ASTM D2805 – Standard Test Method for Hiding Power of Paints by Reflectometry Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This is a precise instrumental method giving results having an absolute physical significance without reference to a comparison paint. It should be used when maximum precision and minimum subjectivity are required, as in testing specification coatings or evaluating …
ASTM D2804 – Standard Test Method for Purity of Methyl Ethyl Ketone By Gas Chromatography Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a measurement of commonly found impurities in commercially available methyl ethyl ketone. The measurement of these impurities and the results thereof can individually or when totaled and subtracted from 100 (assay) be …
ASTM D2803 – Standard Guide for Testing Filiform Corrosion Resistance of Organic Coatings on Metal Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Some organic coatings applied to metal substrates exhibit filiform corrosion when there is a break in the coating film and the relative humidity is in the 70 to 95 % range. 5.2 This guide can be used to …
ASTM D2794 – Standard Test Method for Resistance of Organic Coatings to the Effects of Rapid Deformation (Impact) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Coatings attached to substrates are subjected to damaging impacts during the manufacture of articles and their use in service. In its use over many years, this test method for impact resistance has been …
ASTM D2789 – Standard Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types in Low Olefinic Gasoline by Mass Spectrometry (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A knowledge of the hydrocarbon composition of gasoline process streams, blending stocks and finished motor fuels is useful in following the effect of changes in plant operating conditions, diagnosing process upsets, blending finished …
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Test Method for Hydrocarbon Types Analysis of Gas-Oil Saturates Fractions by High Ionizing Voltage Mass Spectrometry (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 A knowledge of the hydrocarbon composition of process streams and petroleum products boiling within the range of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ASTM D2784 – Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Liquefied Petroleum Gases (Oxy-Hydrogen Burner or Lamp) (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Significance and Use It is important to have the sulfur content of liquefied petroleum gases at low enough concentration to meet government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 …
