The need for a consensus standard targeting the measurement of gaseous hydrocarbons and other components of gaseous streams allowing users to better comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s greenhouse gas regulation provided the impetus for the development of a proposed new ASTM International standard meeting this need. ASTM WK33788 , Test Method for Determination of Hydrocarbons and…

ASTM International Committee D03 on Gaseous Fuels invites all interested parties to participate in their standards developing activities. Proposed new standards currently being developed by subcommittees within D03 include ASTM WK24874, Test Method for the Determination of Moisture Vapor Concentration in Natural Gas and by Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy (TDLAS), and ASTM WK24875 , Practice for…, Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy, The proposed new standard, ASTM WK24874 , is being developed at the request of several gas companies that use TDLAS analyzers for the measurement of moisture in natural gas. While TDLAS has become a popular type of gas analysis, no specific standard currently exists for its use. ASTM WK24874 is under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee D03.12 on On-Line/At-Line Analysis of Gaseous Fuels. According…, Siloxanes, While biofuel from landfills and sewage digestion has been used as fuel for local gas turbine engines, it is necessary to hold the content of siloxanes within the fuel down to 50 parts per billion. Siloxanes that can coat the turbine under working conditions are converted to an abrasive silicone dioxide coating that greatly reduces the lifetime of the engine. ASTM WK24875 is currently being…

Sulfur compounds are known for their smell, but odor isn’t the only issue sulfur compounds create, at least when found in various kinds of gas. Too much sulfur in gaseous fuels, such as natural gas, petroleum gases and biogases, can be corrosive to equipment, result in regulatory issues, and can inhibit or destroy catalysts used in gas processing and utilization equipment. However, sulfur gases…

Plastic pipe and components are used with low pressure oxygen and enriched air for a variety of applications, including medical and healthcare, agriculture (fish farming), welding and fabrication, waste water treatment and others. Despite this widespread use, there are currently no standards that help in the materials selection and design features of these systems. ASTM International Committee…

ASTM International Committee G04 on Compatibility and Sensitivity of Materials in Oxygen Enriched Atmospheres originally developed the standard, G 88, Guide for Designing Systems for Oxygen Service, in 1984. Since that time, G 88 has been regarded as one of the leading design guides for oxygen systems throughout all industries that use oxygen. While the original version of the standard contained…
