ASTM D3176 – Standard Practice for Ultimate Analysis of Coal and Coke Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Summarizing the ash mass fraction and the mass fraction of the organic constituents in a specific format under the heading, Ultimate Analysis, provides a convenient and uniform system for comparing coals or cokes. This tabulation used with that of Proximate Analysis (Practice D3172) …
ASTM D3175 – Standard Test Method for Volatile Matter in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Volatile matter, when determined as herein described, can be used to establish the rank of coals, to indicate coke yield on carbonization process, to provide the basis for purchasing and selling, or to establish …
ASTM D3174 – Standard Test Method for Ash in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke from Coal Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Ash, as determined by this test method, is the residue remaining after burning the coal and coke. Ash obtained differs in composition from the inorganic constituents present in the original coal. Incineration causes …
ASTM D3173 – Standard Test Method for Moisture in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Moisture as determined by this test method is used for calculating other analytical results to a moisture free basis using procedures in Practice D3180. Moisture percent determined by this test method may be used in conjunction …
ASTM D3172 – Standard Practice for Proximate Analysis of Coal and Coke Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Test methods, as herein described, can be used to establish the rank of coals, show the ratio of combustible to incombustible constituents, provide the basis for buying and selling, and evaluate for beneficiation or for other purposes. Scope 1.1 This …
ASTM D3171 – Standard Test Methods for Constituent Content of Composite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A constituent content of a composite material must be known in order to analytically model the material properties (mechanical, physical, thermal, or electrical) of the composite which are affected by the reinforcement or matrix. Also, knowledge of the constituent …
ASTM D3170 – Standard Test Method for Chipping Resistance of Coatings Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Owners consider chipping of coatings, particularly on the leading faces and edges of automobile surfaces, unacceptable. In formulating a coating or coating system to meet service requirements, the resistance to chipping damage by flying objects such as gravel is one …
ASTM D3168 – Standard Practice for Qualitative Identification of Polymers in Emulsion Paints Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Identification of specific acrylic polymers in emulsion paints is often difficult or impossible by infrared alone. This is particularly true when the acrylic is present in a small amount as a comonomer with vinyl acetate, or when blended …
ASTM D3167 – Standard Test Method for Floating Roller Peel Resistance of Adhesives Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Use this test method for acceptance and process control testing. This test method may be used as an alternative to Test Method D1781 when that facility is not available. This test method is considered more severe since the angle of …
ASTM D3166 – Standard Test Method for Fatigue Properties of Adhesives in Shear by Tension Loading (Metal/Metal) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 While this test method is intended for use in metal-to-metal applications it may be used for measuring the fatigue properties of adhesives using plastic adherends, provided consideration is given to the thickness of the …
