ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) has approved a new test method that will be used to determine common organic additives in engine coolants. The new standard ( D8567 ) describes how high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to analyze engine coolants for azoles and organic acids, which can affect performance. According to Henry Owusu, chair of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11831 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developed two proposed standards that will have direct practical applications for new-built infrastructure. Both proposed standards are relevant to alternative non-metallic materials that are applied to concrete structures for civil and infrastructure uses. “These proposed standards will help further implement non-metallic materials,…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11734 ###

ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) is developing two proposed standards that will be used to evaluate the ability of electric vehicle (EV) coolants to protect against corrosion. Coolants help regulate operating temperatures while providing protection against corrosion, freezing, and overheating. Coolants can come directly in contact with the vehicle fuel…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11702 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) has developed a new standard specification for the latest generation of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) bars. FRP bars are used as internal concrete reinforcement. According to ASTM International member Francisco De Caso, this new standard (D8505) is a milestone after several decades of collaboration to further integrate these composites…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11664 ###

ASTM International’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) has approved a new standard that will allow those in the road construction industry to extend the service life of asphalt mixtures by more accurately predicting and evaluating fatigue performance. According to ASTM member M. Emin Kutay, the new standard ( D8458 ) will be used to assess the resistance of different types of asphalt…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Asley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11610 ###

ASTM International’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help define the test methods and specimens that should be used for bolted joint related properties. Many composite structures are assembled with mechanically fastened (“bolted”) joints. Structural analysis of these attachments requires a linked set of design properties that are generated by…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Melissa Marcinowski, tel +1.610.832.9626; mmarcinowski@astm.org Release #11569 ###

ASTM International announced today the Journal of Testing and Evaluation, the organization’s flagship journal, received an increased 2021 impact factor rating of 1.333, up 5.5% from the previous year. The impact factor is calculated each year by Clarivate Analytics and given to journals that appear in their database, Science Citation Index. Launched in 1973, the journal is a multi-disciplinary…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #11472 ###

A new standard developed by ASTM International’s road and paving materials committee ( D04 ) provides guidance on both blast and steel furnace slag product classification. ASTM defines iron and steel slags as the nonmetallic products of the manufacturing of iron and steel. They can be considered products based on the mineralogy of samples that are tested using this standard as a guide. “The…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11129 ###
