Stringing Together our Ropes, Strings, and Wire Grips ASTMs
I was looking at our "ASTM DIN, JIS, ISO, TAPPI and other Standards List" as I always do and simply noticed that our "Ropes and String and Wire" Grips are not exactly "threaded together." We have categories in our ASTM-Library sure, and most of either our rope or string articles, single-strand or non, may fall under textiles, while wire will fall under "Metal" if it's steel, but I personally know too well from experience that it can be difficult to find what you're looking for even when you know yourself what it is. (How exactly do you type things into Google sometimes? Tools, scientific words, sometimes you're looking for a fastener and you know what it is in your mind but you don't know or remember exactly what it's called. .. It's a fender washer) Anyways I decided to put most of our Ropes, String, and Wire Grips into one category --which will just be this blog post.
ASTM A1007 - Standard Specification for Carbon Steel Wire for Wire Rope
ASTM A1023 - Standard Specification for Stranded Carbon Steel Wire Ropes for General Purposes
ASTM D2594 - Standard Test Method for Stretch Properties of Knitted Fabrics Having Low Power
Organizing data can be a challenge. Not so much in and of itself if it's for yourself, but more so if it's for other people after you've organized it. I think the key is can someone else find the book that you put away in the library after your done with it. If you have any suggestions on how we can further better our organization of our grips and fixtures, tensile, compression, or machines, or frankly any of our material science accessories in our catalogue we are open to hearing about them. Feel free to contact us with any suggestions. Any way to help you find what you need for your material testing needs is why we are here. Or any way you can help us help you. I think that would string together nicely!
And thank you once again for being our loyal customers.
