ASTM F109-12, “Standard Terminology Relating To Surface Imperfections On Ceramics,” has just been released and is now available from Document Center Inc. This 12-page terminology standard describes and illustrates imperfections observed on whitewares and related products.
Terms defined in ASTM F109 include not only a written description, but also a small graphic to illustrate the definition. The last modification of the standard was in March 2011, however this new release cancels and replaces that edition.
For additional definitions of terms relating to whitewares and related products, refer to Terminology Standard ASTM C242. To observe these defects, examination is to be performed visually, with or without the aid of a dye penetrant, as described in Test Method ASTM C949.
Agreement by the manufacturer and the purchaser regarding specific techniques of observation is strongly recommended.
