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 ###

A new ASTM International standard covering table saw safety has been developed by ASTM’s occupational health and safety committee ( E34 ). The standard, soon to be published as E3280, addresses a gap in U.S. standards, which address design safety of table saws but don’t directly address the end users. The new standard guide includes topics beyond design-related safety, including installation,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #11576 ###

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 proposed ASTM International standard is intended to focus on robotic assembly applications. ASTM’s 3D imaging systems committee ( E57 ) is developing the proposed standard ( WK72962 ), which should be the first in a series of standards on 3D, or depth perception, systems. According to ASTM International member John Sweetser, principal engineer, Intel Corp/Realsense Group, there are currently…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Pat Picariello, tel +1.610.832.9720; ppicariello@astm.org Release #11033 ###
