ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) has approved a new test method that will be used to determine common organic additives in engine coolants. The new standard ( D8567 ) describes how high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to analyze engine coolants for azoles and organic acids, which can affect performance. According to Henry Owusu, chair of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11831 ###

ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) is developing two proposed standards that will be used to evaluate the ability of electric vehicle (EV) coolants to protect against corrosion. Coolants help regulate operating temperatures while providing protection against corrosion, freezing, and overheating. Coolants can come directly in contact with the vehicle fuel…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11702 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will establish a new practice for determining safe-life, inspection threshold, and reoccurring inspection intervals for airplanes. ASTM International’s general aviation aircraft committee ( F44 ) is developing the proposed standard. According to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, the safe-life of a structure is the number of events, such as flights,…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #11295 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard would address requirements to evaluate small aircraft components as low stress structures. ASTM’s general aviation aircraft committee ( F44 ) is developing the proposed standard. The proposed standard (WK61232) would address requirements for users to designate aircraft components as low stress structures, allowing the user to forgo certain structural…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #11263 ###
