ASTM International’s stormwater control measures committee ( E64 ) has developed a new standard on characteristics of sediments used in laboratory performance testing of stormwater treatment devices. The new standard, soon to be published as E3317, describes the minerology, specific gravity, and particle size distributions (PSDs) of silica-based sediments used in the testing of these devices.…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11574 ###

Fatigue fretting is the process of crack formation and progressive crack growth at a location in a mechanical system where two components are in contact and undergoing a vibratory loading. A new ASTM International standard provides insight on what conditions promote fretting fatigue and offers approaches to design an experiment to assess it. ASTM E2789 , Guide for Fretting Fatigue Testing, was…, ASTM Committee E08 Next Meeting:, May 16-20, May Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, Richard W.
