Topics include compaction, sampling, field investigation, cyclic and dynamic properties, soil texture, plasticity, density characteristics, hydrological properties, hydraulic barriers, and...

This test method covers a protocol for capturing, extracting and quantifying the cellular adenosine triphosphate (cellular-ATP) content associated with microorganisms found in fuels and fuel-associated water. The ATP is measured using a bioluminescence enzyme assay, whereby light is generated in...

Abstract: Volumes 11.01 and 11.02 provide standard procedures for assessing water. Topics cover: reagent water, wastewater, fluvial sediment, water sampling and analysis, general properties of water, inorganic constituents and methods of radiochemical analysis.

This specification covers butanol intended to be blended with gasoline at 1 % to 12.5 % by volume for use as an automotive spark-ignition engine fuel. Butanol contains 22 % by mass oxygen. The mass percent of oxygen of a butanol blend with gasoline depends on the volume percent of butanol blended,...

This test method covers an engine test procedure for the measurement of the effects of automotive engine oils on the fuel economy of passenger cars and light-duty trucks with gross vehicle weight 3856 kg or less. The tests are conducted using a specified spark-ignition engine with a displacement of...

This test method is commonly referred to as the Sequence VH test, and it has been correlated with the Sequence VG test. The Sequence VG test was previously correlated with vehicles used in stop-and-go service prior to 1996, particularly with regard to sludge and varnish formation.3 It is one of the...

This terminology standard provides a compilation of consensus definitions of terms used in ASTM occupational safety and health standards. This terminology standard does not purport to be an exhaustive lexicon. Rather it defines terms relevant to occupational health and safety. This standard...

This specification covers requirements for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) profile sewer pipe and fittings with integral bell and elastomeric seal joints or plain end pipe with couplings in sizes (4 to 48 in.) based on a controlled inside diameter. The values stated in inch-pound units are to be...
