ASTM D1743 – Standard Test Method for Determining Corrosion Preventive Properties of Lubricating Greases Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method differentiates the relative corrosion-preventive capabilities of lubricating greases under the conditions of the test. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the corrosion preventive properties of greases using grease-lubricated tapered roller bearings stored …
ASTM D1742 – Standard Test Method for Oil Separation from Lubricating Grease During Storage Description: Significance and Use 5.1 When a lubricating grease separates oil, the remaining composition increases in consistency. This can affect the ability of the product to function as designed. 5.2 It has been found that the results of this test correlate directly with …
ASTM D1740 – Standard Test Method for Luminometer Numbers of Aviation Turbine Fuels (Withdrawn 2006) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the flame radiation characteristics of aviation turbine fuels and other similar distillate fuels expressed in terms of luminometer numbers. There is good correlation between smoke point (Test Method D 1322) …
ASTM D1737 – Standard Test Method for Elongation of Attached Organic Coatings with Cylindrical Mandrel Apparatus (Withdrawn 1987)
ASTM D1735 – Standard Practice for Testing Water Resistance of Coatings Using Water Fog Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Water can cause the degradation of coatings, so knowledge of how a coating resists water is helpful in predicting its service life. Failure in water fog tests may be caused by a number of factors, including …
ASTM D1730 – Standard Practices for Preparation of Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy Surfaces for Painting Description: Abstract These practices cover the different procedures employed in performing four types of treatments for the preparation of aluminum and aluminum alloy surfaces for painting. These processes are broadly classified into the following treatment types: solvent cleaning (Type A); chemical …
ASTM D1729 – Standard Practice for Visual Appraisal of Colors and Color Differences of Diffusely-Illuminated Opaque Materials Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Although color measuring instruments are widely used, color matches are usually checked visually. The standardization of visual examination has greatly improved the uniformity of products and the accuracy of color matches. 4.2 The use of …
ASTM D1726 – Standard Test Methods for Hydrolyzable Chloride Content of Liquid Epoxy Resins Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The hydrolyzable chloride content of liquid epoxy resins is an important variable in determining their reactivity and the properties of coatings made from them. These test methods may be used to determine the hydrolyzable chloride content of …
ASTM D1722 – Standard Test Method for Water Miscibility of Water-Soluble Solvents Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Water-insoluble materials present in a solvent expected to be completely water miscible may interfere with many uses of the solvent. This test method provides a measure of the miscibility of water-soluble solvents with a polar medium-water. It also provides …
ASTM D1709 – Standard Test Methods for Impact Resistance of Plastic Film by the Free-Falling Dart Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Test Methods A and B are used to establish the weight of the dart when 50 % of the specimens fail under the conditions specified. Data obtained by one test method cannot be compared directly …
