ASTM International’s nondestructive testing committee ( E07 ) is developing a proposed standard that will guide the process of electrical conductivity tests for verification of heat treatment of aluminum alloys. The proposed standard ( WK86698 ) contains procedures for verifying aluminum alloy heat treatment by means of eddy current techniques, which measure electrical conductivity. Aluminum…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org Release #11723 ###

ASTM International’s nondestructive testing committee ( E07 ) is developing a standard outlining a new test method for inspection of glass fiber-reinforced polymer products. The method uses a microwave-based system that will make inspecting these products more accessible. The proposed standard itself ( WK85608 ) details the basics of inspection, like equipment set-up, data acquisition,…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org Release #11651 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will satisfy the need for a practice that describes how to use impulse excitation as a means of detecting defects in metal parts. The nondestructive testing committee ( E07 ) is developing the proposed standard ( WK81106 ). According to ASTM International member Steve James, the proposed standard will provide a proper understanding of the nondestructive…

ASTM International’s dimension stone committee ( C18 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to test the resistance of natural stone to long-term freeze-thaw cycles. ASTM International member Frank Strickland notes that the de facto standard for testing freeze-thaw resistance for natural stone has been ASTM standard C666, which describes a pass-fail test for concrete. However, the…
