Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the corro-sivity of water by evaluating pitting and by measuring th

3、eweight loss of metal specimens. Pitting is a form of localizedcorrosion: weight loss is a measure of the average corrosionrate. The rate of corrosion of a metal immersed in water is afunction of the tendency for the metal to corrode and is also afunction of the tendency for water and the materials

4、it containsto promote (or inhibit) corrosion.1.2 The test method employs flat, rectangular-shaped metalcoupons which are mounted on pipe plugs and exposed to thewater flowing in metal piping in municipal, building, andindustrial water systems using a side stream corrosion speci-men rack.1.3 The valu

Significance and Use4.1 Since the two tendencies are inseparable for a metal tocorrode and for water and the materials it contains to promoteor inhibit corrosion, the corrosiveness of a material or thec

9、orrosivity of water must be determined in relative, rather thanabsolute, terms. The tendency for a material to corrode isnormally determined by measuring its rate of corrosion andcomparing it with the corrosion rates of other materials in thesame water environment. Conversely, the relative corrosivi

10、tyof water may be determined by comparing the corrosion rate ofa material in the water with the corrosion rates of the samematerial in other waters. Such tests are useful, for example, forevaluating the effects of corrosion inhibitors on the corrosivityof water. Although this test methods is intende

11、d to determinethe corrosivity of water, it is equally useful for determiningcorrosiveness and corrosion rate of materials. Examples ofsystems in which this method may be used include but are notlimited to open recirculating cooling water and closed chilledand hydronic heating systems.5. Composition

12、of Specimens5.1 The specimens shall be similar in composition to thepiping in the system in which the corrosion test is being made.6. Effect of Cold Working on Corrosion6.1 Cold working can be important in causing localizedcorrosion; however, plastic deformation can be minimized inspecimen preparati

Types of Corrosion7.1 General CorrosionCharacterized by uniform attack ofthe metal over the entire surface.7.2 PittingA form of localized corrosion, the depth,number, size, shape, and distribution of pits b

17、eing pertinentcharacteristics. It may be evaluated by counting the number, bynoting the size, shape, and distribution, and by measuring thedepth of pits in representative areas. Both sides of the couponsmust be examined.7.2.1 A system may be devised for grading pitting (2).7.3 Crevice CorrosionA per

18、tinent factor to consider incorrosion testing, since active corrosion sites may develop insuch locations. Crevices may exist at threads and joints andunder deposits, as well as in corrosion specimens. In thismethod, crevice corrosion may be in evidence where thespecimen is fastened to the holder and

19、 at coupon markings.Providing a large specimen surface area relative to the crevicearea reduces this influence on the overall corrosion results.Light sanding is necessary to remove edges of coupon mark-ing.7.4 Edge CorrosionThe increased corrosion that occurs atedges of corrosion specimens, where th

20、e metal may be ofdifferent composition or structure, must be given attention. Inthis method, specimens of a high ratio of surface area to edgearea reduce this effect. If an abnormally high degree of edgecorrosion is observed, the effect may be evaluated by measure-ment of the specimen dimensions pre

21、vious to and followingexposure. Use of a specimen of less thickness may also reducethe edge effect in weight loss.7.5 Impingement Attack (Erosion-Corrosion)associatedwith turbulent and high-velocity flow, particularly when softmetals and copper are involved, is characterized by continuousbroader-typ

22、e pits and bright metal from which protective filmshave been scoured away. Some under-cutting also may bepresent.8. Water-Formed Deposits8.1 Water-formed deposits observed on the specimens maybe analyzed by the methods listed in Practices D2331. Themost common constituents will be calcium, magnesium

23、,aluminum, zinc, copper, iron, carbonate, phosphate, sulfate,chloride, and silica.9. Summary of Test Method9.1 Carefully prepared, weighed metal coupons are installedin contact with flowing water for a measured length of time.After removal from the system, these coupons are examined,cleaned, and rew

24、eighed. The corrosivity and fouling character-istics of the water are determined from the difference in weight,the depth and distribution of pits, and the weight and charac-teristics of the foreign matter on the coupons.10. Interferences10.1 Deviation in metal composition or surface preparationof th

25、e coupons may influence the precision of the results.10.2 The presence of different metals in close proximity tothe coupon, (within 76 mm (3 in.), even if they are insulatedfrom the coupon, constitutes a source of error in the results.10.3 Deviations in the velocity and direction of flow past thecou

26、pons may influence the precision of the results.10.4 Results are directly comparable only for the watertemperature to which the coupon is exposed.10.5 Crevices, deposits, or biological growths may affectlocal corrosivity; results should therefore be interpreted withcaution.11. Apparatus11.1 Coupon S

27、pecimensPrepare coupons in accordancewith Section 13.11.2 Insulating Washer, Screw, and NutUse for attachingthe coupon to the mounting rod. The insulating washer has asleeve that fits into the coupon hole and around the screw.NOTE 1The insulating washer may be eliminated if a non-metal screwand nut

28、are used. Screws and nuts of nylon or TFE fluorocarbon have beenfound satisfactory for this purpose.11.3 Specimen Mounting PlugUse a 152-mm (6-in.)length of 9.5-mm (0.375-in.) outside diameter PVC, CPVC, orTFE fluorocarbon rod, or equivalent, attached at one end to adrilled PVC, CPVC, or malleable i

