Subcommittee G02.10 on Erosion by Solids and Liquids, part of ASTM International Committee G02 on Wear and Erosion, is interested in hearing from anyone who uses cavitation erosion testing in their work. The objective of this survey is to help the subcommittee determine the current degree of interest in and importance of cavitation erosion test methods.

The subcommittee is especially interested in learning the following:

• Is ASTM standard G 32, Test Method for Cavitation Erosion Using Vibratory Apparatus, being used for cavitation erosion testing?
• Are other cavitation erosion or liquid impingement erosion test methods being used (for example, G 73, Practice for Liquid Impingement Erosion Testing, or G 134, Test Method for Erosion of Solid Materials by a Cavitating Liquid Jet)?
• Are there any concerns about cavitation erosion as a field problem or research topic?
 
Those interested in responding can contact Frank Heymann, who is the chairman of the survey task group (see contact information below). Respondents will be sent a questionnaire in order to provide further detail to their answers.

ASTM International standards are available for purchase from Customer Service (phone: 610/832-9585; https://www.astm.org/contact/) or at www.astm.org.

For further technical information, contact Frank Heymann, Brunswick, Maine (phone: 207/725-7073; marseah@gwi.net). Committee G02 will meet Nov. 15-16 at the November Committee Week in Tampa, Fla.
