Glossary of Terms and Acronyms Page 3 | 27 ASTM D8268-19 Standard Practice for Rubber Compounding Materials—Evaluation of Recycled Vulcanizate Particulate Rubber Provides references for standard test methods for composition analysis of rubber and offers a guide for methods widely applied by the recycling industry. ASTM D6270-17 Standard Practice for Use of Scrap Tires in Civil Engineering Applications Provides guidance for testing the physical properties, design considerations, construction practices, and leachate generation potential of processed or whole scrap tires in lieu of conventional civil engineering materials, such as stone, gravel, soil, sand, lightweight aggregate, or other fill material. This practice is intended for use of scrap tires including tire derived aggregate (TDA) comprised of pieces of scrap tires, TDA/soil mixtures, tire sidewalls, and whole scrap tires in civil engineering applications. This includes use of TDA and TDA/soil mixtures as lightweight embankment fill, lightweight retaining wall backfill, drainage layers for roads, landfills, and other applications, thermal insulation to limit frost penetration beneath roads, insulating backfill to limit heat loss from buildings, vibration damping layers for rail lines, and replacement for soil or rock in other fill applications. ASTM D6700-19 Standard Practice for Use of Scrap Tire Derived Fuel Provides guidance for the material recovery of scrap tires for their fuel value. The conversion of a whole scrap tire into a chipped formed for use as a fuel produces a product called tire-derived fuel (TDF). This guide explains TDF’s use when blended and combusted under normal operating conditions with originally specified fuels. Whole-tire combustion for energy recovery is not discussed herein, since whole-tire usage does not require tire processing to a defined fuel specification. This recovery guide has moved from a pioneering concept in the early 1980s to a proven and continuous use in the United States with industrial and utility applications. B Bagel Cut Cutting a tire in half along its circumference. Baling A method of volume reduction whereby tires are compressed into a bundle and banded together. Banbury An enclosed machine for mixing rubber and compounds. Barrel Stack A means of storage in which tires are stacked flat on top of each other in a vertical position.
