About This Item
ASTM E168 is the ASTM standard titled Standard Practices for General Techniques of Infrared Quantitative Analysis. It provides a technical framework for using infrared methods in quantitative work, helping users apply consistent practices when measuring and comparing results. As a reference document, it matters for laboratories and technical teams that need reliable infrared analysis, better repeatability, and a common basis for interpretation. ASTM E168 supports more disciplined use of infrared data in routine testing and quality-focused workflows.
What is ASTM E168?
ASTM E168 is a standards document focused on general techniques for infrared quantitative analysis. Based on its title, it addresses the practical methods used to obtain quantitative results from infrared measurements rather than a narrow material specification. This makes it a useful technical reference for establishing consistent analytical practice, supporting method selection, and improving confidence in results. In product-page terms, ASTM E168 is the standard to consult when infrared data must be handled in a controlled and repeatable way.
Where is ASTM E168 used?
ASTM E168 is commonly used in analytical laboratories and other settings where infrared instruments are used for quantitative measurement. It is relevant to workflows that depend on comparing sample responses, preparing measurements, and maintaining consistent analysis practices. The standard may be used by organizations involved in testing, quality control, or technical evaluation where infrared methods play a role. For teams working with infrared analysis, it offers a practical reference for more uniform results and better method discipline.
Why is ASTM E168 important?
ASTM E168 is important because quantitative infrared analysis depends on consistency, clear technique, and repeatable handling of data. Using a recognized ASTM standard can help reduce variability, support compliance-oriented procedures, and improve the reliability of results used in product evaluation or quality control. ASTM E168 also provides a common technical language for procurement and laboratory documentation, which can simplify internal procedures and reduce risk when infrared measurements are part of a formal testing program.
