Remarks:
Committee D18 has identified the location of selected changes to these test methods since the last issue,
D2216–05, that may impact the use of these test methods. (Approved July 1, 2010)
(1) Replaced “has to” with “must” in 1.10. (6) Added “that still retain moisture” in 10.4.2.
(2) Added the “heat resistant” to “gloves” in 6.5. (7) Replaced “its being heated” with “heat transmission” in
(3) Replaced “reduce” with “minimize” in 7.1. 10.5.
(4) Added “or required significant digits” in 10.3. (8) Added “as determined by D7263” in 12.1.3.
(5) Revised 10.4.1 to clarify the process of obtaining and (9) Added Footnote A to Table 1 reflecting balance require-
