  • WEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF NON-PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D7043 WEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF NON-PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D7043EXPLANATIONThis test method is an indicator of the wear characteristics of petroleum and non-petroleum hydraulic fluids operating in a constant volume vane pump. Excessive wear in vane pumps could lead to malfunction of hydraulic ...
  • WEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PETROLEUM HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D6973 WEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PETROLEUM HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D6973EXPLANATIONThis test method is an indicator of the wear characteristics of petroleum hydraulic fluids operating in a constant volume vane pump. Excessive wear in vane pumps could lead to malfunction of hydraulic systems in critical industrial or ...
  • WAX CONTENT OF CORRUGATED PAPERBOARD: D3344 WAX CONTENT OF CORRUGATED PAPERBOARD: D3344EXPLANATIONMany of the functional properties of wax-treated corrugated paperboard and cartons are dependent on the amount of wax present. In the case of the wax-saturated or wax-impregnated paperboard, the principle concern is with the weight of wax used relative ...
  • WAX APPLIED DURING CURTAIN COATING OPERATION: D3708 WAX APPLIED DURING CURTAIN COATING OPERATION: D3708EXPLANATIONWax coatings are applied to corrugated board to provide a barrier against moisture or other penetrates or to provide improved appearance or abrasion resistance. These functional properties are influenced by the amount of wax present on the ...
  • WAX APPEARANCE POINT OF DISTILLATE FUELS: D3117 WAX APPEARANCE POINT OF DISTILLATE FUELS: D3117EXPLANATIONWax appearance point is the temperature at which wax crystals begin to precipitate out of a fuel under specified cooling conditions. The presence of wax crystals in the fuel may restrict flow or plug the fuel filter. In critical fuel systems, ...
  • WATER WASHOUT CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING GREASES: D1264 WATER WASHOUT CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING GREASES: D1264(Equivalent Test Methods: IP 215, ISO 11009, and DIN 51807 T2)EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the evaluation of the resistance of a lubricating grease to washout by water from a bearing, when tested at 38 and 79° C (100 and 175° F) under ...
  • WATER UNDISSOLVED IN AVIATION TURBINE FUELS: D3240 WATER UNDISSOLVED IN AVIATION TURBINE FUELS: D3240EXPLANATIONUndissolved (free) water in aviation fuel can encourage the growth of microorganisms and subsequent corrosion in the tanks of aircraft and can also lead to icing of filters in the fuel system. The usual range of the test reading covers from ...
  • WATER TOLERANCE OF GASOLINE-ALCOHOL BLENDS: D6422 WATER TOLERANCE OF GASOLINE-ALCOHOL BLENDS: D6422EXPLANATIONGasoline-alcohol blends have a very limited ability to retain water in solution or in a stable suspension, and if the amount of water in the blend exceeds this limit, the fuel will separate into a lower aqueous and an upper hydrocarbon phase. ...
  • WATER IN SOLVENTS BY KARL FISCHER TITRATION: D1364 WATER IN SOLVENTS BY KARL FISCHER TITRATION: D1364EXPLANATIONThis test method covers the determination of water in any proportion in volatile solvents and chemical intermediates used in paint, varnish, lacquer, and related products. This test method is not applicable in the presence of mercaptans, peroxides, ...
  • WATER SOLUBILITY IN HYDROCARBONS AND ALIPHATIC ESTER LUBRICANTS: D4056 WATER SOLUBILITY IN HYDROCARBONS AND ALIPHATIC ESTER LUBRICANTS: D4056EXPLANATIONThis test method covers a procedure for estimating the equilibrium solubility of water and its vapor in hydrocarbon and aliphatic ester lubricants, at temperatures between 277 and 373 K. This test method is limited to liquids ...
