ASTM Centrifuges and
GCs
ASTM International is one of the largest
voluntary standards development organizations in the world-a trusted
source for technical standards for materials, products, systems, and
services. Known for their high technical quality and market relevancy,
ASTM International standards have an important role in the information
infrastructure that guides design, manufacturing and trade in the global
economy.
ASTM International, originally known as the American Society for Testing
and Materials (ASTM), was formed over a century ago, when a
forward-thinking group of engineers and scientists got together to
address frequent rail breaks in the burgeoning railroad industry. Their
work led to standardization on the steel used in rail construction,
ultimately improving railroad safety for the public. As the century
progressed and new industrial, governmental and environmental
developments created new standardization requirements, ASTM answered the
call with consensus standards that have made products and services
safer, better and more cost-effective. The proud tradition and forward
vision that started in 1898 is still the hallmark of ASTM International.
Today, ASTM continues to play a leadership role in addressing the
standardization needs of the global marketplace. Known for its best in
class practices for standards development and delivery, ASTM is at the
forefront in the use of innovative technology to help its members do
standards development work, while also increasing the accessibility of
ASTM International standards to the world.
ASTM continues to be the standards forum of choice of a diverse range of
industries that come together under the ASTM umbrella to solve
standardization challenges. In recent years, stakeholders involved in
issues ranging from safety in recreational aviation, to fiber optic
cable installations in underground utilities, to homeland security, have
come together under ASTM to set consensus standards for their
industries.
