A new ASTM International standard covers installation techniques for metal jacketing on mechanical insulation systems. ASTM’s thermal insulation committee ( C16 ) developed the new standard, soon to be available as C1879. Metal jacketing is used as the protective cover over pipe and rigid tubing insulation in most outdoor applications, which include oil, gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food/…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Mary Mikolajewski, tel +1.610.832.9678; mmikolajewski@astm.org Release #11239 ###

ASTM International’s amusement rides and devices committee ( F24 ) is revising one of its key standards to include a new section requiring owner/operators to have a documented record retention program. The standard ( F770 ) outlines information and establishes procedures for the operation, maintenance, inspection, and training for amusement rides and devices. According to ASTM International…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact: , Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11229 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will establish a test method for obtaining acceleration data on water slides using human test subjects. ASTM International’s amusement rides and devices committee ( F24 ) is developing the proposed standard. Data obtained through the standard is crucial to developing and calculating the expected forces riders feel on a water slide. The level of these forces…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel+1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11216 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will establish specification requirements for flexible protective jackets made of modified asphalt or butyl rubber. ASTM International’s thermal insulation committee ( C16 ) is developing the proposed standard. Protective jackets guard products such as ducts and pipe insulation against physical abuse as well as, in some cases, the effects of weather. All…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel+1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Mary Mikolajewski, tel+1.610.832.9678; mmikolajewski@astm.org Release #11215 ###

ASTM International’s Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence (AM CoE) announced awardees of its Call for Projects (CFP) in support of its Research to Standards initiative to further accelerate standards development for additive manufacturing (AM). For the first time, the CFP allowed non-AM CoE partners to propose and receive support for projects focused on closing AM standardization gaps. A…, Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT, (Germany) will generate data required to support a new standard for monitoring the health status of optical systems in laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) machines. This work has potential to improve the reliability of additive manufacturing systems while reducing maintenance downtime and costs. “This support provides Fraunhofer ILT with a perfect framework to bolster the industrial adoption…, National Research Council Canada, (NRC), , with partners Swerim (Sweden), Sirris (Belgium), and RISE (Sweden), will develop data to support a new standard for determination of moisture content in AM powder feedstocks, critical to the reliability, stability, and productivity of AM processes. Feedstocks are handled under controlled conditions, however moisture cannot always be avoided, impacting process robustness.
