ASTM International’s soil-and-rock committee ( D18 ) is developing a standard for particle-size analysis when specifiers want both a sedimentation and sieve analysis on a soil sample. The proposed standard ( WK38106 ) will complete a suite of three standards that cover procedures previously contained in a now-withdrawn standard (D422). According to the committee, while there is no direct…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Katerina Koperna, tel +1.610.832.9728; kkoperna@astm.org Release #10529
