The following ASME standards development committees are actively soliciting volunteers:

Slewing Ring Bearings (SRB) Standards Committee
The SRB committee is looking for engineers/technicians who are knowledgeable and interested in the revision of the SRB standard. The purpose of the Slewing Ring Bearings Standards Committee is to develop standard methods to evaluate variables and establish practices for satisfactory performance in ball slewing ring bearings (SRBs) in oscillating or indexing applications. This will allow effective communication and exchange of data among the user, installer, and SRB manufacturer such that all parties understand each other’s requirements and have a common point of reference. The current SRB standard applies to the design, application, installation, inspection requirements, and maintenance of slewing ring bearings (SRBs) using balls that do not require dynamic capacity-life ratings. These also may be called slewing rings. This is inclusive of four-point contact single-row and double-row ball bearings. Such bearings are used in, but not limited to, equipment such as hydraulic shovels, excavators, aerial platforms (manlifts), cranes, wind-power generators, building maintenance units (BMUs), and other equipment where one part of the structure must rotate with respect to another in an oscillating or indexing manner.

The PTC Subcommittee on Reference Method Accuracy and Precision (ReMAP)
The PTC Subcommittee on Reference Method Accuracy and Precision (ReMAP) is looking for volunteers from the waste combustion industry, air pollution agencies, or industrial and municipal waste facilities with knowledge in determining the precision of pollutant emission measurements based on analysis and determining the stack concentration of selected air pollutants. The ReMAP Subcommittee is responsible for developing a code that defines the precision of measurements of manual testing methods used to measure emission compliance with USEPA and ASME methods. As a member of the ReMAP Subcommittee, you will be providing your technical expertise to develop new standards for addressing the precision of selected measurement methods and issues associated with measurement accuracy as well as maintain and revise such documents to accommodate new technology.

ASME BPVC Section IV, Europe International Working Group (IWG)
ASME BPVC Section IV, Europe International Working Group (IWG) The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section IV Standards Committee on Heating Boilers is seeking participants who are interested in volunteering for and contributing on their recently formed Europe International Working Group (IWG). The committee is seeking any interested participants outside the United States of America. Participants do not have to reside in Europe to contribute to this committee. If enough interest is gained from interested parties outside the Unites States of America, this committee may be reformatted to to a more appropriate committee. The Europe IWG serves as a subordinate committee operating within the Charter of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee on Heating Boilers (BPV IV) and scope of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section IV, Rules for Construction of Heating Boilers. The Europe IWG provides for the participation in BPVC Section IV development by technical expert members based primarily in Europe. A committee member would be responsible for the project management of such Committee activities, with guidance from experienced committee members and staff.
