ASTM International Committee E57 Will Meet Important Industry Need for Consensus Standards, ASTM International, one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations (SDO) in the world, has announced the formation of ASTM Committee E57 on 3D Imaging Systems. The new standards initiative was driven by the cooperative efforts of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and stakeholders within the 3D imaging systems sector. Committee E57 will focus on the…, Powerful Tools for Measurement and Information Capture, 3D imaging systems are used to rapidly capture three-dimensional information of a scene or object. This information is often provided in the form of “point clouds” (grouping of points) with associated color and intensity data. Usage of 3D imaging systems has steadily increased during the past 10 years as the devices have become important measuring tools in industrial sectors such as construction…, Dynamic, Growing Technology in Need of Consensus Standards, 3D imaging technology has been in existence for several decades. Current systems include laser scanners, 3D optical scanners, 3D range cameras, and 3D flash laser radars (LADARs). Although these systems have become more established during the last decade, there are presently no standards for evaluating the performance of 3D imaging systems or the related end projects derived from the data they…, ASTM International: Meeting the Call for a Comprehensive Standards Program, Following a NIST workshop of stakeholders from the 3D imaging systems sector held in March, ASTM International was chosen in a competitive bid process to be home of the new standards initiative. With a proven consensus process and state-of-the-art standards development infrastructure, ASTM is well suited to meet the 3D imaging industry’s need for comprehensive standards. ASTM Committee E57 will…

A new ASTM International standard, D 7247 , Test Method for Evaluating the Shear Strength of Adhesive Bonds in Laminated Wood Products at Elevated Temperature, will be an important new tool for anyone working with engineered wood products. The proposal for D 7247 originated in Committee D07 on Wood and members of both that committee and Committee D14 on Adhesives worked together to develop it.…

Dried blood represents the greatest challenge to cleaning surgical instruments. To meet this challenge, ASTM International Committee D12 on Soaps and Other Detergents has developed a new standard, D 7225 , Guide for Blood Cleaning Efficiency of Detergents and Washer-Disinfectors. The new guide is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee D12.16 on Hard Surface Cleaning. Water-soluble components of…

ASTM International Committee C26 on Nuclear Fuel Cycle has approved two new standards, both under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee C26.05 on Methods of Test. All interested parties are invited to participate in the standards developing activities of Committee C26. ASTM International standards are available for purchase from Customer Service (phone: 610/832-9585; https://www.astm.org/contact )…, ASTM C 1637 , Test Method for the Determination of Impurities in Plutonium Metal: Acid Digestion and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) Analysis, The approval of C 1637 is part of Subcommittee C26.05’s project involving the approach to keeping the analytical methodology used for determining specifications for nuclear materials up to date. This project began in 1990 when the subcommittee decided to develop separate standards from methods that were part of larger multi-methods materials specification standards. Once the new test methods…, ASTM C 1638 , Guide for the Determination of Iodine-129 in Uranium Oxide, Guide C 1638 covers the determination of iodine-129 in uranium oxide by gamma-ray spectrometry. Users may include U.S. Department of Energy sites that are dispositioning excess uranium to waste sites. Although there is no specification for the levels of I-129 in fuel, waste disposal sites may set limits due to the potential mobility of iodine in the environment. This guide may be used to ensure…
