Annotation of standard text ASTM D1710-15(2021) :

This specification covers the testing and requirements of extruded and compression molded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) rods and heavy-walled tubing manufactured from virgin or reprocessed PTFE resin. Covered here are three types of PTFE fluorocarbon materials as follows: Type I (premium), materials having maximum physical and electrical properties to meet rigid requirements; Type II (general purpose), materials having properties required of general electrical, mechanical, and chemical applications; and Type III, materials for noncritical chemical, electrical, and mechanical applications. These types are further subdivided into two grades, and even further into four classes as appropriate. Sampled specimens shall be appropriately tested on the following: workmanship and appearance (color, finish, and internal defects); specific gravity; tensile strength and elongation; dielectric strength; dimensional stability; and melting point.
