1.1 This test method covers the determination of the resis-tance of leather to cracking when the leather is bent or folded with the grain (or finish) surface on the outside of the bend.Heavy leathers (for example, harness, belt, strap, bag, case, and so forth) are usually bent around a mandrel using either mechanical resistance (for […]

1.1 These test methods are suitable for testing the integrity of unitized loads and large cases and crates, but not individual drums or palletized drums, as well as the ability ofthe contents to endure normal handling, using standard mechanical han-dling equipment. Not all of the test methods are applicable to all products containers and loads.

1.1 This test method covers procedures for evaluating the relative mar resistance of high gloss coatings. Two test methods are included. Test Method A uses a device that rotates the test specimen on a vertical axis, against the sliding rotation of two abrading wheels. Test Method B uses a device that reciprocates a specimen in

1.1 This guide covers an integrated, stepwise method for the qualitative conceptualization and quantitative characterization of groundwater flow systems, including the unsaturated zone, for natural or human-induced behavior or changes. 1.2 This guide may be used at any scale of investigation,including site-specific, subregional, and regional applications.

1.1 These practices describe laboratory procedures for pre-paring an oil-based ink resin solution in a high-boiling solvent using four pieces of lab equipment: (1) A hot oil bath (Sections 4 to 11), (2) A stirrer/hot plate (Sections 12 to 16), (3) An industrial blender (Sections 17 to 22), and (4) A hot air gun (Sections

1.1 This specification describes material and physical re-quirements for nonrigid poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) preformed molded and spliced gaskets used in mechanical couplings. These couplings are used in gravity flow drain, waste, and vent (DWV), sewer, sanitary, and storm plumbing systems. They include couplings to join similar and dissimilar piping sizes and piping material.

1.1 This test method covers the measurement of color, trash content, micronaire, upper half mean length (length), unifor-mity index and breaking tenacity (strength) of raw cotton for cotton marketing using a cotton classification instrument. 1.2 This test method is applicable to Upland and Extra Long Staple (ELS) raw cotton.

1.1 This guide covers a designer/specifier through a system-atic determination of those factors of the appropriate applica-tion environment that may affect the post-construction service life of a geosynthetic. Subsequently, test methods are recom-mended to facilitate an experimental evaluation of the durabil-ity of geosynthetics in a specified environment so that the durability can be considered in

1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the amount of carbon black in a masterbatch and cover emulsion SBR-carbon black mixtures, but may be applicable to other polymers. Three test methods are included: N OTE 1—The nomenclature used in these test methods is in accordance with Practice D1418. 1.2 The values stated in SI
