ASTM C730 is a microhardness test described to determine the Knoop indentation hardness of glass and the authentication of Knoop indentation hardness testing machines that make use of standard glasses..
Scope:
ASTM C730 has been made to compare Knoop indentation hardness with tensile strength, grinding speeds, and other hardness scales. Knoop hardness is one of many properties that is used for the characterization of glasses. Such kinds of conversions are partial in scope and should be used with caution.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM C730, the Knoop Indentation Hardness of Glass is an imprint of undeformed indentation. An Indentation hardness test is done by using a calibrated machine to force a rhombic based, pointed, pyramidal diamond indenter having specific face angles, under a fixed load, into the surface of the material under test, and then the measurement of long diagonal of the resulting impression after removing the load.
Specimen Size :
The specimen should remain intact with an indenter between the 20s and 30s. The rate of indenter motion with specimen shall be 0.20 ± 0.05 mm/min and the test load 100gf.
Data:
The Knoop hardness HK is calculated by using the following equation
HK=load(kgf)/[impression/area](mm2)
where:
L = length of indentation along its long axis
Cp = correction factor related to the shape of the indenter,
P = load
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.
