Title
Standard Test Methods for Volatile Loss from Plastics Using Activated Carbon Methods
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 15, 1994
Scope:
These test methods cover the determination of volatile loss from a
plastic material under defined
conditions of time and temperature, using activated carbon as the
immersion medium.
Two test methods are covered as follows:
Test Method A, Direct Contact with Activated Carbon - In this test
method the plastic material is
in direct contact with the carbon. This test method is particularly
useful in the rapid comparison
of a large number of plastic specimens.
Test Method B, Wire Cage - This test method prescribes the use of a
wire cage, which prevents
direct contact between the plastic material and the carbon. By
eliminating the direct contact, the
migration of the volatile components to the surrounding carbon is
minimized and loss by
volatilization is more specifically measured.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as 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.
NOTE 1 - This standard is similar in content (not technically
equivalent) to ISO 176-1976(E).
