This practice covers a list of standard temperatures from which selection may be made for any specific test or test method. Tolerances of the test temperature shall be in accordance with the specific requirement. This tolerance is the maximum allowable variation in the temperature of the space enclosing the specimens being tested. The average temperature of the space shall be as close as practicable to the specified temperature.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope

1.1 This practice covers a list of standard temperatures from which selection may be made for any specific test or test method. Any standard, method, practice, procedure, or specification that specifies test temperatures shall take precedence over this practice.

1.2 These temperatures do not apply to preparation, mixing, processing, or vulcanizing temperatures for rubber compounds.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4 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.
