ASTM D3532 – Standard Test Method for Gel Time of Carbon Fiber-Epoxy Prepreg Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method can be used to obtain the gel time of resin squeezed from prepreg tape or sheet material. This test is a useful measure for material acceptance. 4.2 The gel time will vary with the test temperature. …
ASTM D3531 – Standard Test Method for Resin Flow of Carbon Fiber-Epoxy Prepreg Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used to obtain the resin flow of carbon fiber-epoxy prepreg tape, fabric or sheet material. It is suitable for comparing batches of material of supposedly the same characteristics and also for comparative evaluation of …
ASTM D3530 – Standard Test Method for Volatiles Content of Composite Material Prepreg Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used to obtain the volatiles content of composite material prepreg. Knowledge of the volatiles content is useful in developing optimum manufacturing processes. 5.2 The volatiles content is determined after exposure to the nominal cure or …
ASTM D3529 – Standard Test Methods for Constituent Content of Composite Prepreg Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method can be used to obtain the fiber content, fiber areal weight, matrix content or matrix solids content. Knowledge of these results is useful in specifying material systems and in developing optimum manufacturing processes. Where volatiles content …
ASTM D3528 – Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Double Lap Shear Adhesive Joints by Tension Loading Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is designed to produce shear property data for the process control and specification of adhesives. This test method may also be useful for research and development of adhesives. 4.2 Lap shear …
ASTM D3527 – Standard Test Method for Life Performance of Automotive Wheel Bearing Grease Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high-temperature characteristics. It is not the equivalent of longtime service tests, nor is it intended to distinguish between the products having similar high-temperature performance properties. 5.2 This …
ASTM D3525 – Standard Test Method for Gasoline Fuel Dilution in Used Gasoline Engine Oils by Wide-Bore Capillary Gas Chromatography Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Some fuel dilution of the engine oil may take place during normal operation. However, excessive fuel dilution is of concern in terms of possible performance problems. This method provides a means …
ASTM D3524 – Standard Test Method for Diesel Fuel Diluent in Used Diesel Engine Oils by Gas Chromatography Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Some fuel dilution of the engine oil may take place during normal operation. However, excessive fuel dilution is of concern in terms of possible performance problems. This method provides a means to determine …
ASTM D3520 – Standard Test Method for Quenching Time of Heat-Treating Fluids (Magnetic Quenchometer Method) (Withdrawn 2008) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method describes a procedure for making an evaluation of the quenching speed characteristics of petroleum fluids used in the quenching of metals by means of the Magnetic Quenchometer.Note 1-A comparison method for testing …
ASTM D3519 – Standard Test Method for Foam in Aqueous Media (Blender Test) (Withdrawn 2013) Description: Significance and Use The results obtained by the test method described are useful as guides in determining the tendency of a water-based metalworking coolant to produce foam under high shear conditions. No correlation with changes in heat transfer, pumpability, …
