ASTM D1425 – Standard Test Method for Evenness of Textile Strands Using Capacitance Testing Equipment Description: Significance and Use 6.1 This test method for the determination of evenness of textile strands is used extensively for acceptance testing of commercial shipments of filament or spun staple yarn, comber laps, roving, sliver, or tops. 6.2 Values of strand evenness …
ASTM D1424 – Standard Test Method for Tearing Strength of Fabrics by Falling-Pendulum (Elmendorf-Type) Apparatus Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method for the determination of tearing strength by the falling pendulum type apparatus is used in the trade for the acceptance testing of commercial shipments of fabrics, but caution is advised since technicians may …
ASTM D1423 – Standard Test Method for Twist in Yarns by Direct-Counting Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Test Method D1423 for testing twist in yarns by direct-counting is considered satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments because current estimates of between-laboratory precision are acceptable and the method has been used extensively in the trade for acceptance testing. 5.1.1 If …
ASTM D1417 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber Latices—Synthetic Description: Abstract This standard covers the test methods for synthetic rubber lattices ABR, BR, CR, IIR, NBR, NCR, NIR, PBR, PSBR, SBR, SCR, SIR, synthetic rubber lattices with substituted carboxylic acid groups on the polymer chain, and reinforced synthetic rubber lattices. Covered tests include the procedure …
ASTM D1415 – Standard Test Method for Rubber Property—International Hardness Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The International Hardness test is based on measurement of the penetration of a rigid ball into the rubber specimen under specified conditions. The measured penetration is converted into IRHD, the scale of degrees being so chosen that 0 represents a material …
ASTM D1414 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber O-Rings Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods provide acceptable procedures for quality control purposes and for the determination of engineering characteristics. Scope 1.1 These test methods describe the procedures for determining the physical properties of O-rings and changes in these properties due to aging. 1.2 The values stated …
ASTM D1413 – Standard Test Method for Wood Preservatives by Laboratory Soil-Block Cultures (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Significance and Use This test method is useful in the development of new wood preservatives and preservative systems by evaluating the minimum preservative retention to prevent decay under laboratory conditions. The results are used to facilitate target retentions in …
ASTM D1405 – Standard Test Method for Estimation of Net Heat of Combustion of Aviation Fuels (Withdrawn 2019) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is intended for use as a guide in cases where an experimental determination of heat of combustion is not available and cannot be made conveniently, and where an estimate is …
ASTM D1404 – Standard Test Method for Estimation of Deleterious Particles in Lubricating Grease Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The significance of the number of scratches as far as correlation with field performance is concerned has not been established. A particle which is abrasive to plastic will not necessarily be abrasive to steel or other bearing …
ASTM D1403 – Standard Test Methods for Cone Penetration of Lubricating Grease Using One-Quarter and One-Half Scale Cone Equipment Description: Significance and Use 5.1 These test methods are applicable to greases of National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) consistency numbers 0 to 4 and are intended for use only where the size of the sample prevents the …
