Metal Gage Standards

This specification and appendix thereto cover the requirements for new metal cans made of 28 gage and lighter sheet metal plate, and DOT 2P and 2Q metal containers suitable for packaging and packing items for shipment and storage and the packaging, packing, and marking...

MPIF Standard 35 is issued to provide the design and materials engineer with the information necessary for specifying powder metal (PM) materials that have been developed by the PM parts manufacturing industry. This section of Standard 35 deals with products manufactured by Metal...

1.1 This practice covers a general procedure for using the Impulse Excitation Method (IEM) to facilitate natural frequency measurement and detection of defects and material variations in metallic and non-metallic parts. This test method is also known as Impulse Excitation Technique (IET), Acoustic...

5.1 General: 5.1.1 This guide is intended to support PBF-LB process and parameter development, part acceptance criteria, and process control tests. 5.1.2 Flaws and Defects-Fabricating fully dense parts continues to be a challenge in AM as the process intrinsically introduces volumetric flaws into a...

1.1 These test methods cover the tension testing of wrought and cast aluminum- and magnesium-alloy products, with the exception of aluminum foil,2 and are derived from Test Methods E8M, which cover the tension testing of all metallic materials. Note 1: These metric test methods are the equivalents...

1.1 This test method describes the use of ultrasonic film thickness gages to measure accurately and nondestructively the dry film thickness of organic coatings applied over a substrate of dissimilar material. Measurements may be made on field structures, on commercially manufactured...
