ASTM International Committee E07 on Nondestructive Testing has recently approved three new standards on phased arrays, polymer matrix composites for aerospace applications and digital imaging. The committee will be meeting in Plantation, Fla., on Jan. 24-28 and welcomes participation in its standards developing activities., Ultrasonic Methods, Thousands of portable phased array units, used for weld inspections, have now been sold worldwide. There are many benefits to these devices, including speed, cost, imaging, flexibility and setups, along with no radiation, licensing or contamination. Despite these advantages, there was not a universal inspection procedure for phased array inspection of welds. A new standard, E2700 , Practice for…, Specialized NDT Methods, A new guide gives an introductory overview that describes how mature and established nondestructive testing methods that are routinely used by industry are applied specifically to the characterization of polymer matrix aerospace composites.

, New ASTM Committee to Develop Standards That Will Facilitate New System Designs and Industry Growth, ASTM International, one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations (SDOs) in the world, today announced the formation of ASTM Committee F41 on Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Systems. This important standards initiative was driven by the cooperative efforts of the United States Navy and UUV industry stakeholders to facilitate new UUV system designs and enable next-generation…, Critical Role in Oceanographic Research, Commercial and Military Applications, UUVs have a notable history dating back to the early 1980s. Early systems built on their manned submersible predecessors and helped transform oceanographic research during the decade. Used by the academic community in notable deep-sea expeditions, such as the discovery and exploration of the wreck of the Titanic, UUVs have played a critical role in ocean surveying, environmental monitoring, and…, UUV Growth and Evolution: ASTM Standards Will Help Lead the Way, Todays UUV industry includes two classes of systems: remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), which are attached to a mother-ship by a long cable; and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which operate without a tether. To better meet the challenges of emerging applications, existing UUV systems must evolve with new technology. Specific areas of need include greater interoperability among…, Fast and Efficient Standards Development Through the ASTM Process, Led by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the premier trade association for the unmanned systems industry, UUV stakeholders selected ASTM International as the SDO best suited for the development of new international industry standards. With a proven consensus process and state-of-the-art standards development infrastructure, ASTM International was best positioned…, Public/Private Sector Collaboration under the ASTM Umbrella, ASTM Committee F41 is another example of the long-standing partnership between the public and private sectors in developing consensus standards under the ASTM International process.
