This study was in real time measured that the reflective echo height of the bonding interface in the solid phase diffused bonding process of carbon steel and titanium using ultrasonic testing method. As a result, the following were made discernment. 

Analytical and Test Methods. For a review of detection, deterrnination, and identification of ketenes see Reference 67. Typical properties are the strong ir absorption bands at 2151 cm (C—O) and at 1120 cm as weU as a very low field signal of the j hybridi2ed carbon at approximately 194 to 206 ppm and a very high field signal of the s hybridi2ed carbon at approximately 2.5 to 27 ppm in C-nmr spectroscopy. 

Alkylamines and diamines are generally classified as corrosive to the skin based on results from laboratory animal (rabbit) studies performed in accordance with the Department of Transportation (DOT) test method (84) rabbits are considered to be especially sensitive to alkylamines which even at low concentrations can induce skin redness and swelling. Oleylamine has been shown to induce mild to moderate skin irritation in laboratory rats when appHed at a concentration of 0.3% in mineral oil (Chemical Manufacturer s Association, 1985). Fatty amines which contain alkyl chains of 10—14 carbons are considered more irritating than related products which contain alkyl chains of 14—18 carbon atoms. Ethoxylation generally decreases the irritation potential of alkylamines. 

The most comprehensive set of test methods for calcium carbonate has been assembled by the Pulverized Limestone Division of the National Stone Association. Methods for particle size, brightness, +325 mesh (44 -lm), and percentage of calcium carbonate have been pubflshed standards are available and have been well characterized (5). The Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPl) has pubflshed methods for calcium carbonate used in the paper industry (6). 

Food and pharmaceutical grades of calcium carbonate are covered by the Food Chemicals Codex (7) and the United States Pharmacopeia (8) and subject to U.S. Food and Dmg Administration Good Manufacturing Practices (9). Both purity requirements and test methods are available (7,8). Calcium carbonate is listed in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulation as a food additive, and is authorized for use in both paper and plastic food contact appHcations. 

There are many other test methods used to characterize carbon blacks for quaHty control and specification purposes. Table 5 Hsts some of these methods which, with a few exceptions, have been adopted by ASTM.

While the carbon dioxide/caiistic test method has become accepted, one should use the results with caution. The chemical reaction masks the effect of physical absorption, and the relative values in the table may not hold for other cases, especially distillation applications where much of the resistance to mass transfer is in the gas phase. Background on this combination of physical and chemical absorption may Be found earher in the present section, under Absorption with Chemical Reaction. ... 

The information obtained during the background search and from the source inspection will enable selection of the test procedure to be used. The choice will be based on the answers to several questions (1) What are the legal requirements For specific sources there may be only one acceptable method. (2) What range of accuracy is desirable Should the sample be collected by a procedure that is 5% accurate, or should a statistical technique be used on data from eight tests at 10% accuracy Costs of different test methods will certainly be a consideration here. (3) Which sampling and analytical methods are available that will give the required accuracy for the estimated concentration An Orsat gas analyzer with a sensitivity limit of 0.02% would not be chosen to sample carbon monoxide...

Boiling point distillation data also provides information about the quality and composition of a feed. The significance is discussed later in this chapter. Distillation indicates molecular weight and carbon number. It indicates whether the feed contains any clean products that could be sold as is. Before discussing the data, the different testing methods and their limitations should be reviewed. 

Portland cement is susceptible to corrosion by CO2 and H2S. The chemical attack by CO2 is called carbonation. A microsample technique has been developed to study the CO2 corrosion in cements, because the corrosion is difficult to monitor with common test procedures [264]. This technique is also advantageous as an accelerated testing method. A polymer-modified cement has been tested in field studies [694]. The addition of silica also improves chemical resistance [146], in particular brine corrosion. 

Table 2.4) or proprietary test methods. Forrest [38] has listed 94 international rubber analysis standards (ISO) and 20 ISO standards in preparation referring to latices, carbon-black-filled compositions, raw and compounded rubbers. 

As microwave sample preparation has evolved, standard microwave procedures have been developed and approved by numerous standard methods organisations (ASTM, AOAC International, EPA, etc.), see ref. [64]. Examples are standard test methods for carbon black/ash content (ASTM Method D 1506-97), lead analysis in direct paint samples (ASTM Method E 1645-94), etc. Table 8.15 shows some microwave ashing references (detection weight). A French AFNOR method utilises the atmospheric pressure single-mode microwave method as an alternative sample preparation procedure for Kjeldahl nitrogen determination [84], The performance of a microwave-assisted decomposition for rapid determination of glass fibre content in plastics for QC has been described [85]. 

Comparison of the relative sediment toxicity of different SPs can be difficult as there are a variety of different test methods and endpoints evaluated, in addition to other confounding factors relating to sediment quality. Amweg et al. [28] determined the toxicity of six SPs to //. azteca in 10-day studies at 23 °C in natural sediments containing 1-6% OC. Toxicity data were reported as bulk sediment concentrations and normalized to the organic carbon content (Table 5). The results indicated that normalization removed some, but not all, of the variability between sediments. Other factors such as sediment texture may also affect bioavailability and hence apparent toxicity in sediment studies. 

Most of the test methods used to assess the anaerobic biodegradability of organic chemicals have been screening level tests based upon measuring the increase in gas volume or pressure resulting from the conversion of a test material to carbon dioxide (C02) and methane (CH4), such as the ECETOC-28 test [3,4],...
