ASTM D3273 – Standard Test Method for Resistance to Growth of Mold on the Surface of Interior Coatings in an Environmental Chamber Description: Significance and Use 3.1 An accelerated test for determining the resistance of interior coatings to mold growth is useful in estimating the performance of coatings designed for use in interior environments that promote …
ASTM D3265 – Standard Test Method for Carbon Black—Tint Strength Description: Significance and Use 4.1 For the broad range of commercial rubber grade carbon blacks, tint strength is highly dependent upon particle size. Tint strength can be used as an indication of particle size; however, tint strength is also dependent on structure and aggregate size distribution. …
ASTM D3260 – Standard Test Method for Acid and Mortar Resistance of Factory-Applied Clear Coatings on Extruded Aluminum Products Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method will provide differentiation between types of coatings for acid and motor resistance providing the coating is applied in a uniform continuous film with a specified film thickness. Scope 1.1 This …
ASTM D3257 – Standard Test Methods for Aromatics in Mineral Spirits by Gas Chromatography Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods were developed to measure the types and amounts of aromatics in mineral spirits to determine compliance with air pollution regulations that restrict the aromatic content of solvents. They have been demonstrated to be workable …
ASTM D3256 – Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Phthalocyanine Blue and Green Pigments Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods are suitable for determining if impurities are present and establishing that the required pigments are present. These test methods may be used for manufacturing and purchasing quality control. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover …
ASTM D3246 – Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Gas by Oxidative Microcoulometry (Withdrawn 2024) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Trace quantities of sulfur compounds in hydrocarbon products can be harmful to many catalytic chemical processes in which these products are used. Maximum permissible levels of total sulfur are normally included in specifications for such …
ASTM D3245 – Standard Test Method for Pumpability of Industrial Fuel Oils (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use This test method is designed to give an indication of the minimum storage and minimum handling temperatures which may be used for a given fuel oil. This test method is cited in Specification D 396. Scope 1.1 …
ASTM D3242 – Standard Test Method for Acidity in Aviation Turbine Fuel Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Some acids can be present in aviation turbine fuels due either to the acid treatment during the refining process or to naturally occurring organic acids. Significant acid contamination is not likely to be present because of the many check …
ASTM D3241 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Turbine Fuels Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test results are indicative of fuel performance during gas turbine operation and can be used to assess the level of deposits that form when liquid fuel contacts a heated surface that is at a specified temperature. …
ASTM D3240 – Standard Test Method for Undissolved Water In Aviation Turbine Fuels Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Undissolved (free) water in aviation fuel can encourage the growth of microorganisms and subsequent corrosion in the tanks of aircraft and can also lead to icing of filters in the fuel system. Control of free water is exercised …
