Welded Carbon Steel Tubes for Energy Efficiency
A new ASTM International standard covers welded carbon steel tubes that will help to enhance the efficiency of heat transfer in industrial plants and heating vacuum and air- conditioning (HVAC) systems. ASTM International’s committee on steel, stainless steel, and related alloys (A01) developed the new standard, which will soon be published as A1120/A1120M.
ASTM International member David Kukulka notes that heat transfer enhancement methods are efficient ways to conserve energy. “Enhancement can be utilized in a variety of industrial applications, says Kukulka, director of engineering development, Rigidized Metals Corporation. “You can enhance heat transfer without the addition of external power and you are able to recover more energy in the same footprint.”
According to Kukulka, enhanced heat exchanger performance is an essential step in achieving higher energy efficiency. “Maximizing the use of energy sources is important and surface enhancement is the principal mechanism behind the development of intensified unit operations and important in minimizing carbon dioxide generation,” says Kukulka. Additional alloys will be added to the new standard as the

need develops. The committee is also planning to develop a similar proposed standard covering titanium fittings. The subcommittee has previously developed standards for textured heat transfer tubes made of copper (B1014) and stainless steel (A1098).
ASTM Committee on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants Seeks Global Updates and
International Liaison Reports ASTM International seeks to strengthen the global fuel community with insight and expertise not only to benefit the members of ASTM but also the worldwide community. The subcommittee D02.93 on International Standards and Related Activities coordinates the committee’s events for liaison and cooperation with worldwide standardization organizations for all fuels in all applications and associated products. Within the subcommittee, the global updates and international liaison reports group (D02.93.02) specifically addresses the coordination of updates from the numerous countries involved with ASTM International’s petroleum products, liquid fuels
and lubricants committee. The current reports encompass biofuels and marine fuels. The goal is to broaden the existing reports and add more that include aviation fuels, liquefied petroleum gas, gasolines, distillates, lubricants, oils, hydraulic fuels, and other hydrocarbons to just name a few. The listing of standards published by D02 will highlight the extensive reach of this ASTM committee. While membership to ASTM is always encouraged, it is not required to provide information and engage in dialogue.

Destruction of Harmful Gases
ASTM International’s air quality committee (D22) is developing a proposed standard that will aid in the removal of gases that are harmful to both people and to the environment. The proposed standard covers the proper destruction of gaseous fugitive emission by thermal oxidizer or catalyst. According to J. David Halley, chair of ASTM’s gaseous fuels committee (D03), chemical manufacturers are likely to find proposed standard (WK68843) useful. Members of both D22 and D03 are working together to develop the proposed standard. Destruction of gaseous fugitive emissions referred to as waste gases include the Toxic Release Inventories Gases (TRI), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) and include benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX). Destruction needs to comply with governmental regulations.
