Three dimensional image system technology is now used in a wide variety of industries, including construction, mapping, manufacturing, mining and forensics. For all of these industries, safe usage of 3D imaging equipment is a top priority. However, until the approval of a new ASTM International standard, no safety guidelines specifically oriented toward 3D image system technology existed. The…

When fasteners penetrate roofing or waterproofing products as a planned part of installation, it is expected in some cases that the product will resist water migration at the point of penetration. A new ASTM International standard, D7349 , Test Method for Determining the Capability of Roofing and Waterproofing Materials to Seal Around Fasteners, addresses this situation. ASTM D7349 was developed…
