If you have a roof over your head, chances are very good that you have flashing over your head as well. Flashing serves as part of the weather resistant barrier systems that keep water from getting into a structure. A proposed new ASTM International guide will satisfy a market need for a standard to define durable flashing and will create a level playing field for flashing manufacturers. The…, ASTM Committee D08 Next Meeting:, Dec. 7-10, December Committee Week, New Orleans, La., Technical Contact:, Michael Schmeida, Oatey Co., Cleveland, Ohio, tel +1.216.898.3469; mschmeida@oatey.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joseph Hugo, tel +1.610.832.9740; jhugo@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, tel +1.610.832.9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9694

Excess moisture trapped in roofing or waterproofing systems can adversely affect performance, as well as lead to premature failure of a system and its components. Using an electrical impedance scanner is a fast and relatively easy way to conduct moisture surveys of roofing and waterproofing systems. A new ASTM International standard covers the use of electrical impedance scanners to monitor the…, ASTM Committee D08 Next Meeting:, Dec. 7-10, 2014, December Committee Week, New Orleans, La., Technical Contact:, Sean Fallon, Sean Fallon Consulting, Dublin, Ireland, Phone: +353-1-2851861; seanfallon14@gmail.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 #9674
