A newly approved standard from ASTM International’s recovered carbon black committee ( D36 ) provides a test that will help to differentiate products and provide a quality control tool for producers and users. Recovered carbon black (rCB) is a recycled product made from end-of-life tires. The new standard (soon to be published as D8474) describes a thermogravimetric (TGA) technique to determine…, 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 #11602 ###

ASTM International’s recovered carbon black (rCB) committee ( D36 ) is developing a proposed standard that will be used to differentiate between different rCB products and provide quality control tool for producers and users. According to ASTM International member Pieter ter Haar, the proposed standard ( WK81244 ) will explain how thermogravimetry (TGA), a type of thermal analysis, can be used to…

A new ASTM International standard describes a hardness test method based on measurement of indentation depth into test material. The instruments covered in the new standard, developed by ASTM’s committee on mechanical testing ( E28 ), are used by the oil and gas, transportation, and machinery and tooling industries. These instruments referenced in the standard, which will soon be published as…, 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 #11175 ###

A new ASTM International standard will allow laboratories and research institutions to estimate mechanical properties of metallic materials through a minimally destructive process known as small punch testing. ASTM’s nuclear technology and applications committee ( E10 ) developed the new standard, which will soon be published as E3205. “Small punch testing uses extremely small specimens to…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.8329726; smawn@astm.org Release #11055 ###

A new ASTM International standard will be used to test the efficiency of radiological decontamination methods. ASTM’s committee on nuclear technology and applications ( E10 ) developed the new standard ( E3190 ). ASTM International member Rick Demmer notes that the new standard will provide a difficult final exam for new decontamination efforts so they can be evaluated in an independent method…

ASTM International’s committee on recovered carbon black ( D36 ), formed in 2017, has approved its first standard. The new standard ( D8178 ) defines important terms in the recovered carbon black (rCB) industry. ASTM International member Bill Cole notes that recovered carbon black is a relatively new, sustainable raw material product, produced by a new and growing industry, for use in rubber,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10748

ASTM International members from its committee on recovered carbon black (rCB) ( D36 ) are announcing and seeking input on new standards and related efforts. Several subcommittees are supporting these efforts to help the tire recycling industry. For example, a subcommittee (D36.10) recently approved a list of 22 existing standards that are already being used in the carbon black industry. The group…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10484
