ASTM D1630 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—Abrasion Resistance (Footwear Abrader) Description: Significance and Use 3.1 It is recognized that when comparing different types of rubber materials, the service performance may not correlate to the results of this predictive test. 3.2 This test method should not be used as a measure of abrasion resistance for compositions …
ASTM D1623 – Standard Test Method for Tensile and Tensile Adhesion Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics Description: Abstract This test method establishes standard procedure for determining the tensile and tensile adhesion properties of rigid cellular plastics in the form of test specimens of standard shape under defined conditions of temperature, humidity, and testing machine speed. …
ASTM D1622 – Standard Test Method for Apparent Density of Rigid Cellular Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 If the material to be tested includes forming skins, the apparent overall density, or the apparent core density, or both, shall be determined. If the material does not have forming skins, the term overall density is not applicable. …
ASTM D1621 – Standard Test Method for Compressive Properties of Rigid Cellular Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides information regarding the behavior of cellular materials under compressive loads. Test data is obtained, and from a complete load-deformation curve it is possible to compute the compressive stress at any load (such as compressive …
ASTM D1619 – Standard Test Methods for Carbon Black—Sulfur Content Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The total sulfur content of a carbon black is useful in determining whether a material meets a customer’s specifications, providing data for performing a sulfur material balance around a process for environmental monitoring and reporting, and in calculations for reconstructing a …
ASTM D1618 – Standard Test Method for Carbon Black Extractables—Transmittance of Toluene Extract Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The toluene discoloration value provides an estimate of toluene-soluble discoloring residues present on the carbon black. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the degree of toluene discoloration by carbon black extractables and is useful in controlling …
ASTM D1614 – Standard Test Method for Alkalinity in Acetone Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a measurement of alkalinity in acetone. The results of this measurement can be used for specification acceptance. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination in acetone of alkalinity calculated as ammonia (NH3). 1.2 The following applies to all …
