ASTM International’s committee on building and environmental acoustics ( E33 ) is developing a new standard guide for estimating the accuracy of acoustic test methods through interlaboratory studies (ILS). These acoustic test methods are used to measure acoustical performance of products like doors, windows, and wall systems, to compare amongst them and to develop new products. This new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9666; kpaul@astm.org Release #11498 ###

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 ###
