ASTM E2861-16 test method covers the design, materials, manufacture, and use of a divergence and alignment indicator (DAI) for determining the alignment of the imaging plane relative to the beam centerline and measuring the affective divergence of a thermal neutron beam used for neutron imaging. The values expressed in SI units should be considered the standard.
Scope:
The standard test method ASTM E2861-16 is used to test thermal neutron imaging. To obtain an image, typically, a high flux reactor source with a well-defined collimation mechanism is used by classical neutron radiography. In neutron computed tomography, knowing the beam’s centerline and degree of beam divergence with some precision is critical, especially if the beam does not closely resemble a parallel beam.
Procedure:
In ASTM E2861-16, for a thermal neutron beam, the alignment of the imaging plane with the beam centerline and the beam divergence is determined. Then, circular symmetry is used to simplify production. The DAI is positioned in the physical center of the beam with the five stand-off posts against the film cassette or radioscopic imaging device. The DAI is perpendicular to the beam radius chosen. Finally, the cadmium wire is used to determine the degree of misalignment.
Specimen size
The DAI is made of aluminum plate and rods, with cadmium wires for contrast.
Data:
α = ) where: α = the divergence angle
Result
The result shows the misalignment in the x and y directions of the calculated divergence angle at each axial and radial location.
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.
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.
