ASTM International’s wear and erosion committee ( G02 ) has released a new standard that provides a test method for measuring friction and adhesive wear properties of lubricated and nonlubricated materials using the twist compression test (TCT). The new standard (soon to be published as G223) can be used to “rank combinations of surfaces in their resistance to adhesive wear. This can be useful…, Media Inquiries:, Gavin O’Reilly, tel +1.610.832.9618; goreilly@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Jennifer Tursi HER , tel +1.610.832.9653; jtursi@astm.org Release #11697 ###

A new ASTM International standard will provide a test method related to unfixed chrome concentrations in Wet Blue. The standard, soon to be published as D8451, was developed by ASTM’s committee on leather ( D31 ). According to ASTM International member Okey Abara, Wet Blue is an intermediate product used for processing natural hides. It is produced when a tanning agent chemically binds to the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, David Lee, tel +1.610.832.9681; dlee@astm.org Release #11463 ###, ,
