ASTM International’s waste management committee ( D34 ) is developing a proposed test method that focuses on detecting hazardous hydrocarbons in soil. According to ASTM International member Wesley McCall, the proposed standard ( WK84635 ) centers around use of a steel probe called an Optical Imaging Profiler (OIP). The probe is advanced into soils and unconsolidated materials using direct push…, 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 #11640, ###

A new standard developed by ASTM International’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) provides guidance on both blast and steel furnace slag product classification. ASTM defines iron and steel slags as the nonmetallic products of the manufacturing of iron and steel. They can be considered products based on the mineralogy of samples that are tested using this standard as a guide. “The…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11129 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method for determining thermal cracking properties of asphalt mixtures through the measurement of thermally induced stress and strain. ASTM’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as D8303. Asphalt pavement in cold climatic regions are highly susceptible to thermal cracking.
