ASTM E662-14 fire-test response determines the specific optical density of smoke produced by solid materials and assemblies. The final values are expressed in inch pound units which are considered as standard.

ASTM E662-14 fire-test response determines the specific optical density of smoke produced by solid materials and assemblies. The final values are expressed in inch pound units which are considered as standard.
Scope:
This ASTM E662-14 test method is useful for research and development purposes only, not for regulatory rating reasons. Under the specified exposure conditions, the optical density of smoke that is generated by solid material specimen as well as assemblies can be determined by this test method.
Procedure
In this test procedure, an electrically heated radiant-energy source is installed within an insulated ceramic tube and positioned to produce irradiance. The specimen is mounted within the holder. Flaming and non-flaming combustion is provided to the test specimens. Smoke accumulate is measured by photometric system having vertical light path. The optical density is then calculated by using the light transmittance measurements.
Specimen size
The specimen should be conditioned at an ambient temperature of 73 ± 5 °F (23 ± 3 °C) and a relative humidity of 50 ± 5%
Data
Specific optical density, Ds, at any given time is calculated as follows:
Ds = G [log10 (100/T)+F]
Where:
G = V/AL,
V = volume of the closed chamber, ft3 (or m3),
A = exposed area of the specimen, ft2 (or m2),
L = length of the light path through the smoke, ft. (or m),
T = percent light transmittance as read from the light-sensing instrument,
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.
