1.1 These test methods2 cover procedures and definitions for the mechanical testing of steels, stainless steels, and related alloys. The various mechanical tests herein described are used to determine properties required in the product specifications. Variations...

00746s-000000-000000 1 Scope 1.1 This standard establishes program requirements for the evaluation of sustainable polymeric materials for use in electrical equipment. The test program is intended to ensure acceptable material performance with respect to flammability, electrical,...

020430-000000-000000 1 Scope 1.1 This is a fire test method for determining the fire performance response of discrete products (including, but not limited to electrical, mechanical, and plumbing equipment) intended to be installed in air handling spaces, such as above suspended...

A1.1 Significance and Use A1.1.1 This test method is used to measure the torsional yield strength, maximum torque, and breaking angle of the bone screw under standard conditions. The results obtained in this test method are not intended to predict the torque encountered while...

029300-000000-000000 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover indoor-use cord-and-plug-connected Health Care Facility receptacle outlet assemblies (HCOA) rated 250 V AC or less and 20 Amperes or less. HCOA are for use as a movable power supply connection for cord-and-plug-connected medical...

5.1 The tendency of oils to foam can be a serious problem in systems such as high-speed gearing, high-volume pumping, and splash lubrication. Inadequate lubrication, cavitation, and overflow loss of lubricant can lead to mechanical failure. This test method is used in the evaluation...

1.1 This practice covers specific procedures and test conditions that are applicable for xenon-arc exposure of plastics conducted in accordance with Practices G151 and G155. This practice also covers the preparation of test specimens, the test conditions best suited for...

095400-000000-000000 1 Scope 1.1 These requirements cover an energy storage system (ESS) that is intended to receive and store energy in some form so that the ESS can provide electrical energy to loads or to the local/area electric power system (EPS) when needed. Electrochemical, chemical,...

5.1 This guide describes the use of test methods in Guide F3276 to assess the compatibility of a brush part with the material substrates used in the construction of medical devices. 5.2 By providing objective, repeatable methods for evaluating performance under test conditions,...

1.1 This specification2 covers the requirements for seamless copper and copper alloy tubing on which the external or internal surface, or both, has been modified by a cold-forming process to produce an integral enhanced surface for improved heat transfer. 1.2 The tubes are typically used in surface...
