ASTM D3137 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Hydrolytic Stability Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Rubber and rubber products for certain applications must withstand the environmental effect of high humidity and resist the deterioration of physical properties under these conditions with time. This test method allows performance properties to be determined under the accelerated conditions of …
ASTM D3125 – Standard Test Method for Monomethyl Ether of Hydroquinone in Colorless Monomeric Acrylate Esters and Acrylic Acid (Withdrawn 2021) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Acrylic acid and its esters are normally inhibited with MEHQ only. This procedure presents a rapid and accurate method of determining the MEHQ content of fresh acrylic acid and acrylate …
ASTM D3120 – Standard Test Method for Trace Quantities of Sulfur in Light Liquid Petroleum Hydrocarbons by Oxidative Microcoulometry Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is used to determine the concentration of sulfur in light liquid hydrocarbons, gasoline, and diesels and their additives, where such concentrations of sulfur can be detrimental to their production, …
ASTM D3117 – Standard Test Method for Wax Appearance Point of Distillate Fuels (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use Wax appearance point is the temperature at which wax crystals begin to precipitate out of a fuel under specified cooling conditions. The presence of wax crystals in the fuel may restrict flow or plug the fuel …
ASTM D3108 – Standard Test Method for Coefficient of Friction, Yarn to Solid Material Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Test Method D3108 for the determination of kinetic friction between yarn and solid materials may be used for the acceptance testing of commercial shipments of yarn, but caution is advised since between laboratory precision is known to be poor. …
ASTM D3107 – Standard Test Methods for Stretch Properties of Fabrics Woven from Stretch Yarns Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are used to determine the stretch, growth and recovery properties that garments made with the fabric tested may be expected to exhibit during use. 5.2 These test methods is not recommended for acceptance testing …
ASTM D3080 – Standard Test Method for Direct Shear Test of Soils Under Consolidated Drained Conditions Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The direct shear test is suited to the relatively rapid determination of the drained friction angle of soils under consolidated drained conditions because the drainage paths through the test specimen are short, allowing excess pore …
ASTM D3078 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Leaks in Flexible Packaging by Bubble Emission Description: Abstract This test method covers the determination of gross leaks in flexible packaging containing a headspace gas by bubble emission. A vacuum chamber shall be any transparent container capable of withstanding approximately one atmosphere pressure differential, fitted with …
ASTM D3065 – Standard Test Methods for Flammability of Aerosol Products (Withdrawn 2022) Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods were developed so that the Open Drum Test could be abandoned as a meaningful guide in establishing flammability hazards. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the determination of flammability hazards for aerosol products. 1.2 These test methods …
ASTM D3045 – Standard Practice for Heat Aging of Plastics Without Load Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The use of this practice presupposes that the failure criteria selected to evaluate materials (that is, the property or properties being measured as a function of exposure time) and the duration of the exposure can be shown to relate …
