ASTM D3498 – Standard Specification for Adhesives for Field-Gluing Wood Structural Panels (Plywood or Oriented Strand Board) to Wood Based Floor System Framing Description: Abstract This specification covers minimum performance standards and test requirements for gap-filling construction adhesives for field-gluing plywood to lumber framing for floor systems. The adhesive shall conform to the strength and …
ASTM D3496 – Standard Practice for Preparation of Bituminous Mixture Specimens for Dynamic Modulus Testing (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Abstract This practice covers the standard for the preparation of cylindrical specimens of bituminous paving mixture suitable for dynamic modulus tests. This is intended for dense-graded bituminous concrete mixtures containing aggregates. The test specimens shall be prepared …
ASTM D3495 – Standard Test Method for Hexane Extraction of Leather Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method measures the amount of hexane-soluble lubricant present in all types of leather. Adequate lubrication prevents abrasion of leather fibers during flexing. This lubrication is generally obtained from the fat liquor added at the tannery. Some lubrication is …
ASTM D3493 – Standard Test Method for Carbon Black—Oil Absorption Number of Compressed Sample (COAN) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The oil absorption number of a carbon black is related to the processing and vulcanizate properties of rubber compounds containing the carbon black. 4.2 The difference between the regular oil absorption number and the oil absorption number …
ASTM D3492 – Standard Specification for Rubber Contraceptives (Male Condoms) Description: Abstract This specification covers the minimum requirements for individually packaged male condoms made from natural rubber latex and intended for single use. This specification does not cover the following: (1) specifications for lubricants or other dressing materials that may be applied to condoms and …
ASTM D349 – Standard Test Methods for Laminated Round Rods Used for Electrical Insulation (Withdrawn 2020) Description: Significance and Use 7.1 This test method is designed to provide data for the control and specification of materials and for characterization purposes in research and development of new materials. It is possible that the tensile properties will vary …
ASTM D3487 – Standard Specification for Mineral Insulating Liquid Used in Electrical Apparatus Description: Abstract This specification covers two types of new mineral insulating oils of petroleum origin for use as an insulating and cooling medium in new and existing power and distribution electrical apparatuses, such as transformers, regulators, reactors, circuit breakers, switchgear, and attendant …
ASTM D3479 – Standard Test Method for Tension-Tension Fatigue of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to yield tensile fatigue data for material specifications, research and development, quality assurance, and structural design and analysis. The primary test result is the fatigue life of the test specimen under a …
