ASTM International’s gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help to verify the purity level of hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel producers and testing laboratories will eventually be the primary users of the proposed standard ( WK89809 ). The test method will cover how gas chromatography and pulse discharge helium ionization detector (GC/PDHID) can be used to…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11806 ###

, A new ASTM International standard developed by the gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) provides a test method for the measurement of siloxanes and trimethylsilanol (TMSOL) in gaseous fuels. The standard ( D8455 ) addresses siloxanes and TMSOL as they are known to build up and cause various issues with fuels and gas-powered systems. This includes gas grids and elements of generating electricity such…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11536 ###, ,

ASTM International’s gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help determine the presence of arsine in hydrocarbon gaseous fuels including renewable natural gas (RNG). Arsine is a toxic gas that is detrimental to fuel quality and can adversely impact public health if it is released into the atmosphere. According to ASTM International member Kevin Thind, the…

A new ASTM International practice provides necessary steps when writing new or revising existing standards that use saturated calomel electrode (SCE) for determining electrode potentials. ASTM’s corrosion of metals committee ( G01 ) developed the standard, soon to be published as G220. “This standard provides useful information for those writing new or revising existing standards where electrode…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Krista Robbins, tel +1.610.832.9689; krobbins@astm.org Release #11138 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help determine how suitable a gaseous fuel is for use in internal combustion engines in both mobile and stationary applications. ASTM’s committee on gaseous fuels ( D03 ) published the new standard, which will soon be published as D8221. The new standard will be used to determine the calculated methane number (MNc) of gaseous fuels to be used in internal…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #10649

A new ASTM International guide will help the petroleum, chemical, and water industries better monitor corrosion of equipment. The new standard (soon to be published as G217, Guide for Corrosion Monitoring for Field Structures and Plant Equipment and for Electrochemical Studies with Coupled Multielectrode Methods) was developed by ASTM’s committee on corrosion of metals ( G01 ). The standard…, ASTM Committee G01 on Corrosion of Metals Next Meeting:, May 9-11, 2017, May Committee Week, Toronto, Canada, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Lietai Yang, Corr Instruments, Elk Grove, Calif., tel +1.210.748.4073; lyang@coorinstruments.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Krista Robbins, tel +1.610.832.9689; krobbins@astm.org Release #10207

ASTM International will hold an organizational meeting to potentially create a new technical committee that develops voluntary consensus standards for the recycled vulcanized rubber industry. This includes both rubber and carbon black and has many practical applications including use in plastics, strengthening concrete, and infill for playgrounds. This, online meeting, is Wednesday, October 5 2016, at 10:00am EDT. Industry stakeholders and other parties interested in charting a path towards standardization for this industry are welcome to attend. Consensus standards could set a bar for this growing industry resulting in high-quality practices and products used worldwide. The objectives of the meeting are to: • bring a range of industry experts together…, ASTM Recycled Vulcanized Rubber Meeting:, Wednesday, 5 October 2016 at 10:00am (Eastern); online (Webex) meeting, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10165

A new ASTM International standard will be used to help measure the potential for metal corrosion in aquatic environments such as piers, docks, vessels, and pipelines transporting natural gas and other flammable fluids at high pressure. The new standard (G215, Guide to Electrode Potential Measurement) will lead to a better understanding of electrode potential measurement. “The new standard should…, Committee G01 on Corrosion of Metals Next Meeting:, Nov. 13 -14, 2016, November Committee Week, Atlanta, GA., Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Sheldon Dean, Jr., tel +1.610.428.5602; sheldondean@att.net, ASTM Staff Contact:, Krista Robbins, tel +1.610.832.9689; krobbins@astm.org Release #10083
