A proposed ASTM International standard will provide test methods used to determine trace metal content in carbon black with ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy) or ICP-MS (Inductively Couples Plasma – Mass Spectrometry) after adequate digestion. ASTM’s committee on carbon black (D24) is developing the proposed standard (WK73324). “ICP test methods are a commonly used…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11050 ###

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

ASTM International will hold an organizational meeting to potentially create a new technical committee that develops voluntary consensus standards for the recycled vulcanized rubber industry. This includes both rubber and carbon black and has many practical applications including use in plastics, strengthening concrete, and infill for playgrounds. This, online meeting, is Wednesday, October 5 2016, at 10:00am EDT. Industry stakeholders and other parties interested in charting a path towards standardization for this industry are welcome to attend. Consensus standards could set a bar for this growing industry resulting in high-quality practices and products used worldwide. The objectives of the meeting are to: • bring a range of industry experts together…, ASTM Recycled Vulcanized Rubber Meeting:, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 at 10:00am (Eastern); online (Webex) meeting, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10165

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.
