ASTM D3826 – Standard Practice for Determining Degradation End Point in Degradable Polyethylene and Polypropylene Using a Tensile Test Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The tensile elongation property determined by this practice is of value for the characterization of degradable materials. It is possible that the tensile elongation property will vary with specimen thickness, method of …
ASTM D3825 – Standard Test Method for Dynamic Surface Tension by the Fast-Bubble Technique (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Significance and Use While this test method can be applied to pure liquids, it is especially designed for use with mixtures in which one or more components migrate to the surface. Data of this type are needed for …
ASTM D3822 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Single Textile Fibers Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Test Method D3822 using test specimens having gauge lengths of 10 mm [0.4 in.] or greater is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments since the test method has been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. Critical …
ASTM D3815 – Standard Practice for Accelerated Weathering of Pressure-Sensitive Tapes by Open-Flame Carbon-Arc Exposure Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice does not necessarily provide direct simulation of natural weathering exposure. 4.2 Results from use of this practice shall not be represented as being equivalent to those of any natural weathering test until a satisfactory …
ASTM D381 – Standard Test Method for Gum Content in Fuels by Jet Evaporation Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The true significance of this test method for determining gum in motor gasoline is not firmly established. It has been proved that high gum can cause induction-system deposits and sticking of intake valves, and in most instances, …
ASTM D3807 – Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Adhesives in Cleavage Peel by Tension Loading (Engineering Plastics-to-Engineering Plastics) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method determines strength properties of adhesives in cleavage peel by tension loading. It allows the comparative testing of cleavage/peel strengths of bonded engineering thermoplastic adherends. 4.2 Cleavage/peel forces are common …
ASTM D3803 – Standard Test Method for Nuclear-Grade Activated Carbon Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The results of this test method give a conservative estimate of the performance of nuclear-grade activated carbon used in all nuclear power plant HVAC systems for the removal of radioiodine. Scope 1.1 This test method is a very stringent procedure for establishing …
ASTM D3802 – Standard Test Method for Ball-Pan Hardness of Activated Carbon Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Several methods have been employed in the past for determining the resistance of activated carbons to particle size degradation under service conditions, including the ball-pan method, the stirring bar method, and the dust elutriation method. None of these have …
ASTM D3801 – Standard Test Method for Measuring the Comparative Burning Characteristics of Solid Plastics in a Vertical Position Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The tests results represent afterflame and afterglow time in seconds for a material of specified shape, under the conditions of this test method. 5.2 The effect of material thickness, color additives, and possible …
ASTM D380 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Hose Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods provide uniform methods for inspection and test of rubber hoses that can be referenced in hose specifications for various applications. 4.2 Uniform test methods make quality comparisons of hose easier and more meaningful, and are more economical particularly when the …
