Fifth in the series, STP 915 is divided into two sections: General Topics and Use of Spray Drop Size Analyzers. Eight papers in the latter section focus on ruby laser in-situ instruments, discussing use, limitations, and advantages as well as presenting data on results of specific atomization.

STP 795 is the result of a symposium intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of the many facets of pesticide formulation and application. This book addresses packaging, granular formulations, and spray-related subjects. STP 795 represents a variety of subjects all contributing to a theme of knowledge about effective, efficient, and safe use of pesticides.

Test methods feature how to perform chemical analysis of wood and how to evaluate mechanical and physical properties. Others detail structural grading and a few specifications for wood and timbers such as wood paving blocks and modified wood.

Under the heading of wood preservatives, this volume covers specifications that fix the property requirements for various preservatives and tests that define procedures for chemically analyzing preservatives and evaluating physical properties.
