New ASTM standard to serve as guide for steel testing
It is reported that a new ASTM International standard will serve as a guide for manufacturers and laboratories that make and test steel products according to standards using the SI system of units.
Mr Lester Burgess director of quality at TSP said that the new standard, ASTM A1058, Test Methods for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products Metric, arose from a need for a stand alone metric steel testing standard.
The new standard follows a distinctly different format from that of well known testing standard ASTM A370, Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products. The new standard references and cross references international standards such as European Committee for Standardization, the International Organization for Standardization and the Japanese Standards Association.
ASTM A1058 was developed by a task group under the direction of Subcommittee A01.13, part of ASTM International Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys. Committee A01 will begin referencing the new standard as it applies to their individual specifications.
