ASTM International’s wear and erosion committee ( G02 ) has released a new standard that provides a test method for measuring friction and adhesive wear properties of lubricated and nonlubricated materials using the twist compression test (TCT). The new standard (soon to be published as G223) can be used to “rank combinations of surfaces in their resistance to adhesive wear. This can be useful…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Jennifer Tursi HER , tel +1.610.832.9653; jtursi@astm.org Release #11697 ###

A new ASTM International standard will allow laboratories and research institutions to estimate mechanical properties of metallic materials through a minimally destructive process known as small punch testing. ASTM’s nuclear technology and applications committee ( E10 ) developed the new standard, which will soon be published as E3205. “Small punch testing uses extremely small specimens to…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.8329726; smawn@astm.org Release #11055 ###

A new ASTM International standard will be used to test the efficiency of radiological decontamination methods. ASTM’s committee on nuclear technology and applications ( E10 ) developed the new standard ( E3190 ). ASTM International member Rick Demmer notes that the new standard will provide a difficult final exam for new decontamination efforts so they can be evaluated in an independent method…

A new ASTM International standard aims to help protect workers and property during routine operations at nuclear facilities. ASTM International’s committee on nuclear technology and applications ( E10 ) developed the standard ( E3191 ), which provides guidance on permanent foam coatings – applied to various facility surfaces – that reduce: Migration of contamination into or along buildings,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #10707

ASTM International’s committee on nuclear technology and applications ( E10 ) has created new specifications for coatings that help prevent the release of radioactive particles when nuclear facilities are being decommissioned. The specifications aim to immobilize radioactive contamination, minimize worker exposure, and protect uncontaminated areas against the spread of radioactive contamination…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org R elease #10372

A new ASTM International standard, adopted from an American Concrete Institute test method, will be used to help ensure the safety of construction projects. ASTM C1741 , Test Method for Bleed Stability of Cementitious Post-Tensioning Tendon Grout, is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee C09.41 on Hydraulic Cement Grouts , part of ASTM International Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete…

Piston ring/liner interface can contribute as much as half the total friction loss in internal combustion engines, with the resulting wear leading to reduced energy efficiency and raised emissions. A new ASTM International standard provides a method to more accurately measure small amounts of wear on curved piston ring segments and their counterfaces after lubricated bench-scale testing. “Coupled…

ASTM Committee G02 on Wear and Erosion is including a field trip in the plans for its Dec. 8-9 meeting in Jacksonville, Fla. Committee members will be visiting the Tribology Laboratory in the mechanical engineering department at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The Tribology Laboratory is actively involved in a wide variety of tribological research and tribology education projects. The…

A new ASTM standard will be useful to slide and engine companies, as well as makers of bushing materials, in studies that involve the measurement of system friction forces. The new standard, ASTM G203 , Guide for Determining Friction Energy Dissipation in Reciprocating Tribosystems, was developed by Subcommittee G02.50 on Friction, part of ASTM International Committee G02 on Wear and Erosion.…
