ASTM International’s committee on medical and surgical materials and devices ( F04 ) is developing a proposed standard that will provide a cleaning agent formula to clean dried blood from stainless steel medical devices. According to ASTM International member Ralph Basile, the formula described in the new standard will be tested against the relevant tests in D8179, ASTM’s guide on medical device…, Media Inquiries, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kathleen Chalfin, tel +1.610.832.9717; kchalfin@astm.org Release #11131 ###

ASTM International’s soil and rock committee (D18) is developing proposed standards that cover sediment retention fiber rolls (SRFRs) and rolled erosion control products (RECPs). D18’s erosion and sediment control technology subcommittee (D18.25) is developing the proposed standards. Proposed standard WK39691 will help measure the basic physical properties of SRFRs, which are used to inhibit the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Robert Morgan, tel +1.610.8329732; rmorgan@astm.org Release #11032 ###

A proposed ASTM International standard will help calculate the kinetic energy of simulated rainfall in laboratories. ASTM’s soil and rock committee ( D18 ) is developing the proposed standard ( WK41200 ). Determining the kinetic energy of raindrops is an important factor to be considered when conducting soil erosion studies. Using data collected from determining raindrop size, the proposed…, 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 #11007 ###
