Plastic pipe and components are used with low pressure oxygen and enriched air for a variety of applications, including medical and healthcare, agriculture (fish farming), welding and fabrication, waste water treatment and others. Despite this widespread use, there are currently no standards that help in the materials selection and design features of these systems. ASTM International Committee…

X-ray fluorescence spectrometry is used often to determine a wide range of elements in alloys. The technique provides rapid, accurate, and precise multi-element analysis that enables efficient melt process control. It is also widely used for certification and over-check analysis of product. Although x-ray fluorescence has become a widely used technique of analysis by the nickel alloy industry,…

A revolutionary new ASTM International standard will change the way in which healthcare professionals preserve and transfer healthcare information about their patients. The standard, E 2369, Specification for Continuity of Care Record (CCR), was developed by Subcommittee E31.28 on Electronic Health Records, which is under the jurisdiction of Committee E31 on Healthcare Informatics. The Continuity…

ASTM International Committee G04 on Compatibility and Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres originally developed the standard, G 88, Guide for Designing Systems for Oxygen Service, in 1984. Since that time, G 88 has been regarded as one of the leading design guides for oxygen systems throughout all industries that use oxygen. While the original version of the standard contained…

For over two years, clinicians and technical experts have been working with ASTM International and nine co-sponsoring organizations to develop the most needed standard in healthcare. The Continuity of Care Record (CCR) is a core dataset to be sent to the next healthcare provider whenever a patient is referred, transferred, or otherwise uses different clinics, hospitals, or other providers. The…

The ASTM International E31 Healthcare Informatics Committee and E31.28 Electronic Health Record Subcommittee advanced another step toward reaching consensus and having an ASTM-approved Standard Specification for the Continuity of Care Record (CCR). At its meeting on 26 April 2005, E31.28 successfully resolved a number of issues raised during the balloting period, by adding editorial…
