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 electrical insulating liquids and gases committee ( D27 ) has approved a new standard that will cover the use of recycled oil in electrical equipment. According to ASTM member Jimmy Rasco, the new standard ( D8180 ) will serve as a basis for the transformer industry to purchase re-refined transformer liquid. “A standard for this purpose does not currently exist and there is…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #11620, ###

ASTM’s committee on electrical insulating liquids and gases ( D27 ) is developing a proposed standard for insulating fluids in distribution and power transformers. According to ASTM International member Edward Casserly, because insulating fluids can oxidize over time, the liquids are formulated with antioxidants that act as inhibitors to minimize oxidation that is detrimental to cooling…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #11438 ###

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…

In light of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and ongoing safety concerns for members and staff, ASTM International announced today that all previously scheduled in-person May standards development meetings (including independent meetings) have been canceled. Earlier this month, ASTM International announced the cancellation of all April in-person meetings . These decisions were based on several factors,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #11001 ###

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

ASTM International’s committee on particle and spray characterization ( E29 ) is working on a new standard that aims to reduce uncertainty from an existing test method (bubble point test) for woven wire filter cloth. The material, also known as Dutch weave, is used for general industrial filtration including separation of solids from fluids. The bubble point test determines the pressure at the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10657

An update to a standard on woven wire filter cloth (sometimes called Dutch weave) aims to better meet the needs of the filtration industry. Members of the ASTM International committee on particle and spray characterization ( E29 ) changed the standard from a guide to a specification that notably includes material tolerances. Generally, filter cloth is made from metal or metal alloy wires which…, 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 #10579
