ASTM Standards

1.1 This practice is a supplement to Form and Style for ASTM Standards 2 , which shall be consulted in writing all ASTM standards. 1.2 This practice contains, directly or by reference, all ofthe information required to comply with the policy on fire stan-dards and the additional guidelines recommended by Commit-tee E05.

1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for the standard smooth tire for pavement testing. The tire covered by this specification is intended for evaluation oftire-pavement friction. 1.2 The terminology in this specification is consistent with Terminology E867.

1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for the standard rib tire for pavement skid-resistance testing. The tire covered by this specification is for use in evaluation of tire-pavement friction. 1.2 The terminology in this specification is consistent with Terminology E867.

1.1 This practice covers the procedure for the performanceof axial force controlled fatigue tests to obtain the fatiguestrength of metallic materials in the fatigue regime where thestrains are predominately elastic, both upon initial loading andthroughout the test. This practice is limited to the fatiguetesting of axial unnotched and notched specimens subjected toa constant amplitude, periodic

1.1 This test method describes the measurement of heat transfer rate using a thermal capacitance-type calorimeter which assumes one-dimensional heat conduction into a cylin-drical piece of material (slug) with known physical properties.

1.1 This test method covers the simultaneous determination of 20 alloying and residual elements in carbon and low-alloy steels by spark atomic emission vacuum spectrometry in the mass fraction ranges shown (Note 1).

1.1 This practice covers methods for instrumenting low-conductivity specimens for testing in an environment subject to rapid thermal changes such as produced by rocket motors,atmospheric re-entry, electric-arc plasma heaters, and so forth.Specifically, practices for bare-wire thermocouple instrumen-tation applicable to sheath-type thermocouples are discussed.

1.1 This specification defines the minimum requirements for agencies engaged in any of the following: (a) Inspection of specified methods and materials used in construction, (b) Special Inspection, and (C) Testing of materials used in construction.

1.1 This document describes the appearance of a radio-graphic image where fundamental components of image qual-ity are changed, that is, variables such as whether an X-ray orgamma ray source was used, the characteristics of the radio-graphic film (gradient, granularity, and developing conditions)and intensifying screens, and specimen thickness (the geo-metrical configuration ofthe radiographic set-up and focal

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the nil-ductility transition (NDT) temperature of frritie steels, 5/5 in.(15.9 mm) and thicker. 1.2 This test method may be used whenever the inquiry,contract, order, or speeifceation states that the steels are subject to fracture toughness requirements as determined by the drop-weight test.
