ASTM D3574 – Standard Test Methods for Flexible Cellular Materials—Slab, Bonded, and Molded Urethane Foams Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test procedures provide a standard method of obtaining data for research and development, quality control, acceptance and rejection under specifications, and special purposes. 5.2 The data obtained by these test methods are applicable to the material …
ASTM D3559 – Standard Test Methods for Lead in Water (Withdrawn 2024) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The test for lead is necessary because it is a toxicant and because there is a limit specified for lead in potable water in the National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations. This test serves to determine whether the lead …
ASTM D3558 – Standard Test Methods for Cobalt in Water Description: ignificance and Use 4.1 Most waters rarely contain more than trace concentrations of cobalt from natural sources. Although trace amounts of cobalt seem to be essential to the nutrition of some animals, large amounts have pronounced toxic effects on both plant and animal life. Scope …
ASTM D3557 – Standard Test Methods for Cadmium in Water Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The test for cadmium is necessary because it is a toxicant and because there is a limit specified for cadmium in potable water in the National Interim Primary Drinking Water Regulations. This test serves to determine whether the cadmium content of …
ASTM D3552 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Fiber Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to produce tensile property data for material specifications, research and development, quality assurance, and structural design and analysis. Factors that influence the tensile response and should be reported include the following: …
ASTM D3539 – Standard Test Methods for Evaporation Rates of Volatile Liquids by Shell Thin-Film Evaporometer (Withdrawn 2015) Description: Significance and Use The rate of evaporation of volatile liquids from a solution or dispersion is important because it affects the rate of deposition of a film and flow during deposition, and thereby controls the structure …
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 …
