1、Designation: G 140 02Standard Test Method forDetermining Atmospheric Chloride Deposition Rate by WetCandle Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G 140; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o
2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a wet candle device and itsuse in measuring atmospheric chloride deposition (amount ofch
3、loride salts deposited from the atmosphere on a given areaper unit time).1.2 Data on atmospheric chloride deposition can be usefulin classifying the corrosivity of a specific area, such as anatmospheric test site. Caution must be exercised, however, totake into consideration the season because airbo
4、rne chloridesvary widely between seasons.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory
5、 limitations prior to use.2.

6、 Aggressivity ofAtmospheresMethods of Measurement of PollutionData43. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is capable of generating quantitativevalues of atmospheric chloride deposition specifying milli-grams of chloride ions per square metre per day (or other unitsderived from such values).NOTE
7、 1Chlorides in the atmosphere exist as a suspension of liquiddroplets or solid particles. They are transported to solid surfaces bygravity, wind, or brownian motions. These transport mechanisms aredirection-sensitive so that a vertical cylinder will not necessarily receivethe same flux as a horizont
8、al plate, or objects with different sizes andorientations. Therefore, the use of this approach to provide an indicationof the deposition of chlorides on objects in atmospheric exposures may notbe quantitatively accurate; however, this technique has been successful inclassifying the severity of expos
9、ure in a variety of marine locations.3.2 The sites where samples are to be taken and thesampling time periods should be established. A continuousprogram of monthly or 30-day exposures is recommended forsite characterization. Seasonal monitoring may be performed ifthere are specific periods of intere

Other size flasks may be used, but dimensionsin Fig. 1 will have to be adjusted accordingly.NOTE 2Polypropylene flasks are recomm

The apparatus shall be mounted sothat the arms supporting the rain cover do not shield the gauzefrom a known source of chloride.4.3 Assembly of
17、 the Wet Candle Apparatus (see Fig. 1):4.3.1 The rubber stopper must be modified.4.3.1.1 In the center, bore a hole 15 mm in diameter throughthe stopper.4.3.1.2 On opposite sides of the conical surface of thestopper, cut or grind a channel or flat, from top to bottom,sufficiently wide (;25 mm) for t
18、he gauze to pass freelybetween the stopper and the neck of the flask when the stopperis installed tightly in the flask (see Fig. 1).4.3.2 Insert the test tube upward through the hole in therubber stopper so that the lip of the tube is at the bottom of thesmall end of the stopper.4.3.2.1 The flask an
19、d tube/stopper assembly should berinsed with Type IV reagent water to remove any contaminants.4.3.3 Cover bare hands with gloves (PVC or other plastic(see Note 4). With freshly opened bandage gauze (50 mmwide), start with a wick 150 mm in length, pass through onechannel in the stopper and tightly wr
20、ap all the exposed area ofthe tube. Using overlapping turns, move up the tube coveringthe top, then back down the tube to the stopper, pass the gauzethrough the other channel in the stopper, leaving anothersection of the gauze approximately equal in length to the first(150 mm).NOTE 5The total area o
21、f exposed gauze will be approximately 0.01m2.4.3.4 Rinse gauze with Type IV reagent water and fill theflask with 350 mL of Type IV reagent water (see 4.1.5).4.3.5 Insert wick ends of gauze into flask and press stopper/tube assembly firmly into flask.4.3.6 Care while handling and transporting candles

It is good practice to cover the assembled candle,either before or after filling the flask, with a protective shield toprevent accidental contamination during storage and transport,and also following retrieval for analys

