ASTM C949-80 is used for detecting pores, cracks, or other voids that may be present in otherwise impermeable whiteware ceramics.

ASTM C949-80 is used for detecting pores, cracks, or other voids that may be present in otherwise impermeable whiteware ceramics.
Scope:
ASTM C949-80 is used for determining whether a ceramic has been properly fired (matured). Some degree of penetration is acceptable for the use or commercial quality of the item being tested. However, penetration of any extent may negate the usefulness of the ceramic.
Test Procedure:
Unglazed fragments of vitreous whiteware products are randomly selected. They are immersed in a Fuchsine dye solution at one or more pressures for a specific time. They are dried, broken, and inspected for the extent of dye penetration in the fragments.
Specimen size:
Freshly broken fragments, approximately 1⁄4 inches, are the smallest dimension, up to 3⁄4 inches, and the largest dimension of the whiteware ceramic. At least 75 % of the surface should be free of glaze or other surface treatment.
Data:
The penetration of the dye indicates the Porosity into the specimens.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
