How and where are ASTM standards used?

ASTM International - Standards Worldwide
ASTM standards are used by individuals, companies, and agencies around the world. Purchasers and sellers incorporate standards into contracts; scientists and engineers use them in their laboratories and offices; architects and designers use them in their plans; government agencies around the world reference them in codes, regulations, and laws; and many others refer to them for guidance. ASTM standards are ?voluntary? in the sense that their use is not mandated by ASTM.

How are ASTM standards developed?

ASTM International - Standards Worldwide
Standards development work begins when members of an ASTM technical committee identify a need or other interested parties approach the committee. Task group members prepare a draft standard, which is reviewed by its parent subcommittee through a letter ballot. After the subcommittee approves the document, it is submitted concurrently to the main committee and the entire membership of ASTM.

Can I order security products to ASTM standards?

Krueger-HVAC.Com: GRD Frequently Asked Questions
Krueger can manufacture security grilles that meet ASTM A750. ASTM A750 applies to ventilating grilles for detention areas. ASTM A750 references four material specifications. They are: ASTM A6, A29, A627, and A629. A6 covers structural shapes and plates. A29 is for steel bars. A627 and A269 cover tool-resisting steel. Construction to ASTM standards is expensive due to special testing methods, materials tracing, special material specifications, and heat treating.

Have the ASTM standards for linear dimensional stability (for EPDM) been modified?

Maintenance of EPDM Roofs
The ASTM standard for linear dimensional stability (ASTM D 1204) was originally 2% maximum. In the mid-90s the standard was changed to 1% maximum. The change in the ASTM standard was influenced by the belief that membrane shrinkage may be a contributor to the bridging seen on some old ballasted applications. In reality, EPDM has always exhibited a dimensional stability value of much less than 1%, even when the ASTM Standard was 2%.

What compression standards are used?

High Definition Television (HDTV) FAQ for the UK (Sky BBC Te...
Sky are using DVB-S2 MPEG-4 for HD broadcasts. MPEG-4 offers a much better compression ratio than MPEG-2 that they use now because it compresses across frames. This will allow them to broadcast high definition video with a bandwidth only about twice what they currently need for standard definition. A single HDTV channel will probably require about 8 Mbps (Mega bits per second) bit rate. The downside of using such a high compression ratio is that more information is lost from the picture.
