ASTM C429 is used for sieve analysis of raw materials used in the manufacturing of glass, raw materials such as sand, soda ash, limestone, alkali-alumina silicates, and other granular materials. Values are expressed in SI units.

ASTM C429 is used for sieve analysis of raw materials used in the manufacturing of glass, raw materials such as sand, soda ash, limestone, alkali-alumina silicates, and other granular materials. Values are expressed in SI units.
Scope:
ASTM C429 is used for sieve analysis of the glass raw materials. Sieve analysis is used to assess the particle size distribution of a granular material. The granular material is allowed to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve is weighed as a fraction of the whole mass.
The particle-size distribution of any granular material is a list of values that defines the relative amount of particles present according to size. The size distribution affects the way the material performs in use.
Test Procedure:
The sieves are assembled. The coarsest sieve is kept on the top. The sieves kept below the top one get finer and finer. The bottom-most sieve is the finest. A pan is placed below the sieves to catch the finest granular materials.
The test specimen is placed on the top sieve. The nest of sieves is closed with a cover. The sieve assembly is placed on the shaker. The sieves are shaken for a specified time. The shaker is stopped, the sieves are removed, and the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve is weighed as a fraction of the whole mass.
Specimen size:
Bulk quantities of particulate raw materials used in glass manufacturing are used as samples.
Data:
Test samples are recovered at every level of the sieve assembly. The amount of material that is stopped by each sieve is weighed as a fraction of the whole mass. When all fractions are recovered and weighed, the sum of the fractions is taken as the test specimen mass for calculation; the sum of the fractions and the original sample mass should agree to within 1g or a weighing error is indicated.
The percent retained on each sieve is calculated and reported to the nearest 0.1%. When a fraction retained on a sieve is less than 0.1%, it is weighed to the nearest 1 mg, and reported to the nearest 0.01% or 0.001%.
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.
