Fats and oils are treated as commodities in the open market and are purchased in bulk. As commodities, their prices fluctuate with supply and demand. Furthermore, fats and oils come in different grades that reflect different levels of processing and have industry-standardized specifications such as the American Fats and Oil Association. In the manufacture of soap in the United States, the source of animal fats is domestic whereas the vegetable oils are frequently obtained from Southeast Asia, primarily Malaysia and the Philippines.

Sieves are often referred to by their mesh size, which is the number of wires per hnear unit. The U.S. Standard Sieve Series as described by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) document E-11-87 Standard Specification for Wire-cloth Sieves for Testing Purposes addresses sieve opening sizes from 20 [Lm (635 mesh) to 125 mm (5.00 in). Electroformed sieves with square or round apertures and tolerances of 2 [Lm, are also available. 

Specifications The American Society for Testing and Materials has developed specifications Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Con-shohocken, Pa., updated annually) that are widely used to classify fuels. Table 27-5 shows fuels covered by ASTM D 396, Standard Specification for Fuel Oils. D 396 omits kerosenes (low-sulfur, cleanburning No. 1 fuels for lamps and freestanding flueless domestic heaters), which are covered separately by ASTM D 3699.

The present chapter, therefore, will present certain topics based on a selection of references, mainly in view of providing a perception of the current developments and great potential of chitin today. The reader is referred to books and reviews [1-17] where basic information and specific subjects are treated in a more systematic way. These polysaccharides are described not only in encyclopaedias, handbooks, monographs and articles, but also in the American Standard Testing Materials standard guides and in the Pharmacopoeias of various coimtries [10,16,17].

The American standard ASTM D-2307 [12] provides a test method for measuring Relative thermal endurance properties of film insulated magnet wire . The ageing philosophy is similar to that required by IEC 60216 [9] and is based on the Arrhenius ageing model. Oven ageing is carried out at three specific temperatures. The samples are twisted wire...
