A new ASTM International standardized practice will help determine “water loads,” that occur during landing, taxiing, and takeoffs for water-based aircraft. These planes must be able to safely react to the water loads, which are based on an aircrafts’ operating characteristics. “The standard provides clear instructions on how to determine the required loads for either dual float equipped planes…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10646

ASTM International’s committee on plastic piping systems (F17) is developing a proposed standard that will provide procedures for rehabilitating or reconstructing pressure pipelines and conduits used for water, sewer, gas, and petroleum. The proposed standard (WK60068) describes the robotic application of a structurally independent spray in place pipe (SIPP) inside pipelines. Such application…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Robert Morgan, tel +1.610.832.9732; rmorgan@astm.org Release #10570
