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.
