New ASTM Standards Update
As promised, here is our fourth annual installment of new ASTM standards. The following construction-related standards were adopted by the American Society for Testing and Materials in 1995.
Just as a reminder, here is the organization of the standards:
A—Ferrous Metals
B—Non-Ferrous Metals.
C—Cementitious, Ceramic, Concrete, and Masonry Materials.
D—Miscellaneous Materials.
E—Miscellaneous Subjects.
F—Materials for Specific Applications.
G—Corrosion, Deterioration, and Degradation of Materials.
ES—Emergency Standards.
P—Proposals.
PS—
. This is a new group. These standards have a 2 year life span, when they must
be re-evaluated.
