Attend ASTM Meetings Express your Views!
ASTM International standards-development meetings are attended by a diverse group of industry representatives, including manufacturers, users, distributors, testing laboratories, academicians, consultants and government personnel. ASTM staff members are also present to provide any needed support or guidance related to ASTM policy. There is no charge to attend, and all are welcome. All attendees have a voice and are encouraged to participate in discussions.
In 2020, ASTM International also announced they are providing no-cost public access to a suite of more than two dozen standards used in the production and testing of personal protective equipment to combat the coronavirus public health emergency. For more information, visit

TEST METHOD FOR GASEOUS FUELS
A new ASTM International standard developed by the gaseous fuels committee (D03) provides a test method for the measurement of siloxanes and
trimethylsilanol (TMSOL) in gaseous fuels.
The standard (D8455) addresses siloxanes and TMSOL as they are known to build up and cause various issues with fuels and gas-powered systems. This includes gas grids and elements of generating electricity such as engines, turbines, and catalysts.
According to ASTM International member Jonathan Cross, monitoring for these substances will protect gas quality and further renewable energy generation.
“Continuous analysis of siloxanes and TMSOL allows biogas producers, pipeline operators, and utilities to monitor concentrations for several applications,” says Cross. “For example, monitoring can help producers determine when siloxane removal units begin to fail, so that they can replace the scrubber material and bring concentrations back down to acceptable levels.”
DRY FILTERABILITY OF LUBRICANTS
A new ASTM International standard will provide a standard test method for dry filterability of lubricants and hydraulic fluids by mass flow technique. This standard (D8385), along with its companion on wet filterability (D8277), were developed by ASTM’s committee on petroleum products, liquid fuels, and lubricants (D02).
Hydraulic fluid power is used in a wide range of industries including transportation, construction, mining, agriculture, metals, and manufacturing. The requirements of hydraulic fluids are unique. This test method differs from existing standards because the user assesses filterability based on mass flow rates, which lends itself to automation and is less vulnerable to error.
According to ASTM International member Paul Michael, an easier path to clean fluids will make for longer-lasting hydraulics.
“Fluids with good filterability not only sustain their cleanliness longer, they enhance the sustainability of hydraulic equipment by preventing machine malfunction,” says Michael. “This standard is useful to manufacturers of hydraulic fluids and power equipment, as well as fluid users in industries like construction, agriculture, mining and manufacturing.”
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.
