Abstract
This chapter is aimed at expanding upon the listings of standard test methods on standardization documents. The chapter lists 130 properties of cellular plastics and elastomers and tabulates the standard test methods known to be applicable to each. The chapter uses a key to the symbols to indicate the type of cellular materials used (flexible or rigid) and a number of other matters of interest. It provides a detailed discussion of 22 foam properties tested by standard test methods. In most cases, only one or a few methods are listed and discussed, but, in the case of combustion properties, a total of 13 methods are considered. This emphasis was made partly because of the considerable attention given to this important subject in recent years. The chapter concludes with the presentation of several non-standardized test methods currently in use. These methods are thermal analysis, analytical pyrolysis, and molecular-weight determination and distribution.
