Three-dimensional laser scanning is a maturing technology that holds great promise for capturing highly accurate information about an object or scene by collecting millions of dense measurements very quickly. ASTM International Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems is developing new standards for this technology, including ASTM E2807 , Specification for 3D Imaging Data Exchange, Version 1.0. ASTM…

A new task group within ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems plans to develop standards on position and orientation (pose) determination that could help increase productivity and enhance the global competitiveness of the U.S. manufacturing industry. The task group, under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee E57.02 on Test Methods, is currently working on its first proposed new standard, ASTM…

Discussions concerning how easily test results for dimension stone test specimens can be influenced by improper or nonuniform preparation methods have led to the ongoing development of a proposed new ASTM International standard. The new standard, ASTM WK31179 , Practice for Selection and Preparation of Dimension Stone Test Specimens, is being developed by Subcommittee C18.08 on Selection of…

Corrosion inhibitors are used extensively for pipelines in the oil and gas industry. Subcommittee G01.05 on Laboratory Corrosion Tests has been developing a series of standards on performance testing of corrosion inhibitors, including the most recently approved: ASTM G202 , Test Method for Using Atmospheric Pressure Rotating Cage. Subcommittee G01.05 is part of ASTM International Committee G01 on…

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…

Petrography is routinely performed on dimension stone for many construction projects in which new stone is being used, and it is often required in technical specifications. In order to facilitate this process, ASTM International Committee C18 on Dimension Stone has developed a new standard, ASTM C1721 , Guide for Petrographic Examination of Dimension Stone. The new standard is under the…, ASTM Committee C18 Next Meeting:, April 21-22, April Committee Week, St. Louis, Mo., Technical Contact:, Michael Scheffler, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc., Northbrook, Ill., Phone: 847-272-7400; mscheffler@wje.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Jeff Adkins, Phone: 610-832-9738; jadkins@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8432/Dec2009

Localized corrosion, such as pitting, cracking or crevice corrosion, can be destructive to process equipment, but if it is detected early enough, potential damage can be minimized or avoided. A new ASTM International standard provides a means for electrochemical testing for corrosion. The new standard, G199 , Guide for Electrochemical Noise Measurement, was developed by Subcommittee G01.11 on…

ASTM International Subcommittee G01.10 on Corrosion in Soils will be conducting two round robin testing procedures on Tuesday, November 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during ASTM meetings in Atlanta, Ga. One round robin will be for the development of a new standard test method to measure the oxidation-reduction potential (redox) of soils, while the other will address precision and bias for the 4…
