Standard Test Method for Water Absorption of Plastics
Standard Test Method for Water Absorption of Plastics
- Book of Standards Volume: 08.01. ASTM D570 - 98(2010)e1, p.1-4, 2017 .
This test method for rate of water absorption has two chief functions: first, as a guide to the proportion of water absorbed by a material and consequently, in those cases where the relationships between moisture and electrical or mechanical properties, dimensions, or appearance have been determined, as a guide to the effects of exposure to water or humid conditions on such properties; and second, as a control test on the uniformity of a product. This second function is particularly applicable to sheet, rod, and tube arms when the test is made on the finished product.
