ASTM International’s catalysts committee ( D32 ) has approved a new standard that describes a practice for analyzing particle size and shape of catalyst materials. The new practice will soon to be published soon under designation D8392. According to ASTM International member Paul O’Brien, the standard fills a need for guidance on use of dynamic flow imaging instrumentation to calibrate and verify…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9745; kpaul@astm.org Release #11535 ###

A new ASTM International standard seeks to coordinate terminology relating to microphysiological systems. The standard, soon to be published as F3570, was developed by ASTM’s committee on medical and surgical materials and devices ( F04 ). Microphysiological system (MPS) models simulate the physiologic activities of organs and organ systems at the microscale, and use of this technology can ease…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kate Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11484 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to sacroiliac joint fusion devices. The standard ( F3574 ) was developed by the committee on medical and surgical materials and devices ( F04 ). According to ASTM International member Nathan Wright, prior to this standard, sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion devices have not had standardized test methods. “Sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kathleen Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11477
