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 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help to minimize the entrapment or crush hazard posed by motorized partitions when they are in motion. Such partitions, made up of a series of rigid panels that move along a motorized track, are used to provide flexibility in the size of spaces typically used for meetings, sports, and other functions where children are often present. ASTM International’s…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +1.610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #11720 ###
