ASTM International’s committee on refractories ( C08 ) is seeking volunteers to help develop a standard for measuring the heat of hydration when installing refractory castables, used to create linings for furnaces and kilns. According to ASTM International member Maurice Cook, the type of test described in the proposed standard ( WK54504 ) was used back in the 1960s but was never officially…, 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 #10479

A new ASTM International specification will help standardize production and use of bimetallic “busbar” (copper-clad aluminum flat-strip and flat-wire that distributes high-current power). A copper-clad aluminum electrical conductor is a cost-effective alternative to pure copper or aluminum conductors. “The need for this standard is global.” said Dustin Fox, the chairman of the committee on…, Committee on Electrical Conductors (B01) Next Meeting:, Oct. 11-12, New Orleans, La., Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Liang Yuncheng, Yantai Fisend Bimetal Co., Yantai City, Shangdong Province, China, tel +86.186.605.51330; brianlrc@fisend.com, Staff Contact:, Kristy Straiton, tel +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org R elease #10320

A new standard will help test technology that is used in many electronic devices. According to ASTM members Lin Tingyu (National Center for Advanced Packaging) and Hi Jinjiang (Grikin Advanced Materials Co. Ltd.), the new standard will provide a baseline of quality, reliability, and process for manufacturers of “sputtering targets,” which are often used for thin-film deposition, etching, and…, ASTM Committee F01 on Electronics Next Meeting:, January 31, 2017, January Committee Week, Norfolk, Va., Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Technical Contact:, Lin Tingyu, National Center for Advanced Packaging, Wuxi, Jiangsu province, China, tel +1.535.805.3318; tingyulin@ncp-cn.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #10163

Overhead conductors used to transmit electricity typically consist of stranded aluminum wires that surround a stranded steel wire core. However, a more recently developed conductor consists of composite materials of carbon and glass fibers that replace the stranded steel-supporting member. This new type of conductor will be covered in a new ASTM International standard, ASTM B987 , Specification…, ASTM Committee B01 Next Meeting:, April 29, 2015, April Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, Eric Bosze, Ph.D., CTC Global, Irvine, Calif., Phone: +1.949.381.7262; ebosze@ctcglobal.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Kristy Straiton, Phone: +1.610.832.9640; kstraiton@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: +1.610.832.9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9694
