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 ###, ,

ASTM International’s gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help determine the presence of arsine in hydrocarbon gaseous fuels including renewable natural gas (RNG). Arsine is a toxic gas that is detrimental to fuel quality and can adversely impact public health if it is released into the atmosphere. According to ASTM International member Kevin Thind, the…

ASTM International’s concrete pipe committee ( C13 ) has approved a new standard that will help in manufacturing circular concrete pipe that is installed using pipe jacking techniques. The type of pipe covered by the new standard is typically used to convey sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or utilities. Engineers, precast concrete pipe manufacturers, and jacking contractors will be the…

A new ASTM International standard will serve as a guide for standards related to determining the effects of biogenic sulfuric acid on concrete products. ASTM’s concrete pipe committee approved the standard, which is soon to be published as C1894. According to ASTM International member Mel Marshall, the new standard fills the need for a guide that discusses microbially induced corrosion (MIC) of…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Jimmy Farrell, tel +1.610.832.9661; jfarrell@astm.org Release #10898

Two proposed ASTM International standards aim to help manufacturers more easily use seamless copper-iron tubes in air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR) systems that use carbon dioxide. Supermarkets, cold storage facilities, ice rinks, mobile A/C systems and more could benefit, according to members of the copper and copper alloys committee ( B05 ). According to member Florian Hudelmaier,…, About ASTM International, Committed to serving global societal needs, ASTM International positively impacts public health and safety, consumer confidence, and overall quality of life.

A new ASTM International standard will help determine how suitable a gaseous fuel is for use in internal combustion engines in both mobile and stationary applications. ASTM’s committee on gaseous fuels ( D03 ) published the new standard, which will soon be published as D8221. The new standard will be used to determine the calculated methane number (MNc) of gaseous fuels to be used in internal…, 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 #10649
