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 ###

ASTM International announced today the Journal of Testing and Evaluation, the organization’s flagship journal, received an increased 2021 impact factor rating of 1.333, up 5.5% from the previous year. The impact factor is calculated each year by Clarivate Analytics and given to journals that appear in their database, Science Citation Index. Launched in 1973, the journal is a multi-disciplinary…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #11472 ###

ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) has developed a new standard that will be used by forensic experts to determine the minerals within geological material. The new standard will soon be published as E3294. ASTM International member Libby Stern notes that soils and other geological material that are being tested as trace evidence are often too small to be tested by…

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 forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) has approved three new standards that will aid the study of explosives in forensic investigations. The suite of standards, which cover terminology, intact explosives, and explosive residues, were developed by E30’s subcommittee on criminalistics (E30.01). Forensic scientists, students, trainees, and those involved in legal matters will be…

ASTM International’s forensic sciences committee ( E30 ) has begun submitting its standards to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) for designation as American National Standards. The E30 executive committee approved this action, with support from the main committee membership, to engage broader, critical stakeholder input into the standards being published. The forensic science…
