My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...

The most probable number (MPN) bioburden test method can be a valuable tool for determining bioburden counts when the typical bioburden test methods are problematic on a particular product or when a ...

A new test method for elastomers and thermoplastic elastomers has been developed and now is standardized, according to ASTM 8363-20. The purpose of the TSSR test is to rapidly characterize those ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...
