ASTM D2158 – Standard Test Method for Residues in Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Control over the residue content (required by Specification D1835) is of considerable importance in end-use applications of LPG. In liquid feed systems, residues can lead to troublesome deposits and, in vapor withdrawal systems, residues that are carried over can …
ASTM D2155 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Fire Resistance of Aircraft Hydraulic Fluids by Autoignition Temperature Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Autoignition is dependent on the chemical and physical properties of the material and the method and apparatus employed for its determination. The autoignition temperature by a given method does not necessarily represent the …
ASTM D2148 – Standard Test Methods for Bondable Silicone Rubber Tapes Used for Electrical Insulation Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Self-adhesion is a primary initial property since it affects layer-to-layer bonding. The integrity of the bond can significantly affect the electrical and physical performance of the insulation system. Therefore, the degree of self-adhesion is directly related …
ASTM D2140 – Standard Practice for Calculating Carbon-Type Composition of Insulating Oils of Petroleum Origin Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The primary purpose of this practice is to characterize the carbon-type composition of an oil. It is also applicable in observing the effect on oil constitution, of various refining processes such as hydrotreating, solvent extraction, and …
ASTM D2137 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Property—Brittleness Point of Flexible Polymers and Coated Fabrics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods cover the evaluation of rubber materials or fabrics coated therewith subjected to low-temperature flex with an impact under well-defined conditions of striker speed. The response is largely dependent on effects of low …
ASTM D2136 – Standard Test Method for Coated Fabrics—Low-Temperature Bend Test Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method evaluates the ability of coated fabrics to withstand a prescribed bend at an established low temperature. Fabrics coated with polymeric materials are used in many applications requiring low temperature flexing. Data obtained using this test method may …
ASTM D2126 – Standard Test Method for Response of Rigid Cellular Plastics to Thermal and Humid Aging Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Because of the wide variety of potential uses of rigid cellular plastics, artificial exposure to estimate the effective behavior of these materials must be based, to a great extent, on the intended application. Toward …
ASTM D2124 – Standard Test Method for Analysis of Components in Poly(Vinyl Chloride) Compounds Using an Infrared Spectrophotometric Technique (Withdrawn 2020) Description: Significance and Use PVC compounds are used in a wide variety of products and hence they are formulated to provide a wide range of physical properties. The physical properties required in a compound …
