ASTM Environmental Standards

Abstract: Standards cover: Environmental Assessment-includes the popular ASTM Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) standard (E1527) and Phase II ESA standard (E1903). Other standards address corrective action, environmental risk management, pollution prevention,...

Abstract: Volume 11.06 covers Environmental Assessment, Risk Management and Corrective Action and features standards on aquatic sediment; terrestrial assessments and toxicology; environmental fate of chemical substances; and risk assessment, communication, and management. Attention:...

Purpose This practice2 identifies minimum requirements for environmental regulatory compliance audits (audits). It also provides information on the terms and procedures associated with audits as practiced in the United States of America (USA) and other jurisdictions subject to the laws...

The purpose of this practice is to present concepts necessary to the understanding of the terms "precision" and "bias" as used in quantitative test methods. This practice also describes methods of expressing precision and bias and, in a final section, gives examples of how statements on precision...

This specification covers UNS N08925, UNS N08354, and UNS N089262 seamless, cold-worked or hot-finished pipe and tube intended for general corrosive service. ASTM International has adopted definitions whereby some grades, such as UNS N08904 previously in this specification, were recognized...

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 standard covers requirements for radiographic examination for soundness of welds in fabricated steel by comparison to selected severity levels of Reference Radiographs E390, Vol II. The base material varies from greater than 0.25 to 3 in. (6.4-76 mm) inclusive in thickness. Volume II is...

This test method measures the ability of crankcase oil to control camshaft lobe wear for spark-ignition engines equipped with an overhead valve-train and sliding cam followers. This test method is designed to simulate extended engine idling vehicle operation. The Sequence IVA Test Method uses a...

This test method covers a test procedure for evaluating the rust and corrosion inhibiting properties of a gear lubricant while subjected to water contamination and elevated temperature in a bench-mounted hypoid differential housing assembly.2 This test method is commonly referred to as the L-33-1...

This test method measures the ability of an engine crankcase oil to control valve-train wear in spark-ignition engines at low operating temperature conditions. This test method is designed to simulate extended engine cyclic vehicle operation. The Sequence IVB Test Method uses a Toyota 2NR-FE water...

This test method, commonly referred to as the L-37-1 test, describes a test procedure for evaluating the load-carrying capacity, wear performance, and extreme pressure properties of a gear lubricant in a hypoid axle under conditions of low-speed, high-torque operation.3 The values stated in SI...

This test method covers the determination of the compressive strength of hydraulic cement grout for preplaced-aggregate (PA) concrete. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact...

This is a fire-test-response standard. This fire test method is applicable to electrical insulation materials used for wires or cables. The materials are tested as plastic specimens on their own or installed on the wires or cables. The ignition source is a gas burner fueled by methane or natural...

This is a fire-test-response standard. This fire test response standard contains various tests applicable to electrical insulation materials used for sleeving or for tubing (including heat-shrinkable tubing). Test methods C and D are applicable to heat-shrinkable tubing only. Use the values stated...

This test method covers the determination of the flash point of liquid and solid chemical compounds flashing from below −10 to 370°C (16 to 700°F). The procedures and apparatus in Test Methods D56, D93, D3278, D3828, and D3941 are to be used. Modification to these procedures are specified for tests...
