ASTM D570 test method is used for measuring the relative water absorption by plastic samples. A specimen is immersed in distilled water for different duration at different temperatures, and at last, its absorbance is compared with other plastics, and data is calculated.
Scope:
In ASTM D570 method, the relative rate of absorption of water by plastics when immersed is determined. This test method is suitable for use with all sorts of plastics, including cast, hot-molded, and cold-molded resinous products, as well as homogeneous and laminated plastics. This rate of water absorption test method serves two purposes: first, as a guide to the proportion of water absorbed by a material, and second, as a control test on the uniformity of a product. The second function is particularly useful for sheet, rod, and tube arms when the test is performed on the finished product.
Procedure:
This method, ASTM D570, first involves the twenty-four-hour immersion in which the conditioned specimen are placed in a container filled with distilled water, and its temperature should be maintained at 23 6 1°C (73.4 6 1.8°F). After a 2-hour immersion, a specimen may be weighed to the nearest 0.001 g, then returned in the water and weighed again after 24 hours. Then specimens are placed in a container of boiling distilled water for different hours. In the end, data is compared with absorption values of other plastics.
Data:
In ASTM D570 test method, the percentage increase in weight can be calculated as follow: Increase in weight, % = wet weight conditioned weight/conditioned weight × 100 Percentage of matter lost during immersion can be calculated as follow: Soluble matter lost= conditioned weight reconditioned weight/conditioned weight × 100
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.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
