ASTM D1903 – Standard Practice for Determining the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Electrical Insulating Liquids of Petroleum Origin, and Askarels Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Knowledge of the coefficient of thermal expansion of a liquid is essential to compute the required size of a container to accommodate a volume of liquid over the full temperature …
ASTM D1895 – Standard Test Methods for Apparent Density, Bulk Factor, and Pourability of Plastic Materials Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods provide useful indexes of performance of plastic materials such as powders and granules with respect to their handling in packaging and fabrication. 4.2 Apparent density is a measure of the fluffiness of a …
ASTM D1894 – Standard Test Method for Static and Kinetic Coefficients of Friction of Plastic Film and Sheeting (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Measurements of frictional properties may be made on a film or sheeting specimen when sliding over itself or over another substance. The coefficients of friction are related to the slip properties …
ASTM D189 – Standard Test Method for Conradson Carbon Residue of Petroleum Products Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The carbon residue value of burner fuel serves as a rough approximation of the tendency of the fuel to form deposits in vaporizing pot-type and sleeve-type burners. Similarly, provided alkyl nitrates are absent (or if present, provided the …
ASTM D1889 – Standard Test Method for Turbidity of Water (Withdrawn 2007) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of turbidity in water and wastewater. 1.2 This test method is applicable to the measurement of turbidities in the range from 1.0 to 40 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). 1.3 Higher turbidities may be measured …
ASTM D1883 – Standard Test Method for California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of Laboratory-Compacted Soils Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method can be used in a number of engineering applications such as to evaluate the potential strength of subgrade, subbase, and base course materials, including recycled materials for use in the design of flexible roads …
ASTM D1882 – Standard Test Method for Effect of Cooling System Chemical Solutions on Organic Finishes for Automotive Vehicles Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method will distinguish between cooling system chemical solutions that do or do not have a tendency to change the surface appearance when applied to organic finishes used on vehicles. Such …
ASTM D1881 – Standard Test Method for Foaming Tendencies of Engine Coolants in Glassware Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test method generally will distinguish coolants that have a tendency to foam excessively from those that are suitable for further evaluation to determine performance in actual service. NOTE 1: In use, the foaming tendency of a coolant …
ASTM D1876 – Standard Test Method for Peel Resistance of Adhesives (T-Peel Test) Description: Abstract This test method is primarily intended for determining the relative peel resistance of adhesive bonds between flexible adherends by means of a T-type specimen using a tension testing machine. The bent, unbonded ends of the test specimen shall be clamped …
ASTM D1875 – Standard Test Method for Density of Adhesives in Fluid Form Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is particularly applicable where the fluid has too high a viscosity or where a component is too volatile for a specific gravity balance determination. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of density (weight per …
