Many ship owners and operators repair ship structures with temporary steel patches known as doublers. The U.S. Coast Guard and Navy, as well as other maritime authorities, usually allow such patches until the ship’s next inspection period, which can be as long as three to five years from the date of repair. Despite this situation, there is not currently a standard for repairing steel hull ships…, ASTM Committee F25 Next Meeting:, May 17-19, 2011, May Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, Chao H.
