Historical Standard: ASTM D2395-07 Standard Test Methods for Specific Gravity of Wood and Wood-Based Materials
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D2395
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the specific gravity of wood and wood-based materials to generally desired degrees of accuracy and for specimens of different sizes, shapes, and moisture content conditions. The method title is indicative of the procedures used or the specific area of use.
| Section | ||
| Method AVolume by Measurement | 6 | |
| Method BVolume by Water Immersion | 9 | |
| Method CFlotation Tube | 12 | |
| Method DForstner Bit | 15 | |
| Method EIncrement Core | 18 | |
| Method FChips | 21 |
1.2 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.
