ASTM D3124
1. Scope
1.1 This test method is applicable to all types of polyethylenes, those ethylene plastics consisting of ethylene and -olefin copolymers longer than propylene, and blends of the above in any ratio.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 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. Specific hazards statements are given in Section 8.
