ASTM D2017 – Standard Test Method of Accelerated Laboratory Test of Natural Decay Resistance of Woods (Withdrawn 2014) Description: Significance and Use This test method is useful in determining the relative decay resistance between various species of wood. It is an initial means of estimating the ability of a wood species to resist severe microbial …
ASTM D2015 – Standard Test Method for Gross Calorific Value of Coal and Coke by the Adiabatic Bomb Calorimeter (Withdrawn 2000) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the gross calorific value of coal and coke by the adiabatic bomb calorimeter. 1.2 The values stated in SI units and British thermal units …
ASTM D2013 – Standard Practice for Preparing Coal Samples for Analysis Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Other standards are used to collect the gross sample: Practice D2234/D2234M allows for one division of the gross sample before crushing. The mass and top size of the gross or divided sample collected by using these guides and practices are usually too …
ASTM D2008 – Standard Test Method for Ultraviolet Absorbance and Absorptivity of Petroleum Products Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The absorbance of liquids and the absorptivity of liquid and solids at specified wavelengths in the ultraviolet are useful in characterizing petroleum products. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the ultraviolet absorption of a variety …
ASTM D2007 – Standard Test Method for Characteristic Groups in Rubber Extender and Processing Oils and Other Petroleum-Derived Oils by the Clay-Gel Absorption Chromatographic Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The composition of the oil included in rubber compounds has a large effect on the characteristics and uses of the compounds. The determination of the saturates, …
ASTM D2000 – Standard Classification System for Rubber Products in Automotive Applications Description: Scope 1.1 This classification system covers the properties of vulcanized rubber materials (natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rubbers, alone or in combination) that are intended for, but not limited to, use in rubber products for automotive applications. NOTE 1: This classification system may serve …
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 …
