A new ASTM International standard will help determine procedures for making butt fusion joints with Polyamide 12 (PA12) pipe and fitting by means of heat fusion joining. ASTM’s plastic piping systems committee ( F17 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as F3372. According to ASTM International member Jim Mason, of Mason Materials Development LLC, “Having an industry consensus…, 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 #11041 ###

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 support more effective and innovative ways to join complex connections in storm and sewer pipes. The organization’s plastic piping systems committee ( F17 ) developed the standard (soon to be published as F3202). According to ASTM International member John Kurdziel, the new standard will allow for different kinds of thermoplastic products to be used for…, 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 #10785

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
