Reprinted from the Annual Book of ASTM Standards . This edition includes only those terms and definitions that appear in the various technical committees' terminology standards. While to some extent the compilation serves the purpose of an ASTM technical dictionary, it is the result of the definitions-writing efforts of about 132 technical committees, each approaching its work from the viewpoint of its own technical field of discipline.
