A new ASTM International standard will help determine which gases will ignite when put in contact with hot surfaces. The standard (soon to be released as D8211) was created by ASTM’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ). It has been discovered that flammable gases with low flame velocities have higher than expected hot surface ignition temperatures, allowing…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #10604

ASTM International’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants ( D02 ) has approved a guide ( D8164 ) that provides criteria for selecting digital contact thermometers (DCTs) that will accurately measure temperature when performing test methods. The guide will help both manufacturers, standards developers, and users of DCTs in the petroleum industry. The criteria are based on…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Alyson Fick, tel +1.610.832.9710; afick@astm.org Release #10557

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standard ( WK38106 ) will complete a suite of three standards that cover procedures previously contained in a now-withdrawn standard (D422).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

Members of ASTM International recently revised a key test method ( D1613 ) that has been used to measure the acidity of fuel ethanol and denatured fuel ethanol, including ethanol used for car gasoline blends. By including a new “nitrogen purge” as part of the test method, a laboratory can help ensure that carbon dioxide is removed. According to ASTM International member Shon Van Hulzen, the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Karen Murphy, tel +1.610.832.9525; kmurphy@astm.org Release #10521

A new ASTM International standard uses a portable, vertical water-jet probe to measure sand detachment and to evaluate erosion related to storms. The standard describes the components and recommended testing scheme for the “in-situ erosion evaluation probe” (ISEEP), including how to monitor the rate of advancement of the jetting probe, according to Mohammed Gabr, a member of ASTM International’s…, 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 #10506

A new ASTM International standard will support major projects such as roads, bridges, and other structures by providing a modern standard for load testing of deep foundations. The new standard ( D8169/D8169M ) was developed by ASTM International’s committee on soil and rock (D18). For more than 100 years, full-scale static load testing has helped engineers who create deep foundation designs.…, 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 #10491
