About This Item
ASTM E1672 is the Standard Guide for Computed Tomography (CT) System Selection, providing a practical framework for evaluating CT equipment choices. It helps users consider the factors that matter when selecting a system for imaging, inspection, or analytical work, supporting better-informed purchasing and technical decisions. As an ASTM standard, it is useful for organizations that want a consistent reference when comparing CT system capabilities, intended applications, and overall suitability.
Overview of ASTM E1672
The purpose of ASTM E1672 is to guide users through the selection of computed tomography systems based on their intended use and technical requirements. Rather than defining a test method, this standard focuses on the considerations involved in choosing a CT system that aligns with a specific workflow. That may include system capabilities, performance expectations, and operational needs. For teams comparing equipment, ASTM E1672 offers a structured reference that supports more consistent and defensible selection decisions.
Common use cases of ASTM E1672
ASTM E1672 is commonly used during procurement, equipment evaluation, and method planning for CT-based inspection or analysis. It is relevant when organizations need to compare different computed tomography systems for fit with a particular application, whether in quality control, product evaluation, or technical inspection. The guide is especially helpful when selection depends on balancing system performance, workflow requirements, and practical constraints. ASTM E1672 supports a more standardized approach to choosing CT equipment.
Benefits of using ASTM E1672
Using ASTM E1672 can improve consistency in CT system selection and reduce the risk of choosing equipment that does not meet application needs. It supports clearer internal review, more reliable procurement decisions, and better alignment between system capability and intended use. For organizations managing imaging-based inspection or evaluation, the guide can also help streamline communication between engineering, quality, and purchasing teams. ASTM E1672 is valuable because it turns a complex equipment choice into a more structured process.
