ASTM D4878 is used to determine polyol viscosity. At 25°C, this test technique determines polyol viscosity in the range of 10 to 100 000 mPa.s (cP).The values are considered as a standard when expressed in SI units.

Scope:
ASTM D4878 test is appropriate in research work or quality control specifications testing. The viscosity of a fluid is defined as its resistance to a uniformly continuous flow without turbulence or other influences.
Procedure
In ASTM D4878, enough sample is first placed in the smallest container to cover the immersion mark on the viscometer spindle and submerged in a constant temperature bath to the sample level. Samples are stirred occasionally to avoid trapping air bubbles and the temperature is checked at different places within the container to verify consistency. Viscometer spindle is immersed into a sample to the immersion line. Viscosity of the sample is tested using a 15-second rotation period. Spindles are cleaned after the analysis with a solvent appropriate for the polyol and equipment used, such as methanol or acetone.
Specimen Size
At 25°C, ASTM D4878 measures the viscosity of polyols in the range of 10 to 100 000 mPa.s (cP). The torque on a spindle revolving at constant speed in a liquid sample at 25 ± 0.1°C is used to determine the viscosity.
Data:
Using this equation the kinematic viscosity, v is determined using ASTM D4878:
V= C × t
Where:
V= kinematic viscosity, mm2/s
C=calibration constant of viscometer, (mm2/s)/s
t= mean flow time, s
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.
