Historical Standard: ASTM D6123/D6123M-97 Standard Specification for Pressure-Sensitive Tape for Light-Duty Packaging and General Purpose Masking
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D6123 / D6123M
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers paper-backed pressure-sensitive tapes used for light-duty packaging and masking.
1.2 The values stated either in inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently, without combining values in any way.
1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, section 13, 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.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
