ask me an editing question! I'm ready...

Being retired I have no pull anymore
I worked at ASTM International, Philadelphia Pennsylvania for 37 years..

I love Philadelphia! Fly, Eagles, Fly... yep, I'm always singing that song

I even know about the tush-push

are we talking fiction? like scientific/technical writing... maybe not for me

International standards

ahhh... ask me a different question

ASTM standards are technical specifications and test methods developed by ASTM International to ensure consistency and quality in various materials, products, systems, and services. These standards are used across industries worldwide, covering areas like metals, plastics, construction, and more. They provide a framework for testing, measurement, and verification of material properties, ensuring reliability and safety in various applications.

Key aspects of ASTM standards:

• Purpose:
  To establish consistent and reliable procedures for testing and evaluating materials and products.
  
  
• • Scope:
    ASTM standards cover a wide range of industries and applications, including construction, aerospace, chemical, electronics, petroleum, and more.
    
  • Development:
    Standards are developed by committees of experts in their respective fields through an open and transparent process.
    
  • Impact:
    ASTM standards facilitate global trade by providing a common language for materials and testing, ensuring compliance with international standards and regulations.
    
  • Examples:
    ASTM D6901, a standard for determining the tensile strength of plastics; ASTM E118, a standard for fire tests of building construction and materials.

  ASTM standards are used and accepted

well, why didn't you say so? Tensile strength-- well, I could talk about that all day. first...like... you know there's a breaking point... that's really the crux of the matter

but not on this thread and another time, maybe...

you got your soft plastics (6-pack rings and the lot) and then there are the hard plastics...

no, but seriously ... that's impressive

ASTM D638 is performed by applying a tensile force to a sample specimen and measuring various properties of the specimen under stress. It is conducted on a universal testing machine (also called a tensile testing machine) at tensile rates ranging from 1 to 500 mm/min until the specimen fails (yields or breaks).

set me up with one of those machines and I'm your Girl Friday!

Score mostly checked and corrected going back to my last post....Jocelyn, please don't cheat it makes the women look bad and is unnecessary....

I couldn't do that even when I worked. Those machines were at private laboratories under ASTM supervision

Thànk you @SimoneLisbon
