An optical element is disclosed comprising at least one transparent eye-protecting portion comprising a plastic material, preferably having a hardness within a range of about 40 Shore A to about 77 Shore D, as measured according to ASTM Standard D2240, and an elongation at break within a range of about 200% to about 700%, as measured according to ASTM Standard D638.

A changing table is mounted on the frame of a play yard to be vertically adjustable in operative height and pivotally movable between operative and inoperative positions. The frame of the changing table is provided with a downwardly extending guard member that extends across the opening between the frame of the changing table and the frame of the play yard to prevent a child's head from being trapped in the opening. The use of the guard member enables the changing table to be moved through a greater vertical range of operative positions without violating ASTM standards regarding the passage of probes through frame openings. The height adjustment mechanism is mounted within the vertical frame member of the play yard and the vertical mounting member of the changing table to allow the changing table to be raised and lowered with respect to the upper frame members of the play yard.

A mineral composition comprised of at least about 90 weight percent of roofing granules, at least about 50 weight percent of calcium carbonate with a hardgrove grindability index of less than about 70, from about 0.1 to about 1.0 weight percent of a pigmented material, from about 0.1 to about 1.0 weight percent of a composition for inhibiting the growth of an organism selected from the group consisting of algae, bacteria, and mixtures thereof, and less than about 100 parts per million of a metal selected from the group consisting from the group consisting of arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, selenium, and silver, and less than about 100 parts per million of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. The mineral composition, when tested in accordance with by ASTM Standard Test D 4977-03, loses less than 5 grams of material.

This disclosure is directed to a plastic composition for use on an automotive vehicle including an infrared reflective pigment, and a thermoplastic component. The plastic composition with the infrared reflective component therein increases reflectance by at least about 300% in the spectrum between about 750 nm and about 2500 nm wavelength over a color matched plastic composition containing no infrared reflective pigment, and provides a delta T of at least about 15 C. over a color matched plastic composition containing no infrared reflective pigment under the procedures set forth in the ASTM Standard D 4803-97 test method. The plastic composition also provides a method of reducing the heat build-up of a plastic automotive vehicle part when the plastic automotive vehicle part is exposed to an infrared radiation source.

The invention relates to an artificial heart valve pyrolytic carbon and a testing method for the fracture toughness of a pyrolytic carbon composite material. A testing method for the fracture toughness of the pyrolytic carbon composite material has not been brought forward yet. The testing method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: preparing a plurality of compact tension C(T) specimens from heart valve pyrolytic carbon or a composite material thereof and prefabricating sharp cracks on each specimen, wherein the specimen is of a specification as recommended by American ASTM standard E399, a gap is processed at the central part of the specimen, and upper and lower ends of the gap are respectively provided with a loading hole; then respectively clamping the two loading holes of the gap by using clamps and erecting an extensometer on an open end of the gap; and starting a loading platform to apply an upward load increasing at a uniform speed until the specimens fracture, determining critical load and effective crack length of each specimen, calculating fracture toughness according to the critical load and the effective crack length and taking a mean value as a fracture toughness test value of the heart valve pyrolytic carbon or the composite material thereof. The method provided by the invention can accurately determine fracture toughness of pure pyrolytic carbon and a pyrolytic carbon composite material.

The subject of the present disclosure is an aviation gasoline composition that is lead-free and free of oxygenated compounds meeting the specifications of the ASTM standard comprising isopentane, isooctane, and (alkyl)aromatics. The aviation gasoline composition according to the disclosure may be obtained simply and economically from a mixture of hydrocarbon bases usually available in a refinery.

A device for testing the adhesion of a coating to a substrate and a method of using the device are disclosed. The device is adapted to substantially replicate and consistently conduct the adhesion test procedure described in ASTM standards D3359 and F1842. The device includes a support with a source of a pressure sensitive adhesive tape rotatably mounted to the support. A tape dispenser and means to cause the tape to contact a test surface are mounted to the support. Means to remove the tape from the test surface is provided that includes a take-up spool adapted to receive the tape removed from the test surface.

A method for controlling a particle diameter and a particle diameter distribution of emulsion particles during manufacturing of an emulsion dispersion is provided. The method includes causing two or more types of liquids substantially immiscible with each other to continuously and sequentially pass through net bodies. The net bodies are disposed in a cylindrical flow passage at intervals of 5 to 200 mm, and the number of the net bodies is more than 50 and 200 or less. Each of the net bodies is equivalent to a gauze having a mesh number of 35 mesh to 4000 mesh in accordance with an ASTM standard and has a surface that intersects the direction of the flow passage. An emulsification apparatus used for the method includes a feed pump for feeding two or more types of liquids substantially immiscible with each other; and a cylindrical flow passage to which the two or more types of liquids fed by the feed pump are delivered. A predetermined number of net bodies are disposed in the cylindrical flow passage at predetermined intervals, and each net body has a surface intersecting the direction of the flow passage.

A tri valve backflow preventer having parts and materials preferably consisting of steel nuts and bolts, ductile iron operating nuts, nitrile rubber O-rings, nitrile rubber gaskets, manganese bronze valve adjusting stems, valve wedge gates made of ductile iron encapsulated with EPDM rubber, and ductile iron valve bodies. Material and parts are constructed in accordance with ASTM standards and the requirements of the AWWAC-509 and AWWAC-504 for gate valves and butterfly valves. The tri valve backflow preventer is used with a temporary conventional backflow assembly between existing water main pipe and new / upgraded sections of water main pipe while they are under construction. It is left in place when the temporary backflow assembly is removed. Its use saves extra inspection hours, extra man hours, extra equipment hours, conserves large amounts of good water otherwise needed for flushing, and reduces the safety risk to the public during activation of new water lines.
