ASTM D1005 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Dry-Film Thickness of Organic Coatings Using Micrometers Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is particularly applicable to the measurement of free films and is also satisfactory for the measurement of films on laboratory test panels. 3.2 The accuracy and precision of the thickness measurements may be …
ASTM D1004 – Standard Test Method for Tear Resistance (Graves Tear) of Plastic Film and Sheeting Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Tear resistance of plastic film or sheeting is a complex function of its ultimate resistance to rupture. The specimen geometry and speed of testing in this test method are controlled to produce tearing in a …
ASTM D1003 – Standard Test Method for Haze and Luminous Transmittance of Transparent Plastics Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Light that is scattered upon passing through a film or sheet of a material can produce a hazy or smoky field when objects are viewed through the material. Another effect can be veiling glare, as occurs in …
ASTM D1002 – Standard Test Method for Apparent Shear Strength of Single-Lap-Joint Adhesively Bonded Metal Specimens by Tension Loading (Metal-to-Metal) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is primarily comparative. However, it does have application as a discriminator in determining variations in adherend surface preparation parameters and adhesive environmental durability. The test method has found …
ASTM D1000 – Standard Test Methods for Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive-Coated Tapes Used for Electrical and Electronic Applications Description: Scope 1.1 These test methods cover procedures for testing pressure-sensitive adhesive-coated tapes to be used as electrical insulation. These tapes are classified as follows: 1.1.1 Class 1—Non-elastomeric backings made from materials such as: Paper, flat or creped, Fabric, …
ASTM C501 – Standard Test Method for Relative Resistance to Wear of Unglazed Ceramic Tile by the Taber Abraser Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a means to quantify the abrasion resistance of unglazed ceramic tile and may be related to end-use performance, or used to comparatively rank material performance, or both. Abstract …
ASTM C995 – Standard Test Method for Time of Flow of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Through Inverted Slump Cone (Withdrawn 2008) Description: Significance and Use This test method provides a measure of the consistency and workability of fiber-reinforced concrete. The inverted slump-cone time is a better indicator than slump of the appropriate level of workability for fiber-reinforced …
ASTM C991 – Standard Specification for Flexible Fibrous Glass Insulation for Metal Buildings Description: Abstract This specification covers the classification, composition, and physical properties of flexible fibrous glass insulation for use as interior surface of walls and roofs of metal buildings. The basic insulation blanket is designed to be postprocessed by a laminating process that …
ASTM C99 – Standard Test Method for Modulus of Rupture of Dimension Stone Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is useful in indicating the differences in modulus of rupture between the various dimension stones. This test method also provides one element in comparing stones of the same type. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the …
ASTM C989 – Standard Specification for Slag Cement for Use in Concrete and Mortars Description: Abstract This specification covers three strength grades of finely ground granulated blast-furnace slag (Grades 80, 100, and 120) for use as a cementitious material in concrete and mortars. The slag shall contain no additions and shall conform to the sulfide …
