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 ###

ASTM International’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) has developed a new standard that will aid real estate developers with preliminary karst terrain assessment. Karst is a type of terrain characterized by sinkholes, caves, sinking streams and large springs, which is a consequence of the presence of soluble bedrock such as limestone. The new standard provides a protocol for karst assessments that…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11748 ###

ASTM International’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) has developed a new test method for moisture in insulating glass. The test method introduced in this standard, currently known as WK83631 , will measure moisture ingress into insulating glass, and allow for predicting window lifetimes. Insulated glass is often used in residential and industrial locations to maintain heat and humidity…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11582 ###

ASTM International’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) is developing a proposed standard that will provide guidance on analyzing soil for nutrients using hyperspectral sensors. Such sensors are used to collect and process information via the electromagnetic spectrum. ASTM member Penelope Nagel says that agronomists, farmers, agronomic service providers, laboratories and fertilizer companies will…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11550 ###

, 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 ###, ,

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to quantifying volatile organic compounds through mass spectrometry. The standard ( D8460 ) was developed by ASTM’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ). The standard defines a practical way to perform quantitative analyses with a continuous point-source monitor. According to Chairman of ASTM D18.21.02 Lorne Everett, this standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11487 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help road construction professionals to better determine on-site water content in soil and rock. ASTM’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as D8153. According to ASTM member Dan Pratt, construction crews will use the new standard to determine the mass of water contained per unit volume of in situ construction…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11467, ###

A new ASTM International standard will describe in detail the design and specification process for water vapor transmission properties of water-resistive barriers and air barriers(WRB/AB) in building construction. ASTM’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) developed the new standard, which will soon be published as E3127. ASTM International member Danko Davidovic says that the new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Steve Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11441 ###

ASTM International’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) has approved a new standard that will help design engineers and regulators when using rockfall mitigation nettings on construction projects. Geohazard nettings are often used in mountainous regions to prevent falling rocks from penetrating into the roadways. ASTM International member Mike Koutsourais, PE, geohazard mitigations business unit…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #11437 ###

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…
