ASTM Meeting in Atlanta

We held our meeting on Monday in Atlanta. Here is an update on progress from the E20.02 subcommittee on Radiation Thermometry.

WK21204 - Standard Guide for the Selection and Use of Wideband, Low-temperature Infrared Thermometers

This work item was completed and put up for ballot in September. There was one negative. The reason for the negative will be corrected. Then the work item will be balloted to the subcommittee prior to December 15. This way we will be ready to ballot to the main committee in time for our meeting in May.

E 1256 – 95: Standard Test Method for Radiation Thermometers (Single Waveband Type)

The figures have been updated in this standard. They will be put to ballot shortly.

A second item that will be taken care of is standardizing terminology in this standard with the terminology in IEC standards. Work on this will begin mid-February.

Proposed Work Item - Calibration of Wide-band, Low Temperature Infrared Thermometers

This work item will be submitted at the beginning of January. It will use parts of a BIPM standard and part of a technical guide for the uncertainty portion of this standard.
