This standard will aid in ensuring safe levels in fuels to prevent health risks., ASTM International’s gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ) has proposed a new standard ( WK91049 ) for a method for testing metals in gaseous fuels using sorbent tubes. This proposed standard will aid in providing innovative methods for measuring metals in gaseous fuels, such as biogas and renewable natural gas (RNG). Knowing the metals concentration is important to ensure fuel safety and to monitor…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.267.258.5656; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11854 ###

A suite of proposed standards will address glycol-water and non-water based coolants. ASTM International’s engine coolants committee ( D15 ) approved two glycol- based standards for Fuel Cell Electric (FCEV) and Electric Vehicles (EV). In addition, the Committee is developing two standards for non-aqueous coolants for use in EVs. The newly approved glycol-based coolant standard D8565 is for use…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand , tel +1.610.832.9551 ; awiand@astm.org Release #11850 ###

ASTM International’s sports equipment, playing surfaces, and facilities committee ( F08 ) is working on a standard, WK81691 , for testing helmet performance during rotational loading. Helmet standards testing involves dropping a helmeted headform onto a perpendicular surface and measuring the resulting linear forces. The new standard will subject helmeted headforms to angled impacts (common in…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.969.8455; jkoury@astm.org Release #11846 ###

ASTM International’s engine coolants and related fluids committee ( D15 ) has approved a new test method that will be used to determine common organic additives in engine coolants. The new standard ( D8567 ) describes how high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to analyze engine coolants for azoles and organic acids, which can affect performance. According to Henry Owusu, chair of…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Ashley Wiand, tel +1.610.832.9551; awiand@astm.org Release #11831 ###
