ASTM temperature measurement standards

ASTM Committee E20 on Temperature Measurement

Southampton PA, USA ? As we approach the 50th anniversary of ASTM?s Committee E20 on Temperature Measurement (November 6, 2012), it is useful to print an up-to-date list of the results of its work: modern temperature measurement standard guides, specifications, practices and test methods. This organization provides one of the most comprehensive collections of such voluntarily produced standards? in the world.

Other, similar standards are published elsewhere and some are described, with links provided, after the ASTM list below.

E20?s standards described above are available for purchase online either singly or as part of collected series, such as Annual Book of ASTM Standards, ASTM Volume 14.03 Temperature Measurement (www.astm.org/BOOKSTORE/BOS/1403.htm).

ASTM Committee E20 on Temperature Measurement? was formed in 1962. The Committee meets twice a year, at the May and November Committee Weeks, with about 40 members attending 2 days of technical meetings. The Committee, with a current membership of approximately 120, has jurisdiction over 43 standards, published in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Volume 14.03.

E20 has 6 technical subcommittees that maintain jurisdiction over these standards.

Each main committee in ASTM International is composed of subcommittees that address specific segments within the general subject area covered by the technical committee.
