ASTM D2786 – Standard Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types Analysis of Gas-Oil Saturates Fractions by High Ionizing Voltage Mass Spectrometry (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A knowledge of the hydrocarbon composition of process streams and petroleum products boiling within the range of 205 °C to 540 °C (400 °F to 1000 °F) is useful in following the effect …
ASTM D2784 – Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Liquefied Petroleum Gases (Oxy-Hydrogen Burner or Lamp) (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Significance and Use It is important to have the sulfur content of liquefied petroleum gases at low enough concentration to meet government regulations. The presence of sulfur can result in corrosion of metal surfaces. Sulfur can …
ASTM D2783 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Extreme-Pressure Properties of Lubricating Fluids (Four-Ball Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method, used for specification purposes, differentiates between lubricating fluids having low, medium, and high level of extreme-pressure properties. The user of this method should determine to his own satisfaction whether results of this …
ASTM D2782 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Extreme-Pressure Properties of Lubricating Fluids (Timken Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used widely for the determination of extreme pressure properties for specification purposes. Users are cautioned to carefully consider the precision and bias statements herein when establishing specification limits. Scope 1.1 This test …
ASTM D2780 – Standard Test Method for Solubility of Fixed Gases in Liquids (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use The solubility of fixed gases in liquids is an important engineering parameter in the design of hydraulic systems. It is a measure of the amount of gas which can be released from solution when a system …
ASTM D2766 – Standard Test Method for Specific Heat of Liquids and Solids (Withdrawn 2018) Description: Significance and Use The specific heat or heat capacity of a substance is a thermodynamic property that is a measure of the amount of energy required to produce a given temperature change within a unit quantity of that substance. …
ASTM D2765 – Standard Test Methods for Determination of Gel Content and Swell Ratio of Crosslinked Ethylene Plastics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Many important properties of crosslinked ethylene plastics vary with the gel content. Hence, determination of the gel content provides a means of both controlling the process and rating the quality of finished products. …
ASTM D276 – Standard Test Methods for Identification of Fibers in Textiles (Withdrawn 2021) Description: Significance and Use These test methods are a generally reliable means of identifying the generic types of fibers present in a sample of textile material of unknown composition. The methods are generally not useful for distinguishing fibers of the same …
ASTM D2734 – Standard Test Methods for Void Content of Reinforced Plastics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The void content of a composite may significantly affect some of its mechanical properties. Higher void contents usually mean lower fatigue resistance, greater susceptibility to water penetration and weathering, and increased variation or scatter in strength properties. The knowledge …
ASTM D2724 – Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Bonded, Fused, and Laminated Apparel Fabrics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method for the determination of bond strength of bonded, fused, or laminated apparel fabrics, is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of bonded and laminated apparel fabrics. 5.1.1 If there are differences …
