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

Mercury emissions from flue gases in coal-fired power plants are a large source of atmospheric mercury in the United States, but no standard for determination of mercury adsorption currently exists. One promising method of controlling these emissions involves the injection of powdered activated carbon into the flue gas. A proposed new ASTM International standard would evaluate the performance of…
