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 announced today the Journal of Testing and Evaluation, the organization’s flagship journal, received an increased 2021 impact factor rating of 1.333, up 5.5% from the previous year. The impact factor is calculated each year by Clarivate Analytics and given to journals that appear in their database, Science Citation Index. Launched in 1973, the journal is a multi-disciplinary…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org Release #11472 ###

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 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 ASTM International standard will help the construction industry report potential exposure and related risks from installed building products in an occupied building. ASTM International’s sustainability committee (E60) developed the standard (soon to be published as E3182) to identify reporting elements related to potentially harmful substances in installed building products. This standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #10950

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

A new standard from ASTM International’s committee on quality and statistics (E11) addresses general reliability analysis in statistics. The new guide (soon to be published as E3159) develops many of the commonly reoccurring reliability metrics and related topics found in many industrial quarters and specifies methods for use in reliability calculations. ASTM International member Stephen Luko,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728 kkoperna@astm.org Release #10573
