Summary of Test Method3.1 An engine coolant is circulated for 1064 h at 190F(88C) in a flow loop consisting of a metal reservoir, anautomotive coolant pump, an automotive radiator, and connect-ing rubber hoses. Test specimens representative of enginecooling system
10、metals are mounted inside the reservoir, whichsimulates an engine cylinder block. At the end of the testperiod, the corrosion-inhibiting properties of the coolant aredetermined by measuring the mass losses of the test specimensand by visual examination of the interior surfaces of thecomponents.4. Si
11、gnificance and Use4.1 This test method, by a closer approach to engine coolingsystem conditions, provides better evaluation and selectivescreening of engine coolants than is possible from glasswaretesting (Test Method D 1384).The improvement is achieved bycontrolled circulation of the coolant, by th
12、e use of automotivecooling system components, and by a greater ratio of metalsurface area to coolant volume.4.2 Although this test method provides improved discrimi-nation, it cannot conclusively predict satisfactory corrosioninhibition and service life. If greater assurance of satisfactoryperforman
13、ce is desired, it should be obtained from full-scaleengine tests (Test Method D 2758) and from field testing inactual service (Practice D 2847).1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D15 on EngineCoolants and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D15.09 on SimulatedServ

The pressure drop between pump dischargeand reservoir inlet, measured by the pressure gages shown inFig. 2, must be maintained whe
25、n the flow measurement deviceis removed from the system. This can be done by substitutingfor the flow measurement device a variable-flow restriction,such as a valve, which can be adjusted to produce the samepressure drop as that measured across the flow measurementdevice at the specified flow rate.5

36、 specification, preparation, cleaning,and weighing of the metal test specimens to be used in this testmethod are given in detail in Test Method D 1384. However,the solid solder specimen allowed as an alternative in TestMethod D 1384 shall not be used in this test method, as it hasbeen known to bend
37、and contact an adjoining specimen.NOTE 2The procedure for the cleaning of aluminum alloy couponswas changed in 1995 to eliminate the use of chromic acid, a recognizedhealth hazard.7.2 ArrangementThe metal test specimens shall be drilledthrough the center with a1764-in. (6.8-mm) drill to accommo-date
38、 a 212-in. (65-mm) 1024 brass machine screw coveredwith a thin-walled insulating sleeve. Polytetrafluoroethylenetubing with a14-in. (6.4-mm) outside diameter and a wallthickness of164 in. (0.4 mm) is satisfactory. The standard test“bundle” shall be assembled on the insulated screw with thespecimens

Insulating spacers made from poly-tetrafluoroethylene shall be used between the screw head andthe copper specimen, between the brass and steel specimens,and between t
41、he cast aluminum specimen and a brass nut. Thenut shall be tightened firmly to ensure good electrical contactbetween the test specimens in each section of the bundle. Asshown in Fig. 3, each bundle shall be positioned on a bracketmounted on the cap of the reservoir and fastened in place withanother

Test Solution8.1 The coolant to be tested shall be a 44 % by volumeglycol-based coolant prepared with corrosive water (Note 3)togive a solution having a freezing point of 20 6 2F (29

Preparation of the sample shall be done inaccordance with Section 6 of Test Method D 1176, withFIG. 1 ReservoirD 2570 96 (2002)e13corrosive water used for dilution. Thus, any
44、 insoluble materialswill be included in the representative sample. The freezingpoint of the coolant solution may be determined by TestMethod D 1177.NOTE 3The specified corrosive water can be prepared by dissolvingthe following amounts of anhydrous sodium salts in a quantity of distilledor deionized
45、water:Sodium sulfate 148 mgSodium chloride 165 mgSodium bicarbonate 138 mgThe resulting solution should be made up to a volume of 1 L withdistilled or deionized water at 20C.If relatively large amounts of corrosive water are needed for testing, aconcentrate may be prepared by dissolving ten times th
46、e above amounts ofthe three chemicals, in distilled or deionized water, and adjusting the totalvolume to 1 L by further additions of distilled or deionized water. Whenneeded, the corrosive water concentrate is diluted to the ratio of one partby volume of concentrate to nine parts of distilled or dei
47、onized water.9. Test Conditions9.1 AssemblyThe essential arrangement of the reservoir,radiator, coolant pump, and connecting hoses is shown in Fig.2.
