About This Item
ASTM D6136/D6136M is the ASTM standard for measuring the kerosine number of unsaturated dry felt by a vacuum method. It provides a defined test approach for evaluating this material property in a consistent way, which can support product comparison, quality control, and purchasing decisions. By using a standardized procedure, laboratories and manufacturers can better align test results and reduce uncertainty when assessing performance-related characteristics of dry felt materials.
Overview of ASTM D6136/D6136M
This standard, titled Standard Test Method for Kerosine Number of Unsaturated (Dry) Felt by Vacuum Method, focuses on a specific laboratory measurement for dry felt. The vacuum method is intended to give a repeatable way to assess kerosine number under controlled conditions. ASTM D6136/D6136M is typically used as a technical reference when a defined test method is needed for material evaluation, internal specification checks, or customer requirements tied to felt performance.
Common use cases of ASTM D6136/D6136M
ASTM D6136/D6136M is commonly used in testing labs, manufacturing quality programs, and procurement settings where unsaturated dry felt must be evaluated in a consistent manner. It may be referenced during incoming inspection, batch verification, or comparative testing between products and suppliers. Because the method is tied to a specific property measurement, it is useful whenever buyers, producers, or specifiers need a reliable basis for checking felt against established requirements.
Benefits of using ASTM D6136/D6136M
Using ASTM D6136/D6136M helps support uniform testing practices and clearer communication between suppliers, customers, and laboratories. It can improve consistency in product evaluation, making it easier to compare results and document compliance with stated requirements. The standard also supports quality control by reducing ambiguity in how the kerosine number is measured, which may help limit disputes and improve confidence in material acceptance decisions.
