ASTM is best known for its standards, the Digital Library is a collection of nearly every other ASTM publication – 1,500+ eBooks and 60,000+ papers and chapters, dating back to 1932. These are seminal reference publications that provide:

  • Critical insight on the need for a standard as well as the technology and research that led to its development,
  • Hands-on guidance on the proper application and interpretation of a standard,
  • First-hand accounts of user experiences and their opinions on improvements and future needs in their industries.

Three main collections of publications make up the books, journals, and papers of the Digital Library.
Peer-Reviewed Conference Proceedings/ STPs (Special Technical Publications)
Each year, hundreds of technical experts present and publish papers reflecting their research and insight on the need for new standards. These papers undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure scholarly content and technical accuracy.
