4.1 This test method is intended to provide only comparative measurements of surface flame spread and smoke density measurements with that of select grade red oak and fiber-cement board surfaces under the specific fire exposure conditions described herein. 4.2 This test method...
1.1 This standard describes guidelines for microscopical examinations employed in forensic fiber characterization, identification, and comparison. A microscopical fiber examination can include a variety of light microscopes, such as stereomicroscope, polarized light, comparison,...
1.1 This test method covers the measurement of the absolute total solar or photopic reflectance, transmittance, or absorptance of materials and surfaces. Although there are several applicable test methods employed for determining the optical properties of materials, they are...
INTENT This test is intended to determine the ability of an optical fiber to withstand repeated flexing at a specified (usually low) temperature. The flexing is achieved by repeatedly bending the fiber around a mandrel.
5.1 This test method provides a description of the design of the Stirred Reactor Coupon Analysis (SRCA) apparatus and identifies aspects of the performance of the SRCA tests and interpretation of the test results that must be addressed by the experimenter to provide confidence...
This specification covers the requirements for pressure and differential pressure transducers for general applications. Pressure transducers typically consist of a sensing element that is in contact with the process medium and a transduction element that modifies the signal from the sensing element...
1.1 These test methods cover the tensile testing of para-aramid flat yarns. The methods include testing procedure only and include no specifications or tolerances. 1.2 This standard includes the following test methods: Section Linear Density 10 Force at Specified...
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the temperature below which solid hydrocarbon crystals may form in aviation turbine fuels. Note 1: This test method describes an alternative procedure and automatic apparatus which closely mimics the apparatus and procedure described in...
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR5271) covers the basic attributes of a second-generation robust, reliable high-density fiber optic interconnect system for aerospace applications. The intent is to take advantage of recent commercial developments in materials, components and...
This document provides details of test methods that should be taken into consideration when qualifying fiber optic termini to the product specifications (slash sheets). The product specifications (slash sheets) provide pass/fail criteria, optical and physical intermatability,...
4.1 Ionizing environments will affect the performance of optical fibers/cables being used to transmit spectroscopic information from a remote location. Determination of the type and magnitude of the spectral attenuation or interferences, or both, produced by the ionizing radiation in...
