ASTM D3174 – Standard Test Method for Ash in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke from Coal Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Ash, as determined by this test method, is the residue remaining after burning the coal and coke. Ash obtained differs in composition from the inorganic constituents present in the original coal. Incineration causes …
ASTM D3173 – Standard Test Method for Moisture in the Analysis Sample of Coal and Coke Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Moisture as determined by this test method is used for calculating other analytical results to a moisture free basis using procedures in Practice D3180. Moisture percent determined by this test method may be used in conjunction …
ASTM D3172 – Standard Practice for Proximate Analysis of Coal and Coke Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Test methods, as herein described, can be used to establish the rank of coals, show the ratio of combustible to incombustible constituents, provide the basis for buying and selling, and evaluate for beneficiation or for other purposes. Scope 1.1 This …
ASTM D3171 – Standard Test Methods for Constituent Content of Composite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A constituent content of a composite material must be known in order to analytically model the material properties (mechanical, physical, thermal, or electrical) of the composite which are affected by the reinforcement or matrix. Also, knowledge of the constituent …
ASTM D3170 – Standard Test Method for Chipping Resistance of Coatings Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Owners consider chipping of coatings, particularly on the leading faces and edges of automobile surfaces, unacceptable. In formulating a coating or coating system to meet service requirements, the resistance to chipping damage by flying objects such as gravel is one …
ASTM D3168 – Standard Practice for Qualitative Identification of Polymers in Emulsion Paints Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Identification of specific acrylic polymers in emulsion paints is often difficult or impossible by infrared alone. This is particularly true when the acrylic is present in a small amount as a comonomer with vinyl acetate, or when blended …
ASTM D3167 – Standard Test Method for Floating Roller Peel Resistance of Adhesives Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Use this test method for acceptance and process control testing. This test method may be used as an alternative to Test Method D1781 when that facility is not available. This test method is considered more severe since the angle of …
ASTM D3166 – Standard Test Method for Fatigue Properties of Adhesives in Shear by Tension Loading (Metal/Metal) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 While this test method is intended for use in metal-to-metal applications it may be used for measuring the fatigue properties of adhesives using plastic adherends, provided consideration is given to the thickness of the …
ASTM D3165 – Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Adhesives in Shear by Tension Loading of Single-Lap-Joint Laminated Assemblies Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is useful in that the joint configuration closely simulates the actual joint configuration of many bonded assemblies. Surface preparation of the adherends can affect the apparent shear strength …
ASTM D3164 – Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Adhesively Bonded Plastic Lap-Shear Sandwich Joints in Shear by Tension Loading Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Due to the increased use of adhesively bonded plastics as a result of the inherent advantages afforded by bonded rather than mechanically fastened joints, particularly the alleviation of stress risers …
