A rim slip performance test for tires that has been done at the Nevada Automotive Test Center for more than 20 years has now become an ASTM International standard. ASTM F2803 , Test Method for Evaluating Rim Slip Performance of Tires and Wheels, was developed by Subcommittee F09.20 on Vehicular Testing, part of ASTM International Committee F09 on Tires. Rim slip occurs when tire and wheel…, ASTM Committee F09 Next Meeting:, April 21-22, April committee week, St. Louis, Mo., Technical Contact:, Jason Whiteley, Nevada Automotive Test Center, Silver Springs, Nev., Phone: 775-629-2000, jwhiteley@natc-ht.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Rick Lake, Phone: 610-832-9689; rlake@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8494/Feb2010

Localized corrosion, such as pitting, cracking or crevice corrosion, can be destructive to process equipment, but if it is detected early enough, potential damage can be minimized or avoided. A new ASTM International standard provides a means for electrochemical testing for corrosion. The new standard, G199 , Guide for Electrochemical Noise Measurement, was developed by Subcommittee G01.11 on…

ASTM International Subcommittee G01.10 on Corrosion in Soils will be conducting two round robin testing procedures on Tuesday, November 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during ASTM meetings in Atlanta, Ga. One round robin will be for the development of a new standard test method to measure the oxidation-reduction potential (redox) of soils, while the other will address precision and bias for the 4…
