Carbonate content This lab test should be conducted in accordance with American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) Standard D3155 (1983) to measure lime content, particularly in limestone and chalks. 

Referee Methods. The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) has collected a series of standard referee methods for the analysis of magnesium and its alloys (78). These methods are accurate over a larger range of concentration than the production methods, but are time consuming ia thek apphcation. The methods are based on potentiometric titration, photometric methods, or gravimetric methods. The photometric methods are most common and are relatively straightforward. 

Approved techniques for manual and mechanical sampling are often documented for various commodities handled in commerce by industry groups. Examples are the International Standards Organization (ISO), British Standards Association (BSA), Japan Institute of Standards (JIS), American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM), and the Fertilizer Institute. Sampling standards developed for use in specified industry applications frequently include instructions for lalwra-tory work in sample preparation and analysis—steps (2) and (3) above. 

Important standard specifications for seamless and welded austenitic steel tubing are available from the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM), classifications A-213 and A-249. 

Dr. Fingas is on the editorial board of the Journal of Hazardous Materials, the Spill Science and Technology Bulletin, and the Journal of Micro-Column Separations, and has served as guest editor for several special issues of these publications. In 1999, he was appointed to the United States Academy of Sciences and is a member of an eight-person committee to review the sources, fate, and effects of oil in the sea. He is vice-chairman of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) F-20 Committee on Spill Standards, and chairman of the In-situ Oil Spill Burning Committee. 

Ref. 53 for complete details.] The American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) is a consensus group that develops standard test methods. They have published several versions of a STM for preoperative testing, and currently the E 35.15 Subcommittee on Antimicrobial and Antiviral Agents have revised a method for both preoperative prep and site access prep combined that is in the balloting process and was published in 2001.