Procedure5.1 Exposure of Wet Candle:5.1.1 Place a wetted candle in the support stand. Removethe protective shield, and
24、 if not previously filled, handling thetube and stopper by the protective shield, remove the stopperand wick from the flask sufficiently to add 350 mL of Type IVNOTE 1Dimensions are in millimetres (mm).FIG. 1 Wet Candle Chloride ApparatusG 1402reagent water. Replace the stopper. Record the exposure
25、timeand date, and any other pertinent conditions of the exposure.5.1.2 A predetermined exposure period shall have beenestablished (see 3.2). The exposure period may require that thewater be replenished due to evaporation. If to be exposed tofreezing conditions, see instructions in Section 4.NOTE 6Th
26、e collection efficiency of a frozen wick will not be the sameas a wet wick. Therefore, measurements will be invalid even if the flaskdoes not break.5.2 Removal of Wet Candle:5.2.1 Remove complete candle assembly for analysis. Be-fore or immediately after removal, identify the candle with itslocation
27、 and any other identifying data, as well as date and timeof removal.5.2.2 If continuous monitoring is desired, candles may beemplaced sequentially on a periodic basis (that is, monthly)with the new candle installed when the exposed one isremoved.5.2.3 Transport wet candle immediately to a laboratory
28、 orlocation equipped to conduct the chemical analysis, exercisingcaution to prevent spillage or contamination. A protectiveshield, as described in 4.3.6 is strongly recommended.5.3 Preparing Candle Assembly for Analysis:5.3.1 Reverse the procedure in 4.3.3, again using gloves,then remove (unwind) th
29、e gauze from the test tube and placeinto a 600-mL beaker. Pour the contents of the flask into thebeaker. Rinse test tube and flask with Type IV reagent waterand add to beaker. Bring contents of beaker to approximately500 mL. Cover and let stand for 24 h.NOTE 7If more than one wet candle is being eva
30、luated, properlyseparate and identify each beaker.5.3.2 Again using gloves, remove the gauze from the beakerand wring it out, letting the water drain from the gauze, andtransfer the liquid to a 500-mL flask. Bring the volume to 500mL by adding Type IV reagent water.5.4 Determination of Chloride Cont
31、ent from Wet Candle:5.4.1 The chemical procedure for determination of thechloride concentration is described in Test Method D 4458.This test method is based upon the titration of chloride withsilver nitrate.5.4.2 Alternative chloride analysis procedures include theuse of ion chromatography or the me
32、rcurimetric titrationmethod of ISO 9225.5.4.3 A blank gauze sample, the same size as stated in 4.3.3and from the same lot, should be tested for chlorides. If theblank shows no chlorides present, then no further blanks fromthat batch need be tested. It is strongly recommended that theblank testing be
33、 done before the wet candles are assembled.6. Calculation6.1 Calculate the contents of the water in accordance withTest Method D 4458 as follows:mg Cl2/L 5mL AgNO3used 2 B! 3 T 3 1000mL sample(1)where:T = titre, mgCl/mL of AgNO3, andB = indicator blank.6.2 Calculate results in terms of mg Cl/m2/day
34、using thefollowing relationship:mg Cl2/m2/day 5 mg Cl2/L2At (2)where:t = time of exposure, days, andA = exposed area of gauze, determined as follows:A 5pDD 1 1! (3)where:D = test tube diameter, m,1 = test tube length exposed, m, andA = exposed area, m2.7. Report7.1 The format for reporting data obta
35、ined by this testmethod and other pertinent information can be found inPractice G 92.NOTE 8It may be desired to report atmospheric chloride deposition asNaCl rather than chlorides. The factor for converting from chlorides toNaCl is 1.65.8. Precision and Bias8.1 PrecisionThe precision of this wet can
36、dle test methodfor measuring atmospheric chloride deposition rate is beingdetermined. In this procedure, only the repeatability can bedetermined because the conditions at any exposure site areunique in any time period.8.2 BiasThe atmospheric chloride deposition rate as mea-sured by the wet candle me
37、thod has no bias because the valueof wet candle atmospheric deposition is defined only in termsof this test method. The resulting deposition is quantitative, andthe chloride deposition found on the candle gauze does notnecessarily correlate with chloride deposition obtained on othergeometries or tec
38、hniques, nor with actual atmospheric chloridecontent.9.
