Methods of examining large girth gear teeth to detect surface breaking flaws have often been time-consuming and limited in terms of data collected. However, a new ASTM International standard provides a more effective method for gear examination using eddy current array, a technology that has been widely used but, until now, not standardized. ASTM E2905/E2905M , Practice for Examination of Mill…, ASTM Committee E07 Next Meeting:, June 2-6, 2013, ASTM International Headquarters, West Conshohocken, Pa., Technical Contact:, Tom Shumka, Global Inspections-NDT, Inc., Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, Phone: 250-762-5525; tom@global-ndt.ca, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kathleen McClung, Phone: 610-832-9717; kmcclung@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9374

ASTM International Committee E11 on Quality and Statistics has approved the last in a series of ASTM standards that preserve military sampling standards that were originally under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Defense. The new standard, ASTM E2910 , Guide for Preferred Methods for Acceptance of Product, preserves MIL-STD-1916 in its original form. ASTM E2910 is under the jurisdiction…, ASTM Committee E11 Next Meeting:, May 8-10, 2013, ASTM International Headquarters, West Conshohocken, Pa., Technical Contact:, Dean V.

Phased array probes are a recently developed technology that offers significant advantages in the detection, sizing and imaging of defects that can affect the structural components of airplanes, bridges, power plants and other critical areas. A new ASTM International standard describes testing that can be done on various arrays to ensure that all inspectors are using similar testing equipment.…, ASTM Committee E07 Next Meeting:, June 2-6, 2013, ASTM International Headquarters, West Conshohocken, Pa., Technical Contact:, Michael Moles, Olympus NDT, Waltham, Mass., Phone: 416-831-4428; michael.moles@olympusndt, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kathleen McClung, Phone: 610-832-9717; kmcclung@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9299

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…
