ASTM International’s petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants committee ( D02 ) has revised its specification for automotive spark-ignition engine fuel (gasoline). The revision was driven by a review of multi-decade average seasonal temperatures used to develop the volatility classes for gasoline. The revision also revises wintertime 50% distillation limits based on vehicle testing.…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11812 ###

ASTM International’s petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants committee ( D02 ) has completed an extensive revision of an important standard used for establishing and maintaining a quality management system in a laboratory. According to ASTM member Susan Pride, the revised standard ( D6792 ) provides guidance for all aspects of laboratory testing, from receiving a sample to reporting…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11780 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help to control microbial contamination that can degrade turbine oils and turbine oil systems. ASTM’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels and lubricants ( D02 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as D8506. ASTM member Fred Passman notes turbine oils are nominally water-free, and microbes are only metabolically active where traces…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11686 ###

ASTM’s dimension stone committee ( C18 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to test the resistance of natural stone to long-term freeze-thaw cycles found in colder climates. “Natural stone is widely variable in composition and can include granite, sandstone, marble, and limestone, among others,” says ASTM member Frank Strickland. “This means that the resistance of natural stone…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11626 ###

ASTM International’s petroleum products, liquid fuels and lubricants committee ( D02 ) has proposed a revision to its 2019 standard, (D287), a test method affecting use of thermometers containing petroleum products. This essential update of the standard advances efforts to update the procedures, reporting, and more associated with hydrometers and digital contact thermometers. According to ASTM…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11622 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a standard test method for dry filterability of lubricants and hydraulic fluids by mass flow technique. This standard ( D8385 ), along with its companion on wet filterability ( D8277 ), were developed by ASTM’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ). Hydraulic fluid power is used in a wide range of industries including…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11545 ###,

ASTM International’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ) has recently revised its key terminology standard. The revisions to the standard ( D4175 ) provide guidance to create a more consistent format for writing appropriate definitions for terms related to the liquid fuels and lubricants industry. According to ASTM member Donna Hoel, the standard’s revisions…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #11466 ###

ASTM International’s dimension stone committee ( C18 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to test the resistance of natural stone to long-term freeze-thaw cycles. ASTM International member Frank Strickland notes that the de facto standard for testing freeze-thaw resistance for natural stone has been ASTM standard C666, which describes a pass-fail test for concrete. However, 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…

ASTM International’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ) is developing a proposed standard that will provide an overview of microbial contamination in turbine oil systems. Power generation facility managers, engineers, and operators will be the primary users of the proposed standard ( WK42670 ). According to ASTM International member Fred Passman, the proposed…
