ASTM E337-02 Test Method for Measuring Humidity with a Psychrometer (the Measurement of Wet- and Dry-Bulb Temperature)
The object of this test method ASTM E 337-02 is to provide guidelines for the construction of a psychrometer and the techniques required for accurately measuring the humidity in the atmosphere. Only the essential features of the psychrometer are specified.
Scope:
In this method humidity of atmospheric air is determined by means of wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature readings. This test method is applicable for meteorological measurements at the earth’s surface, for the purpose of the testing of materials, and for the determination of the relative humidity of most standard atmospheres and test atmospheres. This test method is also applicable when the temperature of the wet-bulb only is required. The test is carried out using two types method
Method A—Psychrometer Ventilated by Aspiration
Method B—Psychrometer Ventilated by Whirling (Sling Psychrometer):
Test procedure:
The wet-bulb temperature depression, the dry-bulb temperature, and the ambient pressure provide the basis for deriving the relative humidity.
Method A—Aspirated Psychrometer:
Establish the airflow and maintain it until a minimum wet-bulb temperature is attained. (With mercury-in-glass thermometers, about 2-min ventilation time is usually necessary.) Read the thermometers with the necessary precision, obtaining the dry-bulb temperature with an overall uncertainty of 60.2ºC or better, and the temperature depression with an overall uncertainty of 60.2ºC or better for uncertainty in the relative humidity of 63 % RH. For an uncertainty in the relative humidity of 62 % RH, obtain the dry-bulb temperature with an overall uncertainty of 60.2°C or better and the temperature depression with an overall uncertainty of 60.1°C or better.
Method B—Sling Psychrometer
Holding the instrument well away from the body, and for outdoor measurements to windward and in the shade, whirl it at such a rate as to achieve the specified airspeed at the wet and dry bulbs. Read the thermometers with the necessary precision, obtaining the dry-bulb temperature with an overall uncertainty of 60.6°C or better, and the temperature depression with an overall uncertainty of 60.3°C or better for uncertainty in the relative humidity of 65 % RH.
Test Specimen:
Thermometers are used for measuring the Wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures.
Data:
Relative humidity from the psychrometric equation,
Where,
e = the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere, Pa,
ew (Tw) = the saturation pressure of water vapor at the wet-bulb temperature tw, Pa,
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.
