes in the volume and hardness of an elastomer that occur from immersion in a lubricating grease or fluid provides a means for evaluating relative compatibility. Much of this test method was derived from …
ASTM D4287 – Standard Test Method for High-Shear Viscosity Using a Cone/Plate Viscometer Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The viscosity value obtained by this test method gives information about the flow properties of the material under high-shear conditions similar to those encountered during application: brushing (see Test Method D4958), spraying, electrostatic disk, or roll coating. 4.2 This test …
ASTM D4284 – Standard Test Method for Determining Pore Volume Distribution of Catalysts and Catalyst Carriers by Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is intended to determine the volume distribution of pores in catalysts and catalyst carriers with respect to the apparent diameter of the entrances to the pores. In general, …
ASTM D4281 – Standard Test Method for Oil and Grease (Fluorocarbon Extractable Substances) by Gravimetric Determination (Withdrawn 2012) Description: Significance and Use A knowledge of the quantity of oil and grease present in a waste is helpful in overcoming difficulties in wastewater treatment plant operation, in determining plant efficiencies, and in controlling the subsequent discharge …
ASTM D4280 – Standard Specification for Extended Life Type, Nonplowable, Raised Retroreflective Pavement Markers Description: Abstract This specification covers extended life type, nonplowable, retroreflective raised pavement markers for nighttime lane marking and delineation. Pavement markers shall undergo tests to examine their conformance with specified construction, performance (retroreflectivity), and physical property (flexural strength, compressive strength, abrasion …
ASTM D4274 – Standard Test Methods for Testing Polyurethane Raw Materials: Determination of Hydroxyl Numbers of Polyols Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are suitable for research and as quality control and specification tests. It is necessary to know the hydroxyl contents of polyols in order to formulate polyurethane systems. Scope 1.1 These test methods …
ASTM D4272 – Standard Test Method for Total Energy Impact of Plastic Films by Dart Drop Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Evaluation of the impact toughness of film is important in predicting the performance of a material in applications such as packaging, construction, and other uses. The test simulates the action encountered in applications where moderate-velocity …
ASTM D427 – Test Method for Shrinkage Factors of Soils by the Mercury Method (Withdrawn 2008) Description: Significance and Use The shrinkage factors covered in this test method can only be determined on basically fine-grained (cohesive) soils which exhibit a dry strength when air dried. The term shrinkage limit, expressed as a water content in …
