ASTM D3163 – Standard Test Method for Determining Strength of Adhesively Bonded Rigid Plastic Lap-Shear Joints in Shear by Tension Loading Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Due to the increased use of adhesive-bonded plastics as a result of the inherent advantages afforded by bonded rather than mechanically fastened joints, particularly the alleviation of stress raisers and …
ASTM D3161 – Standard Test Method for Wind Resistance of Steep Slope Roofing Products (Fan-Induced Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Most steep slope roofing products that have demonstrated wind resistance by this test have also performed well in use. Natural wind conditions differ with respect to intensity, duration, and turbulence; these conditions are beyond the …
ASTM D3160 – Standard Test Method for Phenol Content of Cumene (Isopropylbenzene) or AMS (α–Methylstyrene) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is useful in determining phenol in the range from 5 to 50 mg/kg in commercially available cumene or AMS. 4.2 Phenol will inhibit certain reactions involving cumene or AMS. Scope 1.1 This test method covers …
ASTM D3148 – Standard Test Method for Elastic Moduli of Intact Rock Core Specimens in Uniaxial Compression (Withdrawn 2005) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of elastic moduli of intact rock core specimens in uniaxial compression. It specifies the apparatus, instrumentation, and procedures for determining the stress-axial strain and the stress-lateral strain …
ASTM D3147 – Standard Test Method for Testing Stop-Leak Additives for Engine Coolants Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The screening procedures simulate the conditions of temperature, pressure, and circulation encountered in service. This test method will indicate whether a product is suitable for further evaluation in vehicles. Scope 1.1 This test method covers screening procedures for the …
ASTM D3143 – Standard Test Method for Flash Point of Cutback Asphalt with Tag Open-Cup Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is useful in determining that an asphalt cutback has been prepared with solvents that meet the desired range of flammability, and that the product has not been contaminated with lower flash point …
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 …
