ASTM D3322 – Standard Practice for Testing Primers and Primer Surfacers Over Preformed Metal Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Primers and primer surfacers may be used over many different surfaces top coated with one or more of a variety of coatings and subjected to many kinds of wear and exposure. 4.2 The selection of the tests to …
ASTM D3321 – Standard Test Method for Use of the Refractometer for Field Test Determination of the Freezing Point of Aqueous Engine Coolants Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice is commonly used by vehicle service personnel to determine the freezing point, in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, of aqueous solutions of commercial ethylene and propylene glycol-based …
ASTM D3310 – Standard Test Method for Determining Corrosivity of Adhesive Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is a subjective test in that determinations of degree of corrosivity is based upon a visual inspection for a green discoloration or other evidence of corrosion. Scope 1.1 This test method is intended to determine whether an …
ASTM D3306 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Diffusivity by the Flash Method Description: Scope 1.1 This specification covers the requirements for ethylene glycol or propylene glycol or ethylene glycol containing glycerin base engine coolants used in automobiles or other light-duty service cooling systems. When concentrates are used at 40 % to 60 % concentration (allowance to 70 % …
ASTM D3302 – Standard Test Method for Total Moisture in Coal Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The collection and treatment of the sample as specified for the referee method is intended for the express purpose of determining the total moisture in coal. The standard is available to producers, sellers, and consumers as a method of determination …
ASTM D3300 – Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Under Impulse Conditions Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is most commonly performed using a negative polarity needle or a sharp defined point to an opposing grounded sphere (NPS). The NPS breakdown voltage of fresh unused liquids measured in the highly …
ASTM D3279 – Standard Test Method for n-Heptane Insolubles Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is useful in quantifying the asphaltene content of petroleum asphalts, gas oils, heavy fuel oils, and crude petroleum. Asphaltene content is defined as those components not soluble in n-heptane. Scope 1.1 This test method covers determination of the mass percent of …
ASTM D3278 – Standard Test Methods for Flash Point of Liquids by Small Scale Closed-Cup Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Flash point measures the response of the test specimen to heat and ignition source under controlled laboratory conditions. It is only one of a number of properties that must be considered in assessing the overall …
ASTM D3277 – Standard Test Methods for Moisture Content of Oil-Impregnated Cellulosic Insulation (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use Moisture has an adverse effect on the dielectric strength, dielectric loss, dc resistivity, and aging characteristics of oil-impregnated cellulosic insulating materials. When cellulosic insulation such as paper and pressboard are impregnated with and immersed in oil, …
ASTM D3274 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Diffusivity by the Flash Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The growth of fungi in and on the surface of paint films represents a major cause of discoloration or disfigurement of painted surfaces. Because of their dark pigmentation, it is frequently difficult to distinguish fungi from dirt or …
