ASTM E289 – 04 Test Method for Linear Thermal Expansion of Rigid Solids with Interferometry
ASTM E289 – 04 Test Method provides a measure to determine the linear thermal expansion of rigid solids at test temperature and under the stresses imposed by instrumentation. The Michelson and Fizeau interferometers determine dimensional length change absolutely of the sample.
Scope:
ASTM E289 – 04 test method covers the determination of linear thermal expansion of rigid solids using either a Michelson or Fizeau interferometer. Rigid solids require detailed preconditioning and specific thermal test schedules for correct evaluation of linear thermal expansion behavior for some material applications and applicable to the approximate temperature range −150 to 700°C.
Test Procedure:
In this test method, a specimen is given polished reflective ends or placed between two flat reflecting surfaces (mirrors). The mirrors consist of flat-uniform thickness pieces of silica or sapphire with the surfaces partially coated with gold or other high reflectance metal. Light, either parallel laser beam or from a point monochromatic source, illuminates each surface simultaneously to produce a fringe pattern. As the specimen is heated or cooled, expansion or contraction of the specimen causes a change in the fringe pattern due to the optical path length difference between the reflecting surfaces. This change is detected and converted into length change from which the expansion and expansion coefficient is determined.

Specimen size:
A cylindrical specimen with a radius of curvature of the hemispherical ends is 3mm or less, and the diameter is uniform to 61 m rad
Data:
Calculate the linear thermal expansion for each temperature interval as follows:

Double Pass Michelson:
Where measurements are carried out at helium or other gas pressures above 1.33 kPa, allowance should be made for the effects of pressure and temperature on the index of refractions of the gas.
As an example, for the Fizeau types:

At the 288 k and 100 kPa reference conditions, for air nr = 1.0002771 (yellow line helium) or 1.0002779 (green line of mercury). For helium nr = 1.000036. For helium at a pressure of 1.33 kPa or less, the overall effect is less than ±6 nm and may be neglected.
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.
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.
