Interested parties are invited to join in the development of a proposed ASTM International standard for determining the non-volatile residue in ethanol and ethanol solutions. ASTM’s committee on bioenergy and industrial chemicals from biomass ( E48 ) is developing the proposed standard. According to ASTM International member Kari Cook, monitoring non-volatile residue content is an important…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org , Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11211 ###

A new ASTM International standard will be used to provide reference scenarios when evaluating the relative sustainability of bioproducts. ASTM’s committee on bioenergy and industry chemicals from biomass ( E48 ) developed the new standard, which fills a current need for a guide for developing reference scenarios and conditions. The new standard ( E3256 ) provides guidelines and criteria to…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11134 ###

A new ASTM International standard will help manufacturers of particulates, such as sand, gravel, and grit, to better measure their products. According to ASTM International member Paul O’Brien, engineering manager at JM Canty, the new guide explains a way to correlate different types of instruments that measure solid-particle distributions. Using the new standard will help expand the capability…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +1.610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10674

ASTM International’s committee on particle and spray characterization ( E29 ) is working on a new standard that aims to reduce uncertainty from an existing test method (bubble point test) for woven wire filter cloth. The material, also known as Dutch weave, is used for general industrial filtration including separation of solids from fluids. The bubble point test determines the pressure at the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10657

ASTM International’s bioenergy and industrial-chemicals-from-biomass committee ( E48 ) is creating a standard that will help companies that produce biofuel using – in part – kernel fiber. This fiber was approved as a “cellulosic feedstock” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2014. As such, renewable biofuel that is produced using kernel fiber as a feedstock can qualify as cellulosic…, 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 #10634

An update to a standard on woven wire filter cloth (sometimes called Dutch weave) aims to better meet the needs of the filtration industry. Members of the ASTM International committee on particle and spray characterization ( E29 ) changed the standard from a guide to a specification that notably includes material tolerances. Generally, filter cloth is made from metal or metal alloy wires which…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Molly Lynyak, tel +1.610.832.9743; mlynyak@astm.org Release #10579

ASTM International’s committee on particle and spray characterization ( E29 ) presented its top annual award – the Award of Merit – to Kenneth H. Beyer of Unique Wire Weaving Co., in Hillside, New Jersey, USA. The prestigious award, which includes the accompanying title of fellow, is ASTM’s highest recognition for individual contributions to developing standards.
