Overhead conductors used to transmit electricity typically consist of stranded aluminum wires that surround a stranded steel wire core. However, a more recently developed conductor consists of composite materials of carbon and glass fibers that replace the stranded steel-supporting member. This new type of conductor will be covered in a new ASTM International standard, ASTM B987 , Specification…, ASTM Committee B01 Next Meeting:, April 29, 2015, April Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, Eric Bosze, Ph.D., CTC Global, Irvine, Calif., Phone: +1.949.381.7262; ebosze@ctcglobal.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kristy Straiton, Phone: +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: +1.610.832.9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9694

In many testing laboratories, it can be necessary to qualify a new test method, instrument or lab itself with respect to one or more performance characteristics. One such key characteristic is bias, or mutual agreement of average test results run on the same material. A proposed ASTM standard will aid in the determination of bias equivalency. ASTM WK37659 , Guide for Testing for Bias Equivalency…
