Over the decades, ASTM shear test methods have continued to evolve as composite applications require higher shear strengths.

Over the last three decades, the rubber process analyzer has evolved as the processability test instrument of choice for measuring and solving many rubber factory problems. Also, a new ASTM reflective ...

When first introduced to mechanical testing of composite materials, one can be confused, even overwhelmed, by the number of available test standards. One reason for this large variety of tests is the ...

The annual estimated cost of microbiologically induced corrosion to the oil and gas industry ranges from $4 billion to $30 billion. Jan 28, 2019 ASTM International announced Jan. 21 a new test method ...

Methods of measuring statistical test sensitivity (signal-to-noise ratio) were published by John Mandel in 1964 and incorporated into ASTM D6600 in 2000, mainly to provide a means of determining the ...

Testing of lubricants and surfaces on reciprocating systems, like linear compressors and engines, traditionally involves the use of large-scale tribometers before final component testing. This article ...
