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’s waste management committee ( D34 ) is developing a proposed test method that focuses on detecting hazardous hydrocarbons in soil. According to ASTM International member Wesley McCall, the proposed standard ( WK84635 ) centers around use of a steel probe called an Optical Imaging Profiler (OIP). The probe is advanced into soils and unconsolidated materials using direct push…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11640, ###

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 ###

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 be used to help measure the concentration of potentially hazardous surfactants that are used in consumer and industrial products. ASTM’s waste management committee ( D34 ) approved the new standard (D8310). According to ASTM International member Larry Zintek, chemicals covered in the new standard are released into the environment through direct use and down…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #10992

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
