Historical Standard: ASTM D6200-01(2007) Standard Test Method for Determination of Cooling Characteristics of Quench Oils by Cooling Curve Analysis
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6200
1. Scope
1.1 This test method describes the equipment and the procedure for evaluation of a quenching oil's quenching characteristics by cooling rate determination.
1.2 This test is designed to evaluate quenching oils in a non-agitated system. There is no correlation between these test results and the results obtained in agitated systems.
1.3 The values in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parenthesis are provided for information only.
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.
