ASTM D1997 – Standard Test Method for Laboratory Determination of the Fiber Content of Peat and Organic Soils by Dry Mass Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for determining the quantity of fibers in a peat or organic soil specimen. Fiber content is one parameter used to classify the peat as determined …
ASTM D1993 – Standard Test Method for Precipitated Silica-Surface Area by Multipoint BET Nitrogen Adsorption Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is used to measure the surface area of precipitated, hydrated silicas that is available to the nitrogen molecule using the multipoint (B. E. T.) method. Single point nitrogen surface area is measured in …
ASTM D1988 – Standard Test Method for Mercaptans in Natural Gas Using Length-of-Stain Detector Tubes Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The measurement of mercaptans in natural gas is important, because mercaptans are often added as odorants to natural gas to provide a warning property. The odor provided by the mercaptan serves to warn consumers (for example, …
ASTM D198 – Standard Test Methods of Static Tests of Lumber in Structural Sizes Description: Significance and Use 6.1 The flexural properties established by this test method provide: 6.1.1 Data for use in development of grading rules and specifications; 6.1.2 Data for use in development of design values for structural members; 6.1.3 Data on the influence of imperfections on …
ASTM D1979 – Standard Test Method for Free Formaldehyde Content of Amino Resins (Withdrawn 2006) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of free formaldehyde in amino resins and their aqueous and nonaqueous solutions. Amino resin-free formaldehyde levels from about 0.02 to 5.0% can be determined by this test method. The applicability of …
ASTM D1977 – Standard Test Method for Nickel and Vanadium in FCC Equilibrium Catalysts by Hydrofluoric/Sulfuric Acid Decomposition and Atomic Spectroscopic Analysis Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is a procedure by which catalyst samples may be compared on an inter- or intra-laboratory basis. Catalyst producers and user should find this test method to …
ASTM D1976 – Standard Test Method for Elements in Water by Inductively-Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for the determination of element concentrations in many natural waters and wastewaters. It has the capability for the simultaneous determination of up to 29 elements. High sensitivity analysis and larger …
ASTM D1971 – Standard Practices for Digestion of Water Samples for Determination of Metals by Flame Atomic Absorption, Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption, Plasma Emission Spectroscopy, or Plasma Mass Spectrometry Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The determination of metals in water often requires the measurement of total (suspended and dissolved) metals as well as soluble (dissolved) metals. …
ASTM D1970 – Standard Specification for Self-Adhering Polymer Modified Bituminous Sheet Materials Used as Steep Roofing Underlayment for Ice Dam Protection Description: Abstract This specification covers the standards for polymer modified bituminous sheet materials proposed for use as underlayment on roof eaves, or valleys, or both, to prevent leakage of shingle, tile or metal roofs …
ASTM D197 – Standard Test Method for Sampling and Fineness Test of Pulverized Coal Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides a means for assisting in the evaluation of pulverizers and pulverizer systems in terms of fineness specifications. It may also be used to confirm the influence of coal fineness on combustion performance and …
