A new ASTM International standard aims to provide a nondestructive testing alternative that helps reveal imperfections in pipe joints used for gas and water. Specifically, the standard describes how phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) can test electrofusion joints in polyethylene pipe systems in the field, either during installation or in service. “Normally, the integrity of these pipe joints…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org Release #10693

ASTM International’s committee on nonferrous metals and alloys ( B02 ) is proposing two new standards. One is for a zinc-aluminum-copper alloy with improved strength while the other seeks to determine the requirements for die castings with thin walls which can help reduce industry costs. The first proposed standard ( WK 63461 ) is for an alloy that seeks to improve the elevated temperature…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +1.610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10564

Biannual collaborative events and a new standard are helping companies that make or use nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment with their efforts to evaluate whether those systems have interoperable data that can be shared and analyzed. These efforts ultimately help support safety and performance of products and parts for industries such as aerospace, automotive, energy, rail, and other…, “Connect-a-thon” Events, The nondestructive testing committee (E07) is holding biannual “connect-a-thon” events for those who use “digital imaging and communication in nondestructive evaluation” (DICONDE). These open forums – held in conjunction with the committee’s regular January and June meetings – allow DICONDE software developers to network and learn from each other. “Many NDT system providers have found success…, New Standard, A new standardized practice ( E3147 ) from the committee will be used to help evaluate, verify, and validate whether a system complies with DICONDE interoperability. It applies to radiographic, ultrasonic, and eddy current examination instruments and systems.
