ASTM International Committee D15 on Engine Coolants has formed three new subcommittees: Subcommittees D15.22 on Non-Aqueous Coolants ; D15.25 on Diesel Exhaust Fluid ; and D15.30 on Industrial Heat Transfer Fluids . All interested parties are invited to join in the standards developing activities of these new subcommittees., D15.22, Non-Aqueous Coolants, While there has been an increased interest in non-aqueous coolants industry, there are no current ASTM standards in this area. D15.22 will begin to develop such standards. “The envisioned standards for non-aqueous coolants would be performance standards, rather than ingredient standards, to allow for formulations that are not currently proprietary,” says Jonathan T. Light, chief engineer, Evans…, D15.25, Diesel Exhaust Fluid, Diesel exhaust fluid, often referred to as DEF, is required by many diesel engine-powered vehicles delivered after January 2010. More recent environmental standards issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have created more stringent emissions standards for agricultural, construction and forestry equipment. DEF is used to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, which allows original equipment…, D15.30, Industrial Heat Transfer Fluids, Members of D15 recognized that changes in the antifreeze industry, including new manufacturing technologies, improved inhibitor chemistries and recycling technologies, would likely be adapted to the facilities industry as a natural course of innovation. Because D15 has experience developing standards that are technically similar to the facilities heat transfer industry, it was deemed appropriate…, ASTM Committee D15 Next Meeting:, May 17-18, May Committee Week, Anaheim, Calif., Technical Contact:, (D15.22) Jonathan T.

ASTM International Committee F13 on Pedestrian/Walkway Safety and Footwear is currently working on a proposed new standard for footwear designed for workers who do not necessarily need safety toe shoes but could use other protection such as puncture resistance, electrical shock protection and electrical grounding. The proposed new standard, ASTM WK27855 , Specification for Performance…

A series of proposed new standards being developed by ASTM International Committee D15 on Engine Coolants would remove technical barriers that currently prevent the cost-effective replacement of ethylene glycol with more environmentally friendly glycerin in antifreeze. The proposed standards are under the jurisdiction of Subcommittee D15.93 on Research and Long Range Planning. Natural glycerin is…

ASTM International has published a new American National Standard, ASTM E2659 , Standard Practice for Certificate Programs. This standard provides much-needed guidance to certificate issuers on how to develop a quality certificate program and to consumers on how to identify such a program. In addition, the standard is designed to serve as the benchmark of quality for industry accreditation of…
