Significance and Use4.1 This test method, by a closer approach to engine cooling system conditions, provides better evaluation and selectivescreening of engine coolants than is possible from glassware testing (Test Method D1384). Th
16、e improvement is achieved bycontrolled circulation of the coolant, by the use of automotive cooling system components, and by a greater ratio of metal surfacearea to coolant volume.4.2 Although this test method provides improved discrimination, it cannot conclusively predict satisfactory corrosion i
17、nhibitionand service life. If greater assurance of satisfactory performance is desired, it should be obtained from full-scale engine tests (TestMethod D2758) and from field testing in actual service (Practice D2847).4.3 Significance and interpretation of the test and its limitations are discussed fu

Th
26、e flow rate at operating temperature may be determined by aflow measurement device7 located between pump discharge and reservoir inlet, as indicated in Fig. 2. The pressure drop betweenpump discharge and reservoir inlet, measured by the pressure gages shown in Fig. 2, must be maintained when the flo
27、wmeasurement device is removed from the system. This can be done by substituting for the flow measurement device a variable-flowrestriction, such as a valve, which can be adjusted to produce the same pressure drop as that measured across the flow measurementdevice at the specified flow rate.5.6 Elec

Metal Test SpecimensNOTE 1The specimens prescribed for this test method have been accepted by automobile manufacturers and are required for Specificatio
38、ns D3306and D4985 qualification. Current production vehicles may have differing alloy. Therefore, specimens other than those designated in this test method maybe used by mutual agreement of the parties involved.7.1 The description, specification, preparation, cleaning, and weighing of the metal test
39、 specimens to be used in this test methodare given in detail in Test Method D1384. However, the solid solder specimen allowed as an alternative in Test Method D1384shall not be used in this test method, as it has been known to bend and contact an adjoining specimen. Specimens containing highlead sol

When needed,the corrosive water concentrate is diluted to the ratio of one part by volume of concentrate to nine parts of distilled or deionized water.NOTE 4The test solution concentration of 44 % by volume was selected to improve the precision of the test method. Previously, the concentrationhad been 33 % by volume. The precision of the test, both intra-laboratory and
