Historical Standard: ASTM D1055-97 Standard Specifications for Flexible Cellular Materials-Latex Foam
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D1055
1. Scope
1.1 These specifications, including test methods, apply to flexible cellular rubber products known as latex foam rubbers but do not apply to sponge and expanded rubbers. The base material used in their manufacture may be natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, synthetic rubber, or rubber-like materials, alone or in combination.
1.2 In case of conflict between the provisions of these general specifications and those of detailed specifications or test methods for a particular product, the latter shall take precedence. Reference to methods for testing cellular rubber products should specifically state the particular test or tests desired.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portions, Sections 8, 16, 18, 23, 26, 29, and 31, of these specifications: This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. 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.
