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.

ASTM grain size is a property written into many specifications for metals, with finer grain sizes generally indicating better mechanical properties, such as formability. While measuring certain materials for such properties can be difficult, electron backscatter diffraction can provide precise determinations as well as give information on grain size distribution and statistics. A new ASTM…

Trona, or sodium sesquicarbonate, is a fine mineral powder that has proven to be effective at removing acid gases from air emissions. While trona can be a useful component of air pollution control systems, it can be difficult to handle, particularly when moisture is present. A proposed new ASTM standard will present a repeatable, precise and accurate test method for analyzing moisture levels in…, ASTM Committee E01 Next Meeting:, Nov. 14-17, November Committee Week, San Antonio, Texas, Technical Contact: J, ames D.
