KEY OIL & GAS STANDARD FROM BUREAU VERITAS NOW AVAILABLE ON ASTM COMPASS®


STANDARD DS-1® FROM BUREAU VERITAS, A COMPREHENSIVE STANDARD FOR OIL AND GAS DRILLING OPERATIONS, IS NOW AVAILABLE IN SIX VOLUMES THROUGH COMPASS, ASTM’S ONLINE STANDARDS PORTAL.


Developed in 1992 to help provide industry standards for downhole drilling tools, Standard DS-1 is now on its fifth edition and remains a critical resource for drilling and completion. This knowledge will now be accessible through the robust workflow capabilities of ASTM Compass.


The six DS-1 volumes cover the following topics: • Specifications for newly manufactured tubular drilling products


• Risk-based design resources for prevention of drill string failure • Inspection of used tubular drilling and completions equipment • Specialty-tool maintenance (inspect, assembly, and testing) procedures • Inspection of drilling bits and reamer cutting structures • Aluminum drill pipe inspections


“ASTM is delighted to offer the Bureau Veritas DS-1 Standards, available on Compass,” said Stuart Radcliffe, ASTM vice president of sales and marketing. “The DS-1 content, developed for downhole drilling, will now be alongside similar related content from ASTM and those from other key industry organizations such as API. Thousands of businesses worldwide now rely on ASTM to provide instant access to the latest standards on a platform that provides unique workflow functionality. DS-1 further enhances the already comprehensive range of critical standards that ASTM is able to provide to the global energy industry.” To add Standard DS-1 to your Compass license, please reach out to sales@astm.org or call +1.877.909.2786.


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. Send your thoughts, presentations and summaries to Jean-Francois Borny, Chair of D02.93.02 at jean-francois.borny@lummustech.com.


HYDROGEN FUEL PURITY VERIFICATION COULD SEE A NEW STANDARD


A NEW ASTM INTERNATIONAL TEST METHOD WOULD COVER HOW GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND PULSE DISCHARGE HELIUM IONIZATION DETECTOR CAN BE USED TO DETECT GASES IN HYDROGEN FUEL.


ASTM International’s gaseous fuels committee (D03) is developing a proposed standard that will help to verify the purity level of hydrogen fuel. Hydrogen fuel producers and testing laboratories will eventually be the primary users of the proposed standard (WK89809). The test method will cover how gas chromatography and pulse discharge helium ionization detector (GC/PDHID) can be used to determine levels of the following (in parts per billion mole to parts per million mole) in hydrogen fuels: Hydrogen; Nitrogen; Oxygen; Methane;


Carbon monoxide; and, Carbon dioxide. “Hydrogen can be used as a zero-emission energy source, but even minuscule amounts of other gases can limit the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cells,” says ASTM International member Shannon Coleman, GC application scientist, Agilent. “Gas chromatography (GC) is a technique that can measure trace-level impurities in a wide variety of substances.”
