This comprehensive review of calibration provides an excellent foundation for understanding principles and applications of the most frequently performed tasks of a technician. Topics addressed include terminology, bench vs. field calibration, loop vs. individual instrument...
This procedure establishes a recommended practice for establishing the sensitivity of the chest displacement potentiometer assembly used in the Hybrid III family of Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs, or crash dummies). This potentiometer assembly is used in the Hybrid III family to measure the...
1.1 This test method defines the requirements for portable instruments that are intended to be used to measure the Rockwell or Brinell hardness of metallic materials by performing indentation tests on the surface of materials in the field or outside of a test lab, or in cases where the size...
5.1 Spectral analysis of soils for agricultural use is being used worldwide to obtain rapid data on soil nutrients. for the purpose of agricultural management including fertilizer application and other amendments such as pH adjustment, organic supplements, etc. Satellite, aerial, and ground-based...
4.1 Marshall stability and flow values along with density, air voids in the total mix, voids in the mineral aggregate, or voids filled with asphalt binder, or both, filled with asphalt binder are used for laboratory mix design and evaluation of asphalt mixtures. In addition, Marshall stability and...
5.1 The ideal rutting test (IRT) is used to determine asphalt mixture rutting resistance at high temperature in the range of 50 ± 15?°C, depending on local climate. The specimens are readily obtained from Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) compacted cylinders with a diameter of 150 ± 2 mm, with no...
5.1 This practice can be used to establish the validity of the results obtained by an infrared (IR) spectrophotometer or Raman spectrometer at the time the calibration is developed. The ongoing validation of PPTMRs produced by analysis of unknown samples using the multivariate model is...
5.1 This test method may be used to generate information concerning the potential characteristics of handling, placing, compaction, and performance of an asphalt cold mix. 5.2 Workability is one of the main factors that influences the suitability and ultimately the performance of asphalt cold mix...
1.1 This guide covers a general methodology to develop and assess the linear relationship between results produced by a total analyzer system versus the results produced by the corresponding primary test method (PTM) that the analyzer system is intended to emulate, using the principles and...

5.1 In processes producing propylene, COS usually remains with the C3 hydrocarbons and must be removed, since it affects product quality. COS acts as a poison to commercial polymerization catalysts, resulting in deactivation and costly process downtime. 5.2 Accurate gas chromatographic...
5.1 The typical use of this test method is determination of 10B areal density in aluminum neutron absorber materials used to control criticality in systems such as: spent nuclear fuel dry storage canisters, transfer/transport nuclear fuel containers, spent nuclear fuel pools, and fresh nuclear fuel...
1.1 This guide covers procedures for using the ASTM Standard Reference Blacks2 (SRBs) and the HT and INR Iodine Number Standards to continuously monitor the precision of those carbon black test methods for which reference values have been established. It also offers guidelines for troubleshooting...
5.1 This practice can be used to establish the validity of the results obtained by an infrared (IR) spectrophotometer or Raman spectrometer at the time the calibration is developed. The ongoing validation of PPTMRs produced by analysis of unknown samples using the multivariate model is...
The surge of interest in cannabis-based medicinal products has put an extremely high demand on testing capabilities, particularly for contaminants such as heavy metals, which are naturally taken up through the roots of the plants from the soil, growing medium, and fertilizers but can also be...
