ASTM D2319/D2319M: Standard Test Method for Softening Point of Pitch (Cube-in-Air Method)

Publication Date: Nov 10, 1998
SDO: ASTM: ASTM International
 DOD Adopted   ANSI Approved Approved

This test method covers the determination of the softening point above 80°C [176°F] of pitch. Test Method D 3104 gives comparable results.

The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
