A new ASTM International standard aims to enhance small aircraft safety by supporting non-essential ice detectors. The new specification ( F3310 ) was developed by ASTM International’s committee on general aviation aircraft ( F44 ). According to ASTM International member Dennis Regnier, CAV Ice Protection, such devices can help notify a pilot when the plane encounters icing conditions. “…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Joe Koury, tel +1.610.832.9804; jkoury@astm.org Release #10549

A new ASTM International practice could help people who study and manage waste from mined ores as well as waste rock and metallurgical process waste. The standardized practice uses a process called shake extraction in which water leaches from a dry waste sample overnight. The resulting solution can then be separated and analyzed for characteristics such as pH level, alkalinity, acidity, anions,…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #10474
