ASTM D5176 – Standard Test Method for Total Chemically Bound Nitrogen in Water by Pyrolysis and Chemiluminescence Detection Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for the determination of total chemically bound nitrogen in wastewaters and other waters. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the total nitrogen content of water in …
ASTM D5170 – Standard Test Method for Peel Strength (“T” Method) of Hook and Loop Touch Fasteners Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method gives a measure of a key property of hook and loop touch fasteners which is of interest to users of such devices. This is a means of determining the resistance to …
ASTM D5169 – Standard Test Method for Shear Strength (Dynamic Method) of Hook and Loop Touch Fasteners Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method gives a measure of a key property of hook and loop touch fasteners which is of interest to users of such devices. This is a means of determining the resistance to …
ASTM D5162 – Standard Practice for Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of Nonconductive Protective Coating on Metallic Substrates Description: Significance and Use 4.1 A coating/lining is applied to a metallic substrate to prevent corrosion or reduce product contamination, or both. The degree of coating continuity required is dictated by service conditions. Discontinuities in a coating/lining are frequently very …
ASTM D5161 – Standard Guide for Specifying Inspection Requirements for Coating and Lining Work (Metal Substrates) Description: Scope 1.1 This guide is intended to aid the coating specification writer in selecting and specifying the appropriate inspection requirements. It indicates the inspection requirements that may be employed for each of four service environments including mild, moderate, …
ASTM D5160 – Standard Guide for Gas-Phase Adsorption Testing of Activated Carbon Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Activated carbon is used extensively for removing gases and vapors from air or other gas streams. The physical and chemical characteristics of an activated carbon can strongly influence its suitability for a given application. The procedure in this guide …
ASTM D516 – Standard Test Method for Sulfate Ion in Water Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The determination of sulfate is important because it has been reported that when this ion is present in excess of about 250 mg/L in drinking water, it causes a cathartic action (especially in children) in the presence of sodium and …
ASTM D5159 – Standard Guide for Dusting Attrition of Granular Activated Carbon Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Three forces can mechanically degrade a granular activated carbon: impact, crushing, and attrition. Of these three, attrition, or abrasion, is the most common cause of dust formation in actual service. Published test procedures to determine the “hardness” of activated …
ASTM D5158 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Particle Size of Fine Mesh and Powdered Activated Carbon by Air-Jet Sieving Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The particle size of fine mesh and powdered activated carbon is sometimes used to evaluate filter cake filtration rates and the filter penetration in filtering applications. 5.2 The selection and handling …
ASTM D5155 – Standard Test Methods for Polyurethane Raw Materials: Determination of the Isocyanate Content of Aromatic Isocyanates Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are to be used for research or for quality control to characterize isocyanates used in polyurethane products. Scope 1.1 These test methods are used to measure the isocyanate content of aromatic …
