This test method is used primarily to determine the heat release rate of materials, products, and assemblies. Other parameters are the effective heat of combustion, mass loss rate, the time to ignition, smoke and gas production, emissivity, and surface temperature. Examples of test specimens...

1.1 This guide covers recommended formats for the recording of mechanical test data for metals for inclusion in computerized material property databases. From this information, the database designer should be able to construct the data dictionary preparatory to developing a database schema. Not c...

1.1 This practice provides a detailed and comprehensive structure for building terminological records for reporting test results or materials designations.

1.2 A practice for structuring terminological records will contribute toward the compatibility of computerization standards being dev...

1.1 This practice is applicable to the processing of road surface profiles for the purpose of computing a single numerical index related to the roughness of a profile.

1.2 A data record of the surface profile, measured according to an applicable test method, is assumed. The data record ma...

1.1 This fire-test-response standard assesses the response of materials, products, and assemblies to controlled levels of radiant heat exposure with or without an external ignitor.

1.2 The fire-test-response characteristics determined by this test method include the...
