While machine-placed wet-cast precast concrete retaining wall units have been commercially available since the late 1990s, there has not been an ASTM standard available to cover these products. Now, ASTM International Committee C27 on Precast Concrete Products is working on such a standard. ASTM WK38192 , Specification for Wet-Cast Precast Modular Block Retaining Wall Units, is being developed by…, ASTM Committee C27 Next Meeting:, Dec. 10, 2013, December Committee Week, Jacksonville, Fla., Technical Contact:, Clint Hines, JC Hines and Associates LLC, Anderson, Ohio, Phone: 513-843-6570; clint@jchines.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joseph Hugo, Phone: 610-832-9740; jhugo@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9441

Stormwater hydrodynamic systems are used to remove settable solids that could cause contamination from stormwater runoff. A proposed new ASTM International standard will be used to specify test material with a common target particle size distribution for use in testing HDS systems. The proposed new standard, ASTM WK39909 , Specification for Surrogate Test Solids for Measuring Performance of…, ASTM Committee C27 Next Meeting:, Dec. 10-11, 2013, December Committee Week, Jacksonville, Fla., Technical Contact:, Adam A. Stevens, CONTECH Engineered Solutions, Scarborough, Maine, Phone: 207-885-9740; stevensa@contech-cpi.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Joseph Hugo, Phone: 610-832-9740; jhugo@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #9323

While there are many commercially available stormwater treatment products currently on the market, there is no universal testing standard that would allow the performance of these products to be accurately compared. A proposed new ASTM International standard will fill this need, providing a testing method for stormwater treatment products that use filtration as a primary treatment process. ASTM…

A watertight septic system ensures its integrity, and demonstrating that integrity is important because such systems have over time become more complex, expensive and critical to both system owners and to the environment. A new ASTM International standard fills a need for an in-field installation test for septic systems. The new standard, ASTM C1719 , Test Method for Installed Precast Concrete…, ASTM Committee C27 Next Meeting:, Dec. 6-7, 2011, December Committee Week, Tampa, Fla., Technical Contact:, Michael R.

Discussions concerning how easily test results for dimension stone test specimens can be influenced by improper or nonuniform preparation methods have led to the ongoing development of a proposed new ASTM International standard. The new standard, ASTM WK31179 , Practice for Selection and Preparation of Dimension Stone Test Specimens, is being developed by Subcommittee C18.08 on Selection of…

Petrography is routinely performed on dimension stone for many construction projects in which new stone is being used, and it is often required in technical specifications. In order to facilitate this process, ASTM International Committee C18 on Dimension Stone has developed a new standard, ASTM C1721 , Guide for Petrographic Examination of Dimension Stone. The new standard is under the…, ASTM Committee C18 Next Meeting:, April 21-22, April Committee Week, St. Louis, Mo., Technical Contact:, Michael Scheffler, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Inc., Northbrook, Ill., Phone: 847-272-7400; mscheffler@wje.com, ASTM Staff Contact:, Jeff Adkins, Phone: 610-832-9738; jadkins@astm.org, ASTM PR Contact:, Barbara Schindler, Phone: 610-832-9603; bschindl@astm.org Release #8432/Dec2009

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…

Two recently approved ASTM International standards provide user-friendly tests for properties of sintered metallurgy products. The new standards, developed by Subcommittee B09.04 on Bearings, are ASTM B962 , Test Methods for Density of Compacted or Sintered Power Metallurgy (PM) Products Using Archimedes’ Principle, and ASTM B963 , Test Methods for Oil Content, Oil-Impregnation Efficiency and…
