15.2 Industry Standards/Specification Committee participation report

ASTM committee rep report

E-04 committee (information supplied by John Chir)

E384-“Knoop and Vickers Hardness” A survey ballot indicated that most E04 members preferred that E384 be separated from E92 and only be a microhardness method.

This means that E384 will be revised and balloted again as a microhardness method and if this ballot passes, E92 will have to be reinstated by E28.

E112-”Determining Average Grain Size” has been revised and successfully balloted. There are several changes but the most significant is in the planimetric procedure.

E45- “Determining Inclusion Content of Steel” has a new Plate I-A replacing Plate Ir. The images are new but represent the same lengths and widths as the old chart. Severity and width information are now included on the plate. There will also be a workshop on inclusion rating during the fall meetings in Atlanta 14-NOV-12. Information on the workshop is available on the ASTM web site

E28 committee (information supplied by Jim Hartman)

1. E1012 – (Alignment) Revised standard now published

2. E8 – (Tensile testing) – significant activity regarding “elongation” vs “elongation at fracture.” Data gathering currently underway.

3. E238 (Pin Bearing) – new revision approved

4. E18 (HRC) – negatives on new ballot to work out

5. E140 – (Hardness conversion tables) – negatives on proposed revision to be worked out.

6. E110 (Portable Hardness testers) – revision activity at subcommittee level.

There is also a lot of discussion regarding putting the Knoop and Vickers macro testing in with the micro testing standard. This is mostly an E4 activity but has some bearing on E28.

ACTION ITEM: Tim Myers to plan agenda time at next meeting to look at ASTME1012 impact on checklist AC7101/3. (DUE DATE: 01-AUG-12)

European Standards Kay Fisher reported

DIN 51418/2 German standard (X-ray spectrometry - X-ray emission- and X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF)) - Definitions and basic principles for measurements, calibration and evaluation of results is being updated

29.0 MEETING SUMMARY – OPEN

There was a last minute addition to the agenda:

An Auditor currently on an audit had questions concerning requirements for IRR

First Question concerned IRR for every operator/every two years. The supplier has three separate department conducting hardness testing. What is the expectation of the Task Group for every operator when it spans multiple departments?

TG reply: If they are really separate departments (independent) the consensus of the TG - they do not need to include all in one IRR but each department would need to conduct IRR for each operator of that department. But if the labs would use each department as a back up when equipment is down, then a comparison is needed of all is required.

Second question. IRR application in case of multiple operators/test machines

TG Reply: The guidance missing is that “multiple operators and multiple machines require IRR for equipment AND operators”. It is required to conduct IRR between operators – when multiple operators are approved for the given test method. It is required to conduct IRR between machines when multiple machines are used for a given test method.

Meeting Feedback - General comments

The agenda format was reviewed. New agenda format is great. The level of detail is a great improvement. Organization was key.
