American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Digital Library

The ASTM Standards and Engineering Digital Library is a vast collection of industry-leading standards and technical engineering information. The Library covers a broad range of engineering disciplines, including aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, environmental, geological, health and safety, industrial, materials science, mechanical, nuclear, petroleum, soil science, and solar engineering.

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

1. We hold the print version of ASTM standards until 1996 and many of the ASTM STPs in our collections

2. The purpose of this introductory talk is to remind us all that we have access to the ASTM standards and engineering digital library and that it includes 6 full text journals, manuals and special technical publications as well as technical standards

3. That this e-resource is easy to use and can be requested by science researchers so a basic level of familiarity is essential.

ASTM Terminology Dictionary

This may be useful to point out to readers. Try a few examples such as –

(1) Modular femoral hip implant

modular femoral hip implant

any device, constructed of two or more mating parts intended for implantation into the femur for the purpose of replacing the femoral hip joint. bolts/screws a fastener used to secure modular pieces of a femoral component. bullets/distal sleeves modular accessories for increasing the length or distal diameter of the femoral component. Collars a medial platform located immediately distal to the femoral neck. femoral head a modular bearing, spherical in shape, that mates with the femoral component. neck extensions an intermediate modular couple between the femoral component and the femoral head. Attachment can vary (for example, threads, tapers). proximal sleeves/pads modular accessories for varying the geometry of the femoral component in the metaphyseal area.
