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 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 ###

Particle size distribution is an important factor in the manufacture of many products, from cement to perfume. A proposed ASTM International standard ( WK45240 ) will set out a general approach to the particle size distribution measurement of powders, suspensions, or slurries using an appropriate wet or dry methodology by the laser diffraction technique. ASTM’s committee on particle and spray…

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 ###
