ASTM International Committee D15 on Engine Coolants has formed three new subcommittees: Subcommittees D15.22 on Non-Aqueous Coolants ; D15.25 on Diesel Exhaust Fluid ; and D15.30 on Industrial Heat Transfer Fluids . All interested parties are invited to join in the standards developing activities of these new subcommittees., D15.22, Non-Aqueous Coolants, While there has been an increased interest in non-aqueous coolants industry, there are no current ASTM standards in this area. D15.22 will begin to develop such standards. “The envisioned standards for non-aqueous coolants would be performance standards, rather than ingredient standards, to allow for formulations that are not currently proprietary,” says Jonathan T. Light, chief engineer, Evans…, D15.25, Diesel Exhaust Fluid, Diesel exhaust fluid, often referred to as DEF, is required by many diesel engine-powered vehicles delivered after January 2010. More recent environmental standards issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have created more stringent emissions standards for agricultural, construction and forestry equipment. DEF is used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, which allows original equipment…, D15.30, Industrial Heat Transfer Fluids, Members of D15 recognized that changes in the antifreeze industry, including new manufacturing technologies, improved inhibitor chemistries and recycling technologies, would likely be adapted to the facilities industry as a natural course of innovation. Because D15 has experience developing standards that are technically similar to the facilities heat transfer industry, it was deemed appropriate…, ASTM Committee D15 Next Meeting:, May 17-18, May Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, (D15.22) Jonathan T. Light, Evans Cooling Systems Inc., Sharon, Conn., Phone: 860-435-2418; jtlight@comcast.net ; (D15.25) Edward Eaton Sr., Amalgatech, Phoenix, Ariz., Phone: 602-252-0280; edeaton@amalgatech.com ; (D15.30) John Panasewicz, Clear Choice Antifreeze, Henderson, Colo., Phone: 303-227-9900; johnp@clearchoiceantifreeze.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joe Koury, Phone: 610-832-9804; jkoury@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8837
