📋 Scope and Classification of Tall Oil Fatty Acids ASTM D1984-69 defines the specification for distilled fatty acids derived from tall oil, a byproduct of the kraft pulping process. The standard classifies tall oil fatty acids into three distinct types…
ASTM D1985-13 (Reapproved 2024) establishes a uniform procedure for preparing concrete blocks used for testing joint and crack sealants for portland cement concrete and asphaltic concrete pavements. It is intended for use by manufacturers, users, and testing agencies to ensure…
🧪 Significance and Use This test method covers the determination of the solidification (titer) point of fatty acids and is applicable to all fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids solidify at a higher temperature than unsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, the titer…
ASTM Standard D1983-90 (Reapproved 1995) establishes standard conditions for the separation and identification of methyl esters by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). This test method is specifically applicable to animal and vegetable fatty acids and oils having 8 to 24 carbon atoms.…
📐 Scope and Terminology for ASTM D1980 ASTM D1980-87 (Reapproved 1998) defines a standard procedure for measuring the acid value of fatty acids and polymerized fatty acids. This method is primarily applied to drying oils and their saponified derivatives to…
🧪 Scope and Principle of Test This standard, designated ASTM D1981-11 (Reapproved 2020), provides a specific method for measuring the Gardner color of tall oil fatty acids following controlled thermal stress. The test procedure subjects a specimen to a temperature…
📐 Test Method Scope and Principles ASTM D1979-97 describes a standardized procedure for determining the free formaldehyde content in amino resins and their aqueous or non-aqueous solutions. The method is designed to detect free formaldehyde levels ranging from approximately 0.02…
ASTM D198-22, under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D07 on Wood, provides standard test methods for static tests of lumber in structural sizes. Originally approved in 1924, this standard has been continuously updated to include modern wood-based products like structural…
🧪 Hydrofluoric/Sulfuric Acid Decomposition ASTM D1977-22 outlines the standard procedure for decomposing FCC equilibrium catalysts for the subsequent determination of nickel and vanadium. The test specimen, in its “as received” state, is treated with a mixture of hydrofluoric and sulfuric…
🔬 Scope and Significance of Standard D1978‑91 ASTM D1978‑91 (Reapproved 2018) serves as a practical guide for selecting the appropriate ASTM test methods to evaluate and maintain the performance of electrocoating baths. The standard outlines the critical parameters—specifically acid/base milliequivalent…
