ASTM D409 – Standard Test Method for Grindability of Coal by the Hardgrove-Machine Method Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method develops a measurement of grinding or pulverizing characteristics that can be used to evaluate the yield, or energy input, or both, required in a grinding or pulverizing process, which can impact a wide variety …
ASTM D4086 – Standard Practice for Visual Evaluation of Metamerism Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Metameric color matches result from the use of different colorants (pigments, dyes, and the like) in achieving the same color match. Usually, the purchaser requires that the color match be nonmetameric; this practice permits this requirement to be quickly tested in …
ASTM D4084 – Standard Test Method for Analysis of Hydrogen Sulfide in Gaseous Fuels (Lead Acetate Reaction Rate Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful in determining the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in gaseous samples and in verifying compliance with operational needs and/or environmental limitations for H2S content. The automated performance operation …
ASTM D4075 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Compounding Materials—Flame Atomic Absorption Analysis—Determination of Metals Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods are suitable for process control, for product acceptance, and for research and development. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the determination of metals in rubber compounding materials by flame atomic absorption. 1.2 The test methods …
ASTM D4073 – Standard Test Method for Tensile-Tear Strength of Bituminous Roofing Membranes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Determining the tensile-tear strength of laboratory and field samples of roofing membranes should be useful in developing performance criteria, and as one basis for comparison of different materials and systems. The effects of temperature, moisture, and aging may …
ASTM D4069 – Standard Specification for Impregnated Activated Carbon Used to Remove Gaseous Radio-Iodines from Gas Streams Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Activated carbons used in containment systems for nuclear reactors must be capable of functioning under both normal operating conditions and those conditions which may exist following a design basis accident (DBA). Adsorbent beds that …
ASTM D4068 – Standard Specification for Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) Sheeting for Concealed Water-Containment Membrane Description: Abstract This specification covers flexible chlorinated polyethylene sheeting for use in concealed water-containment membranes in applications susceptible to costly secondary damage from leakage and which require very long term reliable performance, for example, fountains, pools, planters, shower and safe pans, …
ASTM D4065 – Standard Practice for Plastics: Dynamic Mechanical Properties: Determination and Report of Procedures Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Dynamic mechanical testing provides a method for determining elastic and loss moduli as a function of temperature, frequency or time, or both. A plot of the elastic modulus and loss modulus of material versus temperature provides …
ASTM D4062 – Standard Test Method for Leveling of Paints by Draw-Down Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Leveling can affect the hiding and appearance of applied architectural coatings, the presence of brushmarks and surface irregularities being more conspicuous with gloss and semi-gloss finishes than with flat finishes. Instrumental evaluations of leveling by this test method …
ASTM D4061 – Standard Test Method for Retroreflectance of Horizontal Coatings Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The quantity coefficient of retroreflected luminance is a measure of the reflected luminance in the direction of the observer. This is the light returned by the retroreflective surface to the observer from the source, which in practice is the vehicle …
