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 ###

A newly approved standard from ASTM International’s recovered carbon black committee ( D36 ) provides a test that will help to differentiate products and provide a quality control tool for producers and users. Recovered carbon black (rCB) is a recycled product made from end-of-life tires. The new standard (soon to be published as D8474) describes a thermogravimetric (TGA) technique to determine…, 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 #11602 ###

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 ###
