Keeping pipes properly connected is clearly an important aspect of any sewer maintenance system. A new ASTM International standard, F 2561 , Practice for Rehabilitation of a Sewer Service Lateral and Its Connection to the Main Using a One-Piece Main and Lateral Cured-in-Place Liner, has been developed that makes the process of keeping sewer pipelines connected more effective. Practice F 2561 is…

A process hazard analysis prior to the startup of a chemical processing facility is essential to prevent catastrophic incidents due to thermal runaway reactions. A proposed new ASTM standard, WK9584, Guide for Assessing Potential Hazards of Synthesis Reactions Using Reaction Calorimetry, will help to standardize how the results from reaction calorimetry experiments are used in a process hazard…

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…

A new ASTM standard developed by Committee F17 on Plastic Piping Systems will be an important step in advancing the use of high density polyethylene pipe in municipal storm sewer applications. The standard, F 2306, Specification for 12 to 60 in. (300 to 1500 mm) Annular Corrugated Profile Wall Polyethylene (PE) Pipe and Fittings for Gravity Flow Storm Sewer and Subsurface Drainage Applications,…
