A suite of proposed standards will address glycol-water and non-water based coolants. ASTM International’s engine coolants committee ( D15 ) approved two glycol- based standards for Fuel Cell Electric (FCEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV). In addition, the Committee is developing two standards for non-aqueous coolants for use in EVs. The newly approved glycol-based coolant standard D8565 is for use…, 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 #11850 ###

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 ###

A new ASTM International standard supports the design of civil vertiports and vertistops. The standard ( F3423 ) is the result of a five-year effort by ASTM’s unmanned aircraft systems committee ( F38 ). A vertiport is a section of land, water, or structure intended for either manned or unmanned vertical takeoff and landing of aircraft, along with the associated buildings and facilities. A…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Mary Mikolajewski, tel +1.610.832.9678; mmikolajewski@astm.org Release #11524 ###
