ASTM E3039 Determination of Crack-Tip-Opening Angle
ASTM E3039 test uses a drop-weight tear test (DWTT)-type specimen to determine the fracture propagation toughness in terms of the steady-state crack-tip-opening angle (CTOA). The values expressed in SI units should be considered standard.

ASTM E3039 Determination of Crack-Tip-Opening Angle
ASTM E3039 test uses a drop-weight tear test (DWTT)-type specimen to determine the fracture propagation toughness in terms of the steady-state crack-tip-opening angle (CTOA). The values expressed in SI units should be considered standard.
Scope:
The standard test method, Determination of Crack-Tip-Opening Angle ASTM E3039, is used to estimate the critical steady-state crack-tip opening angle (CTOA) using measurements of force (P) versus load-line displacement, using the simplified single-specimen method (S-SSM). CTOA’s critical value is used to characterize the stable tearing in thin metallic materials as a fracture resistance criterion. ASTM E3039 is used as a pipe mill test to measure fracture propagation resistance.
Procedure:
According to ASTM E3039, the force versus displacement of a test specimen is recorded when it is completely cracked. Firstly, the specimen is immersed in a suitable solvent, and the temperature is maintained at -73°C to 100°C. Finally, the object is placed in the testing machine so that the notch in the specimen is within 1.59 mm (1/16 in.) of the striker’s centerline.
Specimen size
W = 76 mm and L = 305 mm is the width and length requirements for the specimen.
Data:
The following calculation is done in ASTM E3039 testing:
CTOAb/2= 8rp180 where: rp= the rotation factor, ξ is the absolute value of the slope, and CTOA is in units of degrees.
Conclusion:
The standard test method, Determination of Crack-Tip-Opening Angle ASTM E3039, is used to estimate the critical steady-state crack-tip opening angle (CTOA) using measurements of force (P) versus load-line displacement, using the simplified single-specimen method (S-SSM).
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.
