ASTM D5749-01

Standard Specification for Reinforced and Plain Gummed Tape for Sealing and Securing

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers plain and reinforced paper gummed adhesive tapes suitable for securing and banding paper products and closing fiberboard boxes.  
1.2 This specification is intended to replace Fed. Specs. CID A-A-1492, CID A-A-1671, and PPP-T-45 in part.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.  
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 11, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
