Причина отмены This test method covers the static thermal response of direct thermal media (paper, film, and paper/film laminates) to determine temperatures required for activation, functional and saturated densities. Static thermal response is a key test for determining heat stability characteristics of direct thermal media.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee F05 on Business Imaging Products, this test method was withdrawn in May 2016 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.

Значение и использование

This test method enables static thermal response comparisons between direct thermal media and facilitates process control.

Comparisons can be made between and within thermal media production lots from the same manufacturer.

Comparisons can be made between thermal media product grades from different manufacturers.

This test method is useful in predicting heat stability for end-use applications.
