ASTM International’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) has developed a new test method for moisture in insulating glass. The test method introduced in this standard, currently known as WK83631 , will measure moisture ingress into insulating glass, and allow for predicting window lifetimes. Insulated glass is often used in residential and industrial locations to maintain heat and humidity…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11582 ###

ASTM International’s stormwater control measures committee ( E64 ) has developed a new standard on characteristics of sediments used in laboratory performance testing of stormwater treatment devices. The new standard, soon to be published as E3317, describes the minerology, specific gravity, and particle size distributions (PSDs) of silica-based sediments used in the testing of these devices.…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11574 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to the trash capture performance of stormwater control measures. The standard ( E3332 ) was developed by ASTM’s committee on stormwater control measures ( E64 ). According to ASTM International member Greg Williams, this is the second standard developed by the committee, and is a big step towards establishing goals and…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11470 ###

A new ASTM International standard will describe in detail the design and specification process for water vapor transmission properties of water-resistive barriers and air barriers(WRB/AB) in building construction. ASTM’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) developed the new standard, which will soon be published as E3127. ASTM International member Danko Davidovic says that the new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Steve Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11441 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will help engineers to better understand how various climates affect water vapor transmission of water-resistive barriers and air barriers (WRB/AB) in building envelopes. ASTM’s performance of buildings committee ( E06 ) is developing the proposed standard. ASTM International member Danko Davidovic says that the proposed standard ( WK51917 ) will explain…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11213 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help architects who are designing mockup structures used to prepare for the construction of a new building. ASTM’s committee on performance of buildings ( E06 ) developed the standard, which will soon be approved as E3223. ASTM International member Eric Peterson notes that when new buildings are constructed, especially large complex buildings with intricate…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Stephen Mawn, tel +1.610.832.9726; smawn@astm.org Release #11152 ###

ASTM International’s Board of Directors has approved the formation of a new technical committee on stormwater control measures ( E64 ). The approval comes after an organizational meeting for the new committee happened in early October. The organizational meeting brought an array of stormwater industry experts together to identify specific standards needs and to determine the need for an ASTM…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Frank McConnell, tel +1.610.832.9686; fmcconnell@astm.org Release #11130 ###

A proposed standard will be used to support the periodic assessment of cavity wall facades. ASTM’s committee on the performance of buildings (E06) is developing the standard. In cavity wall facades, a grid of wall ties provides lateral restraint between the exterior veneer and the back-up wall. The proposed guide will support stability assessments of such facades. According to ASTM member Michael…
