ASTM D1688 – Standard Test Methods for Copper in Water Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Copper is found in naturally occurring minerals principally as a sulfide, oxide, or carbonate. It makes up approximately 0.01 % of the earth’s crust and is obtained commercially from such ores as chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). Copper is also found in biological complexes such …
ASTM D1683 – Standard Test Method for Failure in Sewn Seams of Woven Fabrics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The manufacturing of textile products uses seam engineering to determine the best combination of sewing thread, stitch type, seam type, and stitch density to construct the end use structure. These four seam engineering variables contribute to a …
ASTM D1682 – Standard Methods of Test for Breaking Load and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (Withdrawn 1992) Description:
ASTM D1670 – Standard Test Method for Failure End Point in Accelerated and Outdoor Weathering of Bituminous Materials Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The extent of cracking or pitting of bituminous films is a measure of the extent of deterioration due to weathering. Failure due to cracking is more accurately determined electrically than visually. 4.2 Failure determined …
ASTM D1667 – Standard Specification for Flexible Cellular Materials—Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Foam (Closed-Cell) Description: Abstract This specification covers flexible closed-cell or non-interconnecting cellular products, the elastomer content of which is predominantly poly(vinyl chloride) foam or copolymers thereof. Materials shall be produced in sheet, strip, molded, or simple specific shapes. Complete details about apparatuses needed, specimen …
ASTM D1665 – Standard Test Method for Engler Specific Viscosity of Tar Products (Withdrawn 2023) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful in characterizing the consistency of tar and tar distillates by measuring their flow properties. It is applicable to materials that are readily liquid at temperatures up to 100 °C. Scope 1.1 This test …
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 …
