ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developed two proposed standards that will have direct practical applications for new-built infrastructure. Both proposed standards are relevant to alternative non-metallic materials that are applied to concrete structures for civil and infrastructure uses. “These proposed standards will help further implement non-metallic materials,…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11734 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) has developed a new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. FRP bars are used as internal concrete reinforcement. According to ASTM International member Francisco De Caso, this new standard (D8505) is a milestone after several decades of collaboration to further integrate these composites…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11664 ###

ASTM International’s electrical insulating liquids and gases committee ( D27 ) has approved a new standard that will cover the use of recycled oil in electrical equipment. According to ASTM member Jimmy Rasco, the new standard ( D8180 ) will serve as a basis for the transformer industry to purchase re-refined transformer liquid. “A standard for this purpose does not currently exist and there is…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #11620, ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help define the test methods and specimens that should be used for bolted joint related properties. Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11569 ###

ASTM’s committee on electrical insulating liquids and gases ( D27 ) is developing a proposed standard for insulating fluids in distribution and power transformers. According to ASTM International member Edward Casserly, because insulating fluids can oxidize over time, the liquids are formulated with antioxidants that act as inhibitors to minimize oxidation that is detrimental to cooling…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #11438 ###
