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 ###,

A new ASTM International standard examines how the process of ebullition can cause the movement of contaminants at sediment sites. ASTM International member Tripp Fischer explains that ebullition is the process of gas (primarily methane) generation in sediments where the quantity of gas generated is sufficient for gas bubbles to nucleate, grow, fracture the sediment, and then escape into the…