29、ron pipe plug, and having aflat surface and a hole at the other end suitable for attachmentof the test specimen. The pipe plug shall have a saw slot orother suitable witness mark to indicate the orientation of thetest specimen when it is mounted in the bypass rack.11.4 Bypass Specimen Rack, as illus

30、trated in Fig. 1, forinstallation of coupon specimens. The piping, valves, andfittings of the corrosion rack shall be constructed of 2.5 cm (1in.) Schedule 40 carbon steel, stainless steel, or Schedule 80PVC or CPVC pipe. If necessary, the rack can be constructedof 16.8-mm (34-in.) Schedule 40 carbo

31、n steel, stainless steel, orSchedule 80 PVC or CPVC pipe. This allows for a lower flowrate to achieve adequate velocity but leaves less clearancearound the coupon and may trap more debris. If a 16.8-mm(34-in.) rack is used, a strainer should be installed ahead of therack to prevent debris from enter

32、ing the rack.11.5 Dial Depth GageA gage with a knife-edge base,pointed probe, and dial indicator for measurement of pit depth.11.6 Emery Paper, Number 0.12. Materials12.1 Vapor Phase Inhibitor PaperEnvelopes constructedof vapor phase inhibitor paper are commercially available.Vapor phase inhibitor p

33、aper for wrapping coupons is alsocommercially available.D2688 15213. Coupon Preparation13.1 In this procedure, coupons are to be made principallyfrom sheet metal; however, in a few cases, as with cast iron orcast bronze, it may be necessary to prepare coupons fromcastings.13.2 Use a coupon size of 1

34、3 by 76 by 1.6 mm (0.5 by 3.0by 0.0625 in.) for all sheet metals; and a 13 by 76 by 3 mm (0.5by 3.0 by 0.125 in.) for cast metals. Other sizes are suitable,providing the total area is about 259 mm2(4 in.2), the principalrequirement being to keep the flat area large compared to theedge area.13.3 Shee

40、ouponsDegrease and clean corro-sion in specimens in accordance with Practice .14. Procedure14.1 Weigh the clean, dry specimens on an analyticalbalance to the nearest 0.0001 g.14.2 After weighing, store the specimens in a desiccatoruntil ready for use. If storing in a desiccator is inconvenient orimp

41、ractical, use an alternative method for providing acorrosion-free atmosphere.14.3 Store coupons in separate envelopes made from vaporphase inhibitor-impregnated paper or in envelopes andwrapped in vapor-phase inhibitor-impregnated paper.14.4 Attach the coupon to the mounting rod, using a plasticscre

42、w and nut or using an insulating washer to preclude anycontact of coupon with the metal screw and nut assembly. Foradded protection, attach the specimen to the holder using anon-metal screw and nut.14.5 The coupons should be placed into the corrosioncoupon rack following the galvanic series in seawa

43、ter. Thismeans that the most active (least noble) metal be first in theflow path. Other coupons follow the galvanic series. Thisprevents the more noble metal from cathodically depositing onthe more active metal or alloy.14.6 Install the holder and coupon assembly in a suitableline or in a bypass pip

44、ing arrangement as shown in Fig. 1.14.7 Adjust the rate of flow of water in the test piping to arate that gives a flow velocity that corresponds to the normalflow in those parts of the system under prime consideration.Normally, the flow velocity will be in the range from 0.4 to 1.8m (1.5 to 6 ft)/s.

45、 Check and readjust the flow as necessary tomaintain the desired rate. See Table 1.14.8 Remove specimens from the system at chosen inter-vals. Since the corrosion will be high initially and then fall toa lower, nearly constant rate, two time series should be chosen.14.8.1 Use short time intervals fo

46、r the first time series inorder to establish the rate at which passivity occurs. Removalof three or four sets of coupons at 4 to 7-day intervals isrecommended.14.8.2 Use long time intervals for the second time series inorder to establish the mean steady-state corrosion rate. Re-moval of the first co

47、upons after 1 month and the remainingcoupons at 1 to 3-month intervals is recommended.14.9 Protect the specimen if it cannot be examined, cleaned,and reweighed immediately after removal from the system.Dry between paper towels. Store the ferrous metal coupons inseparate envelopes made from vapor pha

48、se inhibitor-impregnated paper or wrap carefully in plastic film. Fornonferrous metal coupons, wrap carefully in plastic film. Theinterim period between removal of specimens and reweighingshould be kept to a minimum and in no case should it exceed1 week.14.10 Examine the specimen and record either b

49、y photo-graph or by description the appearance of the specimen, payingparticular attention to the amount and nature of any adherentdeposit. Chemical analysis of the deposit may be performed inaccordance with Practices D2331, but this step is optional.14.11 For ferrous coupons, use one of the following alter-native procedures for cleaning the coupon prior to reweighing.14.11.1 Clean the coupons as well as possible with a plasticknife. Remove oily and greasy deposits in accordance withPractice . Remove remaining loose corrosion products bybrushing with a bri
