Three primary factors define the success or failure of any attempt to forcibly penetrate a security fence system: the tools and devices employed, the number of aggressors and their level of sophistication. A newly approved ASTM International standard can be used to measure the resistance of fence systems to such an attempt. ASTM F2781 , Practice for Testing Forced Entry Resistance of Security…, ASTM Committee F14 Next Meeting:, Feb. 16, 2010 , in conjunction with American Fence Association, FENCETECH 2010, Orlando, Fla., Technical Contact:, Charles Naegele, P.E., Allied Consulting Inc., Clarks Summit, Pa., Phone: 570-586-7260; canaegele@aol.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Thomas O’Toole, Phone: 610-832-9739; totoole@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8427/Dec2009

Flow characteristics of fine metal powders are important in filling dies for pressing of powder metallurgy compacts, which are later sintered and sometimes machined into finished parts. The flow rate, as measured by a new ASTM standard, determines the flow necessary for a precise quantity of powder to be introduced into the die. The new standard, B964 , Test Methods for Flow Rate of Metal Powders…
