ASTM International’s committee on refractories ( C08 ) is seeking volunteers to help develop a standard for measuring the heat of hydration when installing refractory castables, used to create linings for furnaces and kilns. According to ASTM International member Maurice Cook, the type of test described in the proposed standard ( WK54504 ) was used back in the 1960s but was never officially…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +1.610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10479

A new standard will help test technology that is used in many electronic devices. According to ASTM members Lin Tingyu (National Center for Advanced Packaging) and Hi Jinjiang (Grikin Advanced Materials Co. Ltd.), the new standard will provide a baseline of quality, reliability, and process for manufacturers of “sputtering targets,” which are often used for thin-film deposition, etching, and…, ASTM Committee F01 on Electronics Next Meeting:, January 31, 2017, January Committee Week, Norfolk, Va., Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Lin Tingyu, National Center for Advanced Packaging, Wuxi, Jiangsu province, China, tel +1.535.805.3318; tingyulin@ncp-cn.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #10163

Research and field experience have shown that fines free of clay and other harmful materials can be non-detrimental, and even beneficial, for concrete properties. A proposed new ASTM International standard will be used to distinguish between harmful and non-harmful fines in construction aggregate. ASTM WK36804 , Test Method for Rapid Determination of the Methylene Blue Value for Fine Aggregate…

No industry standard currently exists that addresses the vacuum sealing requirements of knife-edged flanges for high vacuum applications. Existing international standards focus on interchangeability of the hardware, but do not address the reliability of the seal. ASTM International Committee E42 on Surface Analysis is now working on a proposed standard on the subject, WK21206 , Specification…
