ASTM International Committee E57 Will Meet Important Industry Need for Consensus Standards, ASTM International, one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations (SDO) in the world, has announced the formation of ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems. The new standards initiative was driven by the cooperative efforts of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and stakeholders within the 3D imaging systems sector. Committee E57 will focus on the…, Powerful Tools for Measurement and Information Capture, 3D imaging systems are used to rapidly capture three-dimensional information of a scene or object. This information is often provided in the form of “point clouds” (grouping of points) with associated color and intensity data. Usage of 3D imaging systems has steadily increased during the past 10 years as the devices have become important measuring tools in industrial sectors such as construction…, Dynamic, Growing Technology in Need of Consensus Standards, 3D imaging technology has been in existence for several decades. Current systems include laser scanners, 3D optical scanners, 3D range cameras, and 3D flash laser radars (LADARs). Although these systems have become more established during the last decade, there are presently no standards for evaluating the performance of 3D imaging systems or the related end projects derived from the data they…, ASTM International: Meeting the Call for a Comprehensive Standards Program, Following a NIST workshop of stakeholders from the 3D imaging systems sector held in March, ASTM International was chosen in a competitive bid process to be home of the new standards initiative. With a proven consensus process and state-of-the-art standards development infrastructure, ASTM is well suited to meet the 3D imaging industry’s need for comprehensive standards. ASTM Committee E57 will…

ASTM International Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials and Applications will hold its annual mini-symposium on Jan. 24, 2006, at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The focus of the sessions will be on the role and use of statistics in the development of standard test methods, with emphasis on recent developments. The following three lectures will be given during…, Statistical Requirements Inside and Outside ASTM International, Many coatings and raw material manufacturers have registered to the ISO 9002 standard. That standard has been replaced by ISO 9001:2000, with the requirements for the new standard being more extensive. However, some of the new requirements can be met by using basic statistical techniques. This presentation, which will be given by Robert Morrison, is an overview of the new requirements and compare…, The Use of Ranked vs. Rated Data in the Evaluation of Weathered Specimens or Material, The evaluation of specimens after weathering can be handled by a number of approaches; two of these are rating and ranking. Rating requires one to compare the specimens against a scale (i.e., 1 to 10). Ranking, on the other hand, requires the direct comparison of the specimens against each other. Louis Asher will make this presentation, which will center on these two approaches and will…, ASTM International Interlaboratory Study Program, ASTM International recently approved a new Interlaboratory Study Program. Through this program, ASTM is providing staff support and financial resources to technical committees by offering assistance with the identification of participating laboratories, overseeing the generation of sample distribution, collecting data, and generating precision and bias statements and research reports. This…

ASTM International Subcommittee D01.23 on Physical Properties of Applied Paint Films has approved three new standards that each deal with different types of measurements for paint coatings. Subcommittee D01.23 is under the jurisdiction of Committee D01 on Paint and Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications. Titles and descriptions of each new standard follow. , D 6991, Test Method for Internal Stresses in Organic Coatings by Cantilever (Beam) Method, Test Method D 6991 covers the procedure for measuring internal stresses in organic coatings by using the cantilever (beam) method. The test method can be used to determine the internal stresses in coatings after they have cured. Most organic coatings shrink when they cure. This induces an internal stress in the coatings. If the substrate is flexible, such as a vinyl composition tile, and has…, D 7091, Practice for Nondestructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied to Ferrous Metals and Nonmagnetic, Nonconductive Coatings Applied to Nonferrous Metals, The development of D 7091 is the result of subcommittee discussions on the need to revise or replace D 1186, Test Method for Nondestructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied to a Ferrous Base, and D 1400, Test Method for Nondestructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Nonconductive Coatings Applied to a Nonferrous Metal Base. Rather than revising or…, D 7187, Test Method Measuring Mechanical Aspects of Scratch/Mar Behavior of Paint Coatings by Nanoscratching, Test Method D 7187 determines the resistance to mar and scratch of paint coatings on smooth, flat surfaces. The standard, which had its origin in a paper presented by Li Lin, DuPont, at the 2002 Committee D01 Centennial symposium on new directions in coatings performance technology, is a possible solution to recent searches within the automotive industry for a better way to measure the scratch…

ASTM International Task Group D01.42.20 is soliciting participants to conduct a round robin to evaluate the precision of ASTM standard D 4446, Test Method for Anti-Swelling Effectiveness of Water-Repellent Formulations and Differential Swelling of Untreated Wood When Exposed to Liquid Water Environments. This standard is commonly known as the wood swellometer test and is widely used by…
