Measurement systems analysis is an important topic in statistics and quality for engineering, manufacturing, laboratory practice and business process applications. A new ASTM International standard, ASTM E2782 , Guide for Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), covers many core issues of MSA. ASTM E2782 was developed by Subcommittee E11.20 on Test Method Evaluation and Quality Control, under the…

Three-dimensional laser scanning is an emerging technology that holds great promise for capturing dimensionally 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 E2761, Specification for 3D Imaging Data Exchange. ASTM E2761,…

Creep-fatigue testing simulates the loading and temperature conditions experienced by turbine components of aircraft engines, nuclear reactor components and fossil power plant components during service. With increasing need for cyclic operation during peak power demands, reliable creep-fatigue test data is necessary for the life assessment of aging power plants. A new ASTM standard, ASTM E2714 ,…

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…
