Method to Calculate Density of Glass by Buoyancy ASTM C693
The standard method ASTM C693 measures the density of glass. Measuring the thickness of the glass is very important as any change in the density can lead to undesired results. Density measurement also validates the purity of the raw material. Density is obtained in kg/m³ or g/cm³.
Scope:
Finding the density of glass by ASTM C693 is essential as it provides information about the mass and volume and shows how much pressure will be applied to the glass to displace it. Density data provide information about the purity of raw materials of glass and is different for various composites. It has several applications in development, construction, research, and production.
Test Procedure:
The mass of the given glass sample is measured on an electric balance, and the reading is recorded. The same sample is weighed two more times to reduce the experimental error as the average of the three values is taken as the mass value. To measure the volume of the given glass sample, it is carefully immersed in a solution/water, and the increase in the volume of the solution is noted. The initial volume is subtracted from the final volume, and the reading is used as the value of the glass volume.
Specimen Size :
The sample size can vary from mg to kg.
Data:
The formula to measure the density of glass; Density = mass/volume ρ=m/V… (1)
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.
