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 unfixed chrome concentrations in Wet Blue. The standard, soon to be published as D8451, was developed by ASTM’s committee on leather ( D31 ). According to ASTM International member Okey Abara, Wet Blue is an intermediate product used for processing natural hides. It is produced when a tanning agent chemically binds to the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11463 ###, ,

ASTM International’s committee on leather ( D31 ) is developing a proposed standard that will help to assess the effect of various soling agents on leather. The primary aim of the proposed standard ( WK74216 ) is to assess the degree of resistance and cleanability of a leather surface after it has been in contact with potential staining agents. Among the effects covered in the standard are…, Media Inquiries: , Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org , Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11097 ###
