ASTM D178 – Standard Specification for Rubber Insulating Matting Description: Significance and Use X1.3Significance and Use X1.3.1 Tests made on a cellular plastic under conditions herein prescribed can be of considerable value in comparing the rate of burning and/or extent and time of burning of different materials, in controlling manufacturing processes, or as a measure of …
ASTM D1777 – Standard Test Method for Thickness of Textile Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments since current estimates of between-laboratory precision are acceptable, and this test method is used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.1.1 In case of a dispute arising from …
ASTM D1776 – Standard Practice for Conditioning and Testing Textiles Description: Abstract This practice covers the conditioning and testing of textiles in those instances where such conditioning is specified in a test method. Because prior exposure of textiles to high or low humidity may affect the equilibrium moisture pick-up, a procedure also is given for …
ASTM D1762 – Standard Test Method for Chemical Analysis of Wood Charcoal Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Low quality wood and wood residues are used for wood charcoal. This test method is used for evaluating the charcoal to assess the methods of production and assist in developing new methods. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination …
ASTM D1761 – Standard Test Methods for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood and Wood-Based Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The resistance of a species of wood or a wood-based product to withdrawal of nails, staples, or screws is a measure of its ability to hold or be held to an adjoining object by means of such …
ASTM D1757 – Standard Test Method for Sulfate Sulfur in Ash from Coal and Coke (Withdrawn 2009) Description: Significance and Use Laboratory furnace temperature and furnace ventilation have an influence on SO3 retention in laboratory ash. Consequently, sulfur in ash as determined in the laboratory cannot be assumed to be equivalent to sulfur present in the …
ASTM D1754 – Standard Test Method for Effects of Heat and Air on Asphaltic Materials (Thin-Film Oven Test) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This method indicates approximate change in properties of asphalt during conventional hot-mixing at about 150 °C [302 °F] as indicated by viscosity, penetration, or ductility measurements. It yields a residue which approximates the asphalt condition …
ASTM D1748 – Standard Test Method for Rust Protection by Metal Preservatives in the Humidity Cabinet Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is used for measuring the relative abilities of metal preservatives to prevent the rusting of steel panels under conditions of high humidity. It should not be relied upon to predict the effectiveness …
ASTM D1747 – Standard Test Method for Refractive Index of Viscous Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Refractive index is a fundamental physical property that can be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures. 5.2 The use of refractive index in correlative methods for the determination of the gross composition of …
ASTM D1744 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Water in Liquid Petroleum Products by Karl Fischer Reagent (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Knowledge of the water content of petroleum products can be useful to predict quality and performance characteristics of the product. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of water in the …
