Particle size distribution is an important factor in the manufacture of many products, from cement to perfume. A proposed ASTM International standard ( WK45240 ) will set out a general approach to the particle size distribution measurement of powders, suspensions, or slurries using an appropriate wet or dry methodology by the laser diffraction technique. ASTM’s committee on particle and spray…

ASTM International’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) has approved a new standard that will help engineers find the depth of inaccessible foundations supporting existing structures. Foundation elements covered by the new standard ( D8381/D8381M ) include micropiles, driven piles, bored piles, secant or tangent pile walls, caissons, barrettes, diaphragm walls, and sheet pile walls. The standard is…

ASTM International’s air quality committee ( D22 ) is developing a proposed standard that will aid in the removal of gases that are harmful to both people and to the environment. The proposed standard covers the proper destruction of gaseous fugitive emission by thermal oxidizer or catalyst. According to J. David Halley, chair of ASTM’s gaseous fuels committee ( D03 ), chemical manufacturers are…

A new ASTM International standard ( D8408/D8408M ) will help those developing long-term monitoring plans for vapor mitigation systems that prevent intrusion of hazardous gases into buildings. Contaminated soil, groundwater, sewers, and laterals all generate hazardous gases. A vacuum or depression system below a building slab can mitigate these gases from entering the building, thus protecting…
