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 ###

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 ###

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 ###,
