Measurements are made at shear rates close to 1 s−1. 5.2 In addition to the properties mentioned in …
ASTM D3363 – Standard Test Method for Film Hardness by Pencil Test Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Pencil hardness measurements have been used by the coatings industry for many years to determine the hardness of clear and pigmented organic coating films. This test method has also been used to determine the cure of these coatings, especially …
ASTM D3362 – Standard Test Method for Purity of Acrylate Esters by Gas Chromatography (Withdrawn 2011) Description: Significance and Use This test method provides a measurement of commonly found impurities in commercially available methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate. The measurement of these impurities and the results thereof can either individually or …
ASTM D3359 – Standard Test Methods for Rating Adhesion by Tape Test Description: Significance and Use 5.1 In order for a coating is to fulfill its function of protecting or decorating a substrate, the coating must remain adhered to the substrate. Because the substrate and its surface preparation (or lack thereof) have a drastic effect on …
ASTM D3345 – Standard Test Method for Laboratory Evaluation of Wood for Resistance to Subterranean Termites Description: Abstract This test method covers the laboratory evaluation of treated or untreated cellulosic material for its resistance to subterranean termites. This test should be considered as a screening test for treated material and further evaluation by field methods …
ASTM D3343 – Standard Test Method for Estimation of Hydrogen Content of Aviation Fuels Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is intended for use as a guide in cases in which an experimental determination of hydrogen content is not available. Table 1 shows a summary for the range of each variable used in developing the correlation. …
ASTM D3341 – Standard Test Method for Lead in Gasoline—Iodine Monochloride Method (Withdrawn 2022) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method determines the concentration of lead alkyl additives in gasoline. These additives improve the antiknock properties. Scope 1.1 This test method determines total lead in gasolines containing lead alkyls at concentrations between 0.026 g and 1.3 g Pb/L, …
ASTM D3340 – Standard Test Method for Lithium and Sodium in Lubricating Greases by Flame Photometer (Withdrawn 2013) Description: Significance and Use Lubricating greases can contain the lithium soap of hydroxy stearic acid or the sodium soap of various fatty acids as thickeners. The determination of total lithium or total sodium is a measure of …
ASTM D3339 – Standard Test Method for Acid Number of Petroleum Products by Semi-Micro Color Indicator Titration Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method measures the acid number of oils obtained from laboratory oxidation tests using smaller amounts of sample than Test Methods D974 or D664. It has specific application in Test Method D943 in which small aliquots of oil …
