ASTM International’s particle and spray characterization committee ( E29 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to measure physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles in a variety of industrial realms. The standard ( E3427 ) describes how to use laser-amplified detection/power spectrum analysis to measure the number of physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles,…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Jennifer Tursi, tel +1.610.832.9653; jtursi@astm.org Release #11790 ###

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 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 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’s composite materials committee ( D30 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used in the inspections of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite repairs to buildings and other civil structures. There are a number of overlapping standards and codes on FRP inspections. The proposed standard ( WK74694 ) will include the applicable current industry references, standards,…

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 ASTM International standard will help determine impurities in monoethylene glycol (MEG). ASTM’s committee on aromatic, industrial, specialty, and related chemicals ( D16 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as D8311. MEG is used predominantly as a raw material in the production of polyester fibers, but it is also commonly used as a heat transfer fluid and a component in…, 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 #11024 ###

In light of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and growing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International announced today that previously scheduled April standards development meetings in Boston (March 29-April 3) and Prague (April 27-30) have been canceled. The decision was based on several factors, including, but not limited to: Continued review of information and recommendations from the U.S.…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #10993

A new test method (D8266) will help analyze impurities of a certain compound (bisphenol A) used in polycarbonate and epoxy resin, helping support the manufacturing and trade of many plastic products. Impurities in bisphenol A can slow down polymerization and result in impurities of the final product, according to Huang Yu, a junior engineer at Sinopec. She says that the test helps determine trace…

A new ASTM International standard will help manufacturers of particulates, such as sand, gravel, and grit, to better measure their products. According to ASTM International member Paul O’Brien, engineering manager at JM Canty, the new guide explains a way to correlate different types of instruments that measure solid-particle distributions. Using the new standard will help expand the capability…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +1.610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10674
