Refractories — standards establish procedures for evaluating chemical behaviors, thermal properties, and strength. Others cover monolithics and refractories for glass.
Activated Carbon — specifications and test methods evaluate the properties of activated carbon, including gas phase evaluation tests and liquid phase evaluation.
Advanced Ceramics — standards cover thermal systems including heat engines and heat exchangers; armor; fuel cells; sensors/actuators; electronics; coatings; and catalyst substrates. Most feature tests in the areas of mechanical properties, physical properties, performance, and ceramic composites.
