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 proposed standard that will cover composite pressure vessels used for storing and transporting gas at high pressure. According to ASTM member James Mitchell, the most prominent use for the vessels described in the proposed standard ( WK86721 ) is for natural gas virtual pipelines, in which gas is transported from the…, 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 #11709 ###

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…

A new ASTM International standard will help manufacturers in the aerospace, power generation, and automotive industries test parts for defects. The organization’s nondestructive testing committee ( E07 ) developed the standard (soon to be published as E3213). Through process compensated resonance testing (PCRT), parts from planes, cars, and more can be tested for defects by vibrating the part…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org Release #10792

A new ASTM International standard aims to provide a nondestructive testing alternative that helps reveal imperfections in pipe joints used for gas and water. Specifically, the standard describes how phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) can test electrofusion joints in polyethylene pipe systems in the field, either during installation or in service. “Normally, the integrity of these pipe joints…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org Release #10693
