by Jbs120808 g3 — ASTM Standards for Mechanical Fasteners and Related Processes: 2nd Edition (ISBN13: 978-0-8031-8002-4) provides all of the standards developed by ASTM International Committee F16 on Fasteners. Compiled from more than 15 volumes of theAnnual Book of ASTM Standards, the book also includes the most commonly referenced documents from the standards.
ASTM says this is the most comprehensive fastener volume ever offered for use in the construction, automotive, military, railroad, shipbuilding, boiler, and pressure vessel sectors. The 150 standards cover the raw materials, inspection, testing procedures, and quality assurance of fasteners. Numerous other topics of interest range from hydrogen embrittlement to requirements for organic and inorganic coatings.
Available online only, ASTM Standards for Maintenance, Repair, and Operations in the Chemical Process Industry: 3rd Edition (stock # CHEMICAL08), features 210 ASTM standards compiled from three volumes of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards that have been developed by nine ASTM technical committees.
Topics covered in the compilation include steel, stainless steel and related alloys, iron castings, metallic-coated iron and steel products, nonferrous metals and alloys, copper and copper alloys, light metals and alloys, reactive and refractory metals and alloys, fasteners, and plastic piping systems.
While the use of radio frequency identification transponders has become common for inventory tracking purposes, RFID system performance can be affected by product and packaging materials, notes ASTM. A new ASTM standard can be used to provide a framework for testing RFID system performance that can be applied to, and compared across, all RFID manufacturer systems in any industrial application that involves a unit case load or palletized load. The new standard, D7435, Test Method for Determining the Performance of Passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Transponders on Loaded Containers, has been developed by Subcommittee D10.18 on Miscellaneous Packaging.
