ASTM D1662 – Standard Test Method for Active Sulfur in Cutting Oils Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method measures the quantity of sulfur available to react with metallic surfaces to form solid lubricating aids at the temperature of the test. Rates of reaction are metal type, temperature, and time dependent. Scope 1.1 This test method …
ASTM D1657 – Standard Test Method for Density or Relative Density of Light Hydrocarbons by Pressure Hydrometer Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The density or relative density of light hydrocarbons and liquefied petroleum gases is used in custody transfer quantity calculations or to satisfy transportation, storage, and regulatory requirements. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination …
ASTM D1655 – Standard Specification for Aviation Turbine Fuels Description: Abstract This specification covers purchases of aviation turbine fuel under contract and is intended primarily for use by purchasing agencies. This specification does not include all fuels satisfactory for reciprocating aviation turbine engines, but rather, defines the following specific types of aviation fuel for civil …
ASTM D1654 – Standard Test Method for Evaluation of Painted or Coated Specimens Subjected to Corrosive Environments Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This method provides a means of evaluating and comparing basic corrosion performance of the substrate, pretreatment, or coating system, or combination thereof, after exposure to corrosive environments. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the treatment …
ASTM D1653 – Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Organic Coating Films Description: Significance and Use 5.1 One of the factors affecting the performance provided by an organic coating is its capability of resisting or aiding the passage of water vapor. In some services, for example, exterior wood and masonry, the coating has to …
ASTM D1652 – Standard Test Method for Epoxy Content of Epoxy Resins Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The epoxy content of epoxy resins is an important variable in determining their reactivity and the properties of coatings made from them. These test methods may be used to determine the epoxy content of manufactured epoxy resins and confirm …
ASTM D1646 – Standard Test Methods for Rubber—Viscosity, Stress Relaxation, and Pre-Vulcanization Characteristics (Mooney Viscometer) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Viscosity—Viscosity values determined by this test method depend on molecular structure, molecular weight, and non-rubber constituents that may be present. Since rubber behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid, no simple relationship exists between the molecular weight and …
ASTM D1644 – Standard Test Methods for Nonvolatile Content of Varnishes Description: Significance and Use 2.1 These test methods are applicable to varnish and are useful to producers and users in determining nonvolatile content and are sometimes an appropriate measure of the film-forming matter in varnish. Scope 1.1 These test methods determine the fraction of a varnish …
ASTM D1640 – Standard Test Methods for Drying, Curing, or Film Formation of Organic Coatings Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods can be used to determine the various stages and rates of drying, curing, and film formation of organic coatings for comparing types of coatings, assessing the impact of compositional changes on drying time, …
ASTM D1639 – Standard Test Method for Acid Value of Organic Coating Materials (Withdrawn 2005) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the free acidity present in the nonvolatile portion of varnishes, oils, certain resins, and paint vehicles, by the reaction with standard alkali solution. 1.2 If carboxylic anhydrides are present, only …
