ASTM International’s gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help to verify the purity level of hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel producers and testing laboratories will eventually be the primary users of the proposed standard ( WK89809 ). The test method will cover how gas chromatography and pulse discharge helium ionization detector (GC/PDHID) can be used to…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11806 ###

, A new ASTM International standard developed by the gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) provides a test method for the measurement of siloxanes and trimethylsilanol (TMSOL) in gaseous fuels. The standard ( D8455 ) addresses siloxanes and TMSOL as they are known to build up and cause various issues with fuels and gas-powered systems. This includes gas grids and elements of generating electricity such…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11536 ###, ,
