Applied Technical Services performs absorption conditioning of polymer-based materials in accordance with the ASTM D5229 testing standard. We perform this testing in our advanced materials testing laboratories.
ASTM D5229: Polymer Absorption Properties and Equilibrium Conditioning
ASTM D5229 (ASTM D5229M-20) is a standard set by ASTM International, or the American Society for Testing and Materials, that refers to the method used to analyze absorption and desorption conditions for a polymer-based material. ASTM D5229 testing covers several different procedures, including moisture diffusion material properties, moisture equilibrium content, moisture diffusivity constant, general moisture conditioning prior to material testing, humidity level conditioning prior to material testing, and moisture desorption conditions prior to material testing. This standard also accounts for additional environmental conditions prior to various types of testing, including mechanical testing.
