ASTM D2212 – Standard Test Method for Slit Tear Resistance of Leather Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is designed to measure the load required to tear leather at a slit cut perpendicular to its surface. Tanners and leather buyers have found that it gives an indication of the resistance of the cross-sectional thickness …
ASTM D2211 – Standard Test Method for Elongation of Leather Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The elongation measurement may be made at any designated load and is expressed as a percentage of the original distance between the jaws or between bench marks of the unstretched specimen. The speed of the machine is important. Speeds under or …
ASTM D2209 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength of Leather Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The tensile strength test gives a reliable indication of the quality of the leather. Improperly lubricated and partially degraded leathers give low values for tensile strength. The orientation of the specimen in relation to the backbone and the location of …
ASTM D2208 – Standard Test Method for Breaking Strength of Leather by the Grab Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The measurement of the strength of leather is often necessary in order to determine its suitability for its intended application. This test method is recommended for use on light, soft leathers, narrow strap, welt, lace and …
ASTM D2207 – Standard Test Method for Bursting Strength of Leather by the Ball Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to measure the bursting strength of leather by measuring the force required to force a spherical ended plunger through a piece of leather. The bursting load and extension will be generally …
ASTM D2197 – Standard Test Method for Adhesion of Organic Coatings by Scrape Adhesion Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Coatings to perform satisfactorily must adhere to the substrates on which they are applied. This test method has been found useful in differentiating the degree of adhesion of coatings to substrates. It is most useful in providing …
ASTM D2196 – Standard Test Methods for Rheological Properties of Non-Newtonian Materials by Rotational Viscometer Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Test Method A is used for determining the apparent viscosity at a given rotational speed, although viscosities at two or more speeds give better characterization of a non-Newtonian material than does a single viscosity measurement. 3.2 With …
ASTM D2193 – Standard Test Method for Hydroquinone in Vinyl Acetate Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a measurement of inhibitor level in vinyl acetate. The results of these measurements can be used for specification acceptance. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of hydroquinone in the range from 1 to 20 ppm …
ASTM D2192 – Standard Test Method for Purity of Aldehydes and Ketones (Withdrawn 2021) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a measurement of purity (assay) of aldehydes and ketones. The results of these measurements can be used for specification acceptance. 4.2 The precision of this test method is applicable only to material having a …
ASTM D2191 – Standard Test Method for Acetaldehyde Content of Vinyl Acetate Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a measurement of acetaldehyde content in vinyl acetate. The results of these measurements can be used for specification acceptance. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of trace quantities of acetaldehyde, in the range from …
