ASTM D1831 – Standard Test Method for Roll Stability of Lubricating Grease Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The roll stability test is widely used in specifications. Test results are significant insofar as they can show a directional change in consistency that could occur in service. No accurate correlation is established between the test results and shear …
ASTM D1824 – Standard Test Method for Apparent Viscosity of Plastisols and Organosols at Low Shear Rates Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The suitability of a dispersion resin for any given application process is dependent upon its viscosity characteristics. 5.2 The viscosity defines the flow behavior of a plastisol or organosol under low shear. This viscosity relates …
ASTM D1822 – Standard Test Method for Determining the Tensile-Impact Resistance of Plastics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Tensile-impact energy is the energy required to break a standard tension-impact specimen in tension by a single swing of a standard calibrated pendulum under a set of standard conditions (see Note 2). To compensate for the minor differences in …
ASTM D1816 – Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Using VDE Electrodes Description: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean vulputate laoreet volutpat. Proin Significance and Use 3.1 The dielectric breakdown voltage of an insulating liquid is of importance as a measure of the liquid’s ability to withstand electric stress …
ASTM D1815 – Standard Test Method for Water Absorption (Static) of Vegetable Tanned Leather Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is currently used to determine compliance with specifications for water absorption of impregnated sole leather. The significance of the test method is limited by the static conditions employed, and the results do not reflect …
ASTM D1814 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thickness of Leather Units Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is designed for the routine measurement of the thickness of leather units as a means of production control and determining conformance to specifications. It utilizes a secondary type of gage that is capable of rapid measurement. …
ASTM D1814 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thickness of Leather Units Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is designed for the routine measurement of the thickness of leather units as a means of production control and determining conformance to specifications. It utilizes a secondary type of gage that is capable of rapid measurement. …
ASTM D1813 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thickness of Leather Test Specimens Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method shall be used where precise dimensions are necessary for calculation of properties expressed in physical units. It is not intended to replace practical thickness measurements based on commercial portable tools, nor is it implied that …
ASTM D1796 – Standard Test Method for Water and Sediment in Fuel Oils by the Centrifuge Method (Laboratory Procedure) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The water and sediment content of fuel oil is significant because it can cause corrosion of equipment and problems in processing. A determination of water and sediment content is required to measure …
ASTM E1461 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Diffusivity by the Flash Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Data obtained by this test method have been used to predict the behavior of plastic sheeting at low temperatures only if the conditions of deformation are similar to those specified in this test method. This test method is …
