1、Designation:D88312Standard Terminology Relating toPlastics1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D883;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year
2、of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope*1.1 This terminology covers definitions of technical termsused in the plastics industry.Terms that are
3、 generally under-stood or adequately defined in other readily available sourcesare not included.1.2 When a term is used in an ASTM document for whichCommittee D20 is responsible it is included only when judged,after review,by Subcommittee D20.92 to be a generally usableterm.1.3 Definitions that are
4、identical to those published byanother standards body are identified with the abbreviation ofthe name of the organization;for example,IUPAC is theInternational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.1.4 A definition is a single sentence with additional infor-mation included in discussion notes.It is re
