1. Rationale
Rationale: The oxygen bomb calorimeter method currently referred to in ASTM E 1591 is ASTM D 3286. This method was withdrawn and replaced by ASTM D 5865. The purpose of this ballot item is to replace all references to ASTM D 3286 in ASTM E 1591 with references to ASTM D 5865. This item is balloted concurrently to accelerate the revision process.
Rationale: The FM Fire Propagation Apparatus is currently referred to in ASTM E 1591 as the ôFactory Mutual Small Scale Flammability Apparatusö. This apparatus is now described in ASTM E 2058.
The purpose of this ballot item is to refer to ASTM E 2058 in ASTM E 1591 instead of to the ôFactory Mutual Small Scale Flammability Apparatusö. This item is balloted concurrently to accelerate the revision process.
Rationale: The room/corner test is currently referred to in ASTM E 1591 as the ôASTM Proposed Room/Corner Testö. This test method now forms the subject of ASTM E 2257.
The purpose of this ballot item is to refer to ASTM E 2257 in ASTM E 1591 instead of to the ôASTM Proposed Room/Corner Testö. Reference 28 is the draft standard and can be deleted. This item is balloted concurrently to accelerate the revision process.
