Standards Update: ASTM D4311-09

ASTM D4311/D4311M-09 “Standard Practise for Determining Asphalt Volume Correction to a Base Temperature” was revised in 2009. QuantityWare has carefully analyzed this new version. Considerable changes to the implementation formulas have been made when compared to ASTM D4311-04. QuantityWare will implement this newly revised standard with BCP 10B in Q2 2010. BCP 10B will be provided to all BCP customers with current maintenance contracts.

ASTM D1250-80 Validation Information

Standards validation is an important part of our quality process during standards implementation and testing. For this reason we have published a validation of our ASTM D1250-80 ABAP implementation, compared to the commonly used API “C” implementation. Often underestimated, and as a small indicator of the issues involved, we have also released a fixed point arithmetic working paper. The Working Papers can be found in our Knowledge Base.

The Cost of Customer Implementation

What would it cost to program and implement a single measurements standard in an SAP environment? Only QuantityWare has the experience to offer a sensible development estimate calculation and make you aware of the additional cost and risk factors that must be considered. The Consulting Paper can be found in our Knowledge Base.
