ASTM D3386 – Standard Test Method for Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion of Electrical Insulating Materials (Withdrawn 2005) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers determination of the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of electrical insulating materials by use of a thermomechanical analyzer. 1.2 This test method is applicable to materials that are solid over …
ASTM D3380 – Standard Test Method for Relative Permittivity (Dielectric Constant) and Dissipation Factor of Polymer-Based Microwave Circuit Substrates Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Permittivity and dissipation factor are fundamental design parameters for design of microwave circuitry. Permittivity plays a principal role in determining the wavelength and the impedance of transmission lines. Dissipation factor (along with …
ASTM D3374 – Standard Specification for Vinyl-Coated Glass Yarns (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Scope 1.1 This specification covers vinyl-coated glass yarns. These yarns are manufactured in two basic classes. These classes have been established that when properly woven into screening, satisfactory strength, durability, and insect protection are obtained. The two classes are as follows: 1.1.1 Class 1—Nominal thickness …
ASTM D3373 – Standard Test Method for Vanadium in Water Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Vanadium can be found in waste that result from chemical cleaning of components in which the metal is alloyed. 5.2 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems permits or other standards, or both, require monitoring pollutants in waste discharged onto the water shed of, …
ASTM D3372 – Standard Test Method for Molybdenum in Water Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Molybdenum can be found in waste that results from chemical cleaning of components in which the metal is alloyed. 5.2 National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits or other standards, or both, require monitoring pollutants in waste discharged onto the water shed …
ASTM D3364 – Standard Test Method for Flow Rates for Poly(Vinyl Chloride) with Molecular Structural Implications Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for quality-control tests on PVC compounds having a wide range of melt viscosities. Measurements are made at shear rates close to 1 s−1. 5.2 In addition to the properties mentioned in …
ASTM D3363 – Standard Test Method for Film Hardness by Pencil Test Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Pencil hardness measurements have been used by the coatings industry for many years to determine the hardness of clear and pigmented organic coating films. This test method has also been used to determine the cure of these coatings, especially …
ASTM D3362 – Standard Test Method for Purity of Acrylate Esters by Gas Chromatography (Withdrawn 2011) Description: Significance and Use This test method provides a measurement of commonly found impurities in commercially available methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. The measurement of these impurities and the results thereof can either individually or …
ASTM D3359 – Standard Test Methods for Rating Adhesion by Tape Test Description: Significance and Use 5.1 In order for a coating is to fulfill its function of protecting or decorating a substrate, the coating must remain adhered to the substrate. Because the substrate and its surface preparation (or lack thereof) have a drastic effect on …
ASTM D3345 – Standard Test Method for Laboratory Evaluation of Wood for Resistance to Subterranean Termites Description: Abstract This test method covers the laboratory evaluation of treated or untreated cellulosic material for its resistance to subterranean termites. This test should be considered as a screening test for treated material and further evaluation by field methods …
