ASTM D1762 – Standard Test Method for Chemical Analysis of Wood Charcoal Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Low quality wood and wood residues are used for wood charcoal. This test method is used for evaluating the charcoal to assess the methods of production and assist in developing new methods. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination …
ASTM D1761 – Standard Test Methods for Mechanical Fasteners in Wood and Wood-Based Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The resistance of a species of wood or a wood-based product to withdrawal of nails, staples, or screws is a measure of its ability to hold or be held to an adjoining object by means of such …
ASTM D1757 – Standard Test Method for Sulfate Sulfur in Ash from Coal and Coke (Withdrawn 2009) Description: Significance and Use Laboratory furnace temperature and furnace ventilation have an influence on SO3 retention in laboratory ash. Consequently, sulfur in ash as determined in the laboratory cannot be assumed to be equivalent to sulfur present in the …
ASTM D1754 – Standard Test Method for Effects of Heat and Air on Asphaltic Materials (Thin-Film Oven Test) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This method indicates approximate change in properties of asphalt during conventional hot-mixing at about 150 °C [302 °F] as indicated by viscosity, penetration, or ductility measurements. It yields a residue which approximates the asphalt condition …
ASTM D1748 – Standard Test Method for Rust Protection by Metal Preservatives in the Humidity Cabinet Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is used for measuring the relative abilities of metal preservatives to prevent the rusting of steel panels under conditions of high humidity. It should not be relied upon to predict the effectiveness …
ASTM D1747 – Standard Test Method for Refractive Index of Viscous Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Refractive index is a fundamental physical property that can be used in conjunction with other properties to characterize pure hydrocarbons and their mixtures. 5.2 The use of refractive index in correlative methods for the determination of the gross composition of …
ASTM D1744 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Water in Liquid Petroleum Products by Karl Fischer Reagent (Withdrawn 2016) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Knowledge of the water content of petroleum products can be useful to predict quality and performance characteristics of the product. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of water in the …
ASTM D1743 – Standard Test Method for Determining Corrosion Preventive Properties of Lubricating Greases Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method differentiates the relative corrosion-preventive capabilities of lubricating greases under the conditions of the test. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the corrosion preventive properties of greases using grease-lubricated tapered roller bearings stored …
ASTM D1742 – Standard Test Method for Oil Separation from Lubricating Grease During Storage Description: Significance and Use 5.1 When a lubricating grease separates oil, the remaining composition increases in consistency. This can affect the ability of the product to function as designed. 5.2 It has been found that the results of this test correlate directly with …
ASTM D1740 – Standard Test Method for Luminometer Numbers of Aviation Turbine Fuels (Withdrawn 2006) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the flame radiation characteristics of aviation turbine fuels and other similar distillate fuels expressed in terms of luminometer numbers. There is good correlation between smoke point (Test Method D 1322) …
