Trona, or sodium sesquicarbonate, is a fine mineral powder that has proven to be effective at removing acid gases from air emissions. While trona can be a useful component of air pollution control systems, it can be difficult to handle, particularly when moisture is present. A proposed new ASTM standard will present a repeatable, precise and accurate test method for analyzing moisture levels in…, ASTM Committee E01 Next Meeting:, Nov. 14-17, November Committee Week, San Antonio, Texas, Technical Contact: J, ames D. Phillip, Solvay Chemicals Inc, Green River, Wyo., Phone: 307-872-6519; jim.phillip@solvay.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Thomas O'Toole, Phone: 610-832-9739; totoole@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8608

Flow characteristics of fine metal powders are important in filling dies for pressing of powder metallurgy compacts, which are later sintered and sometimes machined into finished parts. The flow rate, as measured by a new ASTM standard, determines the flow necessary for a precise quantity of powder to be introduced into the die. The new standard, B964 , Test Methods for Flow Rate of Metal Powders…
