ASTM WK73856
New Test Method for Testing of Advancing Skimmers
1. Scope
The formulation of test methods, specifications, (including equipment specifications), classifications, standard practices, definitions, and other standards pertaining to performance, durability, strength of systems and techniques used for the control of oil and hazardous substances spills. The work of this Main Committee will be coordinated with other ASTM Committees and organizations having similar interests.
Keywords
skimmer; oil; advancing skimmer; spill response
Rationale
Multiple test protocols exist for testing skimmers. However, there is no standard test protocol whose test results align with the inputs required by the ERSP calculator. The project team will review existing test protocols as part of the initial development effort to ensure that best practices are incorporated into the new test protocol.
The title and scope are in draft form and are under development within this ASTM Committee.
