This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 216; the number immediately following the designation indicates the
year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last
reapproval. This is also a standard of the Institute of Petroleum issued under the fixed designation IP 19 I. The final number
indicates the year of last revision.
This method was issued as a joint ASTM- IP standard in 1965.
This method has been adopted for use by government agencies to replace Method 1015 of Federal Test Method Standard No.
