ASTM E252 Thickness of Foil, Thin Sheet, and Film by Mass Measurement
The standard test method ASTM E252 is used for determining the thickness of foil and thin sheets by mass measurement. The thickness is often associated with the area density of the object. The values stated in inch-pound units are considered standard.
Scope:
ASTM E252 standard test covers the procedure to estimate the thickness of metallic foils and thin sheets. It can be used for measuring a thickness of 0.015 inches (0.35 mm) and less. This method is applicable to a wide range of films, foils, or sheets.
Test procedure:
In ASTM E252, the blank determination is done for 8.000 ± 0.008 inch2representative of the foil or sheet for which the thickness is to be determined. The surface of the specimen is cleaned using a suitable solvent (such as acetone) to ensure that the surface is free of soil or any other contaminant. The mass of the clean, dry specimen is determined to the nearest 0.1 mg. The thickness of the foil or sheet is then evaluated using the density and mass obtained from the above-mentioned procedure.

Specimen size:
Specimens ranging in size from 8 to 32 inch2 are convenient to handle. The area of the specimen under the ASTM E252 test should be known and controlled to an accuracy of ± 0.1%.
Data:
In ASTM E252, the thickness is calculated using the following relationship,
Where,
T = thickness of the foil, sheet, or film, inch (or cm),
M = mass of the specimen, g,
A = area of the specimen, inch2 (or cm2), and
D = density of the foil, sheet, or film, g/inch3 (or mg/m3).
Conclusion:
ASTM E252 standard test covers the procedure to estimate the thickness of metallic foils and thin sheets.
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 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions 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.

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.
