The construction of an unprecedented number of overhead power lines around the world has increased the demand for accurate data and models for electrical conductors. A proposed new standard, ASTM WK35208, Test Methods for Stress-Strain and Creep Testing for Overhead Electrical Conductors, will answer this global need. ASTM WK35208 is being developed by Subcommittee B01.02 on Methods of Test and…

Code words have historically been used in the electrical conductor industry as a simple method of identifying the construction details of an overhead conductor product. A proposed new ASTM standard will list code word names and provide a means to register and publish new code words. ASTM WK28737 , Specification for Electrical Overhead Conductor Code Word Names, is being developed by Subcommittee…, ASTM Committee B01 Next Meeting:, Oct. 13, October Committee Week, San Antonio, Texas, Technical Contact:, Gordon Baker, General Cable, Highland Heights, Ky., Phone: 859-572-8493; gbaker@generalcable.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Jennifer Rodgers, Phone: 610-832-9694; jrodgers@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8613
