ASTM International to Host Symposium on Cement and Concrete in Additive Construction

The objective of the symposium is to present potential test methods for additive construction which may be standardized through ASTM’s standards development process.

W. CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., Nov. 2, 2020 - The ASTM International committees on cement (C01) and concrete and concrete aggregates (C09) are sponsoring a virtual Symposium on Standards Development for Cement and Concrete for Use in Additive Construction, December 7 - 8, 2020, to be held via WebEx.


The objective of the symposium is to present potential test methods for additive construction which may be standardized through ASTM's standards development process.

Topics for the symposium include:
• Measurements of early-age material properties (prior to initial setting),
• Measurements of hardened material properties, and
• Measurements of structural performance.

Online registration is now open. For more information or to register for the event, visit http://www.astm.org/CementDec2020Reg.

Additional technical information is available from symposium chair Scott Jones (scott.jones@nist.gov) or co-chair Eric Kreiger (Eric.L.Kreiger@usace.army.mil).

Cold air to -50°F (-46°C) from your compressed air supply — with no moving parts!

Cold air to -50°F (-46°C) from your compressed air supply - with no moving parts!

A low cost, reliable, maintenance free solution to a variety of industrial spot cooling problems. Using an ordinary supply of compressed air as a power source, vortex tubes create two streams of air, one hot and one cold, with no moving parts. Vortex tubes can produce: "¢ Temperatures from -50° to +260°F (-46° to +127°C) "¢ Flow rates from 1 to 150 SCFM (28 to 4248 SLPM) "¢ Refrigeration up to 10,200 Btu/hr. (2571 Kcal/hr.) Temperatures, flows and refrigeration are adjustable over a wide range using the control valve on the hot end exhaust. EXAIR Vortex Tubes are constructed of stainless steel. The wear resistance of stainless steel, as well as its resistance to corrosion and oxidation, assures that EXAIR Vortex Tubes will provide years of reliable, maintenance-free operation. https://exair.co/184_530
