A suite of proposed standards will address glycol-water and non-water based coolants. ASTM International’s engine coolants committee ( D15 ) approved two glycol- based standards for Fuel Cell Electric (FCEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV). In addition, the Committee is developing two standards for non-aqueous coolants for use in EVs. The newly approved glycol-based coolant standard D8565 is for use…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand , tel +1.610.832.9551 ; awiand@astm.org Release #11850 ###

In addition, the Committee is developing two standards for non-aqueous coolants for use in EVs. The newly approved glycol-based coolant standard D8565 is for use in a FCEV where the coolant is in contact with the fuel cell stack.

ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) has approved a new test method that will be used to determine common organic additives in engine coolants. The new standard ( D8567 ) describes how high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to analyze engine coolants for azoles and organic acids, which can affect performance. According to Henry Owusu, chair of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11831 ###

ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) is developing two proposed standards that will be used to evaluate the ability of electric vehicle (EV) coolants to protect against corrosion. Coolants help regulate operating temperatures while providing protection against corrosion, freezing, and overheating. Coolants can come directly in contact with the vehicle fuel…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11702 ###

ASTM International’s nuclear fuel cycle committee ( C26 ) has developed a standard describing a new technique for measuring the forward rate of glass corrosion. The new standard (soon to be published as C1926) details the stirred-reactor coupon analysis (SRCA) method, in which monolithic glass coupons are partially masked with an inert material before undergoing corrosion in a large volume of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Steve Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11649 ###

A new ASTM International standard covering table saw safety has been developed by ASTM’s occupational health and safety committee ( E34 ). The standard, soon to be published as E3280, addresses a gap in U.S. standards, which address design safety of table saws but don’t directly address the end users. The new standard guide includes topics beyond design-related safety, including installation,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #11576 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help protect foundry workers who routinely handle molten metal. ASTM’s occupational health and safety committee ( E34 ) developed the new standard ( E3279 ). The standard includes an objective framework for recognizing heat stress and heat strain in foundries and it provides for the use of best practices to manage heat exposures to minimize heat strain. …, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #11238 ###

In light of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International announced today that all previously scheduled in-person May standards development meetings (including independent meetings) have been canceled. Earlier this month, ASTM International announced the cancellation of all April in-person meetings . These decisions were based on several factors,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #11001 ###

A new ASTM International standard will promote safety for those who work in and with companies that specialize in secure-document destruction. The new standard ( E2706 ) we created by the committee on occupational health and safety ( E34 ). Traditionally, document destruction services have been offered as an ancillary service by records storage companies and paper recyclers. But, according to…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #10551

A new test method developed by ASTM International’s nuclear fuel cycle committee ( C26 ) will help better characterize uranium materials within the nuclear fuel cycle. Specifically, the standard ( C1871 ) outlines the “double spike” test method for isotopic analysis of uranium samples by thermal ionization mass spectrometry. “Due to improved precision, the double spike method has been used in…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #10495
