A proposed ASTM International standard aims to offer a new way to determine biodiesel content in diesel fuel oil. The standard ( WK55232 ) is being developed by the organization’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ). It focuses on the use of portable, rapid, mid-infrared analyzers. ASTM International member Ian Mylrea, research and development manager at Stanhope…, 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 #10754

ASTM International members are working to address an issue related to the shortage of a material – a dye – used to conduct a key test method for liquid fuels. The “test method for hydrocarbon types in liquid petroleum products by fluorescent indicator adsorption” (D1319) is a voluntary consensus standard used by refiners, labs, and others to help measure the volume-percentage of aromatic…, 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 #10751

A new ASTM International standard will help characterize the health of mammals inhabiting soil-contaminated properties, such as hazardous waste sites. The new standard (soon to be published as E3155) was developed by ASTM International's committee on environmental assessment, risk management and corrective action ( E50 ). According to ASTM International member Lawrence Tannenbaum, an ecologist…, 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 #10711

A new ASTM International standard aims to provide a framework for harvesting stored coal combustion products (CCPs) for beneficial use. CCPs are co-products produced from energy generation at coal-fired facilities. CCPs can yield physical and chemical properties that allow for their use as an ingredient in a variety of projects, including concrete, wallboard, and other construction material and…, 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 #10694

ASTM International’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ) has approved a new standard for a renewable bio-based blendstock that can be used as a diesel alternative. The standard ( D8181 ) covers specifications for microemulsion blendstock for middle distillate fuels. “This new standard is needed because there is no relevant existing standard for this type of…, 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 #10621

A new ASTM International standard will help determine which gases will ignite when put in contact with hot surfaces. The standard (soon to be released as D8211) was created by ASTM’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ). It has been discovered that flammable gases with low flame velocities have higher than expected hot surface ignition temperatures, allowing…, 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 #10604
