1.1 This method covers the procedures to determine the Mohs scratch hardness of ceramic tile. 1.2 Units—The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.1 This practice provides instruction for the preparation of test specimens of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) sealed joints of the type employed in insulation vapor retarder systems, for subsequent testing per Test Methods E96/E96M to determine the water vapor permeance (“permeance”) of those joints. It does not cover preparation of other types of joints.

1.1 These test methods cover methods for determining the strength and load-deflection characteristics of masonry wall elements. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.1 This specification covers flexible leak resistant joints for concrete gravity flow sewer pipe using rubber gaskets for sealing the joints, where measurable or defined infiltration or exfiltration is a factor of the design. The specification covers the design of joints and the requirements for rubber gaskets to be used therewith, for pipe conforming in

1.1 This test method covers a procedure to determine the mechanical uplift resistance of concrete and clay roof tiles,which relates to the wind resistance of an air-permeable roof tile system as applied to a roof. 1.2 The procedure covers mechanically-fastened attachment systems, adhesive-set attachment systems, and mortar-set at-tachment systems, or combinations of attachment systems, that

1.1 This practice descrbes destructive and non-destructive procedures. 1.2 The destructive procedure stresses the sealant in such a way as to cause either cohesive or adhesive failure of the sealant or cohesive failure of the substrate where deficient substrate conditions exist. The objective is to characterize the adhesive/cohesive performance of the sealant on the specifie

1.1 Polarimeters and polariscopes used for measuring stress in glass are described in Test Methods F218, C148, and C978.These instruments include a light source and several optical elements (polarizers, optical retarders, filters, and so forth) that require occasional cleaning, realigning, and calibration. The objective of these practices is to describe the calibration and verification procedures

1.1 This test method covers the X-ray emission spectromet-ric analysis of limestone, quicklime, hydrated lime, and hy-draulic lime using wavelength dispersive instruments. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
