ASTM International’s committee on particle and spray characterization ( E29 ) is working on a new standard that aims to reduce uncertainty from an existing test method (bubble point test) for woven wire filter cloth. The material, also known as Dutch weave, is used for general industrial filtration including separation of solids from fluids. The bubble point test determines the pressure at the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10657
