Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Equipment

Many prior posts asked about manufacturers of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar equipment. REL Inc in Calumet MI (http://www.relinc.net/products/hopkinson-bar/) designs, builds & installs custom equipment to meet your requirements. We offer a university discount.  And, we provide in-house testing; manufacturing of samples, etc. A new offering in this field is our SurePulse software which simplifies the data acquisition effort for Hopkinson bar testing. 

A question for the audience:

There is no ISO or ASTM specification for compression testing on Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. We wonder if there is the need for such a standard?  What do you think?

Thank you,
