A new standard will help test technology that is used in many electronic devices. According to ASTM members Lin Tingyu (National Center for Advanced Packaging) and Hi Jinjiang (Grikin Advanced Materials Co. Ltd.), the new standard will provide a baseline of quality, reliability, and process for manufacturers of “sputtering targets,” which are often used for thin-film deposition, etching, and…, ASTM Committee F01 on Electronics Next Meeting:, January 31, 2017, January Committee Week, Norfolk, Va., Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Lin Tingyu, National Center for Advanced Packaging, Wuxi, Jiangsu province, China, tel +1.535.805.3318; tingyulin@ncp-cn.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #10163

Maybe you haven’t given much thought to the growth of interlaminar cracks, or cracks in between layers, in laminated composite materials. Perhaps you should though, because such materials are everywhere and interlaminar cracks can cause serious damage to many types of structures and products, from sports equipment to spacecraft. This is why a new ASTM standard, D7905/D7905M , Test Method for…, Technical Contact:, Barry D.

While machine-placed wet-cast precast concrete retaining wall units have been commercially available since the late 1990s, there has not been an ASTM standard available to cover these products. Now, ASTM International Committee C27 on Precast Concrete Products is working on such a standard. ASTM WK38192 , Specification for Wet-Cast Precast Modular Block Retaining Wall Units, is being developed by…, ASTM Committee C27 Next Meeting:, Dec. 10, 2013, December Committee Week, Jacksonville, Fla., Technical Contact:, Clint Hines, JC Hines and Associates LLC, Anderson, Ohio, Phone: 513-843-6570; clint@jchines.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joseph Hugo, Phone: 610-832-9740; jhugo@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9441

While there are many commercially available stormwater treatment products currently on the market, there is no universal testing standard that would allow the performance of these products to be accurately compared. A proposed new ASTM International standard will fill this need, providing a testing method for stormwater treatment products that use filtration as a primary treatment process. ASTM…
