The need for a consensus standard targeting the measurement of gaseous hydrocarbons and other components of gaseous streams allowing users to better comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas regulation provided the impetus for the development of a proposed new ASTM International standard meeting this need. ASTM WK33788 , Test Method for Determination of Hydrocarbons and…

Interlocking concrete pavements are extensively used in low-speed urban and rural roads throughout Europe and are seeing increased use as an alternative to asphalt and cast-in-place concrete in the United States. A proposed new ASTM International standard will address the management by city and county transportation agencies of roads made from interlocking concrete pavements. The proposed new…, ASTM Committee E17 Next Meeting:, June 5-6, 2011, State College, Pa., Technical Contact:, David R. Smith, Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute, Herndon, Va., Phone: 703-657-6900, ext. 201; dsmith@icpi.org, ASTM Staff Contact:, Daniel Smith, Phone: 610-832-9727; dsmith@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8857

Traffic monitoring is a means of counting and classifying vehicles and measuring vehicle flow characteristics, such as vehicle speed, lane occupancy, turning movements and other items typically used to portray traffic movement. In order for traffic monitoring data to be assessed properly, information on how the data were collected, edited, summarized and reported must be provided. This obligation…

A new ASTM subcommittee seeks to acknowledge the ongoing advances being made in the field of nanostructured inorganic coatings. B08.16 on Nanostructured Coatings, part of ASTM International Committee B08 on Metallic and Inorganic Coatings, is currently developing its first proposed standard, ASTM WK29468 , Specification for Galvanic Protection of Steel Using a Nanostructured Coating of 95 % Zinc…

Code words have historically been used in the electrical conductor industry as a simple method of identifying the construction details of an overhead conductor product. A proposed new ASTM standard will list code word names and provide a means to register and publish new code words. ASTM WK28737 , Specification for Electrical Overhead Conductor Code Word Names, is being developed by Subcommittee…, ASTM Committee B01 Next Meeting:, Oct. 13, October Committee Week, San Antonio, Texas, Technical Contact:, Gordon Baker, General Cable, Highland Heights, Ky., Phone: 859-572-8493; gbaker@generalcable.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Jennifer Rodgers, Phone: 610-832-9694; jrodgers@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8613

Since the appearance of the first California-type models around 1940, the profilograph has been a popular device used for quality control in the construction of pavements. Both roadway and airfield landing agencies have adopted roughness indexes computed from profilograph-derived measurements as a level of construction quality. Emerging high-speed inertial profilers can now quickly collect…

Silver-, nickel- and tin-coated flat conductors are currently used in a variety of electronic applications, including computer, and in the military and commercial aerospace industries. Despite this use, flat conductors made of these materials are not covered by established standards. ASTM International Committee B01 on Electrical Conductors is now developing the following three standards to cover…, ASTM Committee B01 Next Meeting: , April 21, 2010 , April Committee Week, St. Louis, Mo., Technical Contact:, Stephen Childers, IWG High Performance Conductors Inc., Inman, S.C., Phone: 864-472-9694; stephen.childers@iwghpc.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Jennifer Rodgers, Phone: 610-832-9694; jrodgers@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8442/Dec2009

ASTM International Committee D03 on Gaseous Fuels invites all interested parties to participate in their standards developing activities. Proposed new standards currently being developed by subcommittees within D03 include ASTM WK24874, Test Method for the Determination of Moisture Vapor Concentration in Natural Gas and by Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy (TDLAS), and ASTM WK24875 , Practice for…, Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy, The proposed new standard, ASTM WK24874 , is being developed at the request of several gas companies that use TDLAS analyzers for the measurement of moisture in natural gas. While TDLAS has become a popular type of gas analysis, no specific standard currently exists for its use. ASTM WK24874 is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee D03.12 on On-Line/At-Line Analysis of Gaseous Fuels. According…, Siloxanes, While biofuel from landfills and sewage digestion has been used as fuel for local gas turbine engines, it is necessary to hold the content of siloxanes within the fuel down to 50 parts per billion. Siloxanes that can coat the turbine under working conditions are converted to an abrasive silicone dioxide coating that greatly reduces the lifetime of the engine. ASTM WK24875 is currently being…
