ASTM International’s water committee ( D19 ) has approved a new standard that will help address global concerns about the concentration of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water supplies. According to ASTM International member William Lipps, the new standard required testing of nine complex wastewater matrices, each spiked in triplicate at three concentrations spanning the analytical range of…

ASTM International’s water committee ( D19 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help to accelerate the analysis of ammonia nitrogen in environmental samples. Ammonia nitrogen is a nutrient that can lead to oxygen-depleted and potentially toxic algae blooms that can kill fish. According to ASTM International member William Lipps, the proposed method ( WK42422 ) will eliminate the need for…

New standard practices and specifications developed by ASTM International’s plastic piping systems committee ( F17 ) establish requirements and test methods for polyamide-12 (PA12) materials, pipe, and fittings. PA12 line pipe is made using polyamide-12, a specialty type of nylon plastic with exceptional strength and durability compared to other plastics used in pressure piping systems. The new…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Robert Morgan, tel +1.610.832.9732; rmorgan@astm.org Release #11271 ###

ASTM International’s plastic piping systems committee ( F17 ) is developing a proposed standard that will cover plastic bodied mechanical fittings for use with outside diameter control polyethylene (PE) water service tube and piping. Municipal water authorities will be the primary users of this proposed standard. According to ASTM International member Alan Brock, the proposed standard will fill…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Robert Morgan, tel +1.610.832.9732; rmorgan@astm.org Release #11136 ###

ASTM International’s water committee ( D19 ) is developing a proposed standard ( WK74011 ) that would aid water treatment facilities in monitoring nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are contaminants commonly found in water and foods, including cured and grilled meats, dairy products and vegetables. Because nitrosamines have been traced to a potential increase in the risk of cancer, their…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11083 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help determine procedures for making butt fusion joints with Polyamide 12 (PA12) pipe and fitting by means of heat fusion joining. ASTM’s plastic piping systems committee ( F17 ) developed the standard, which will soon be published as F3372. According to ASTM International member Jim Mason, of Mason Materials Development LLC, “Having an industry consensus…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Robert Morgan, tel +1.610.832.9732; rmorgan@astm.org Release #11041 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard would provide the determination of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aqueous matrices. ASTM’s committee on water (D19) is developing the proposed standard (WK73235). The proposed method would be applicable for the rapid, and definitive determination of PFAS compounds in water samples ranging from clean water to highly contaminated wastewater. The proposed…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11040 ###
