These steel disksmay either be new or from a previous test.7.1.1 The steel disks shall consist of a chromium alloy steelin accordance with Specification A322 (E521
22、00 or G52986),heat treated to Rockwell C-62. When new, the steel disks shallbe 25.4 mm (1.00 in.) in diameter by 13 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1.0in.) thick. Prior to initial use, the steel disk shall be ground onone side to a 0.51 m (20 in.) rms. This treatment need not berepeated prior to reuse.7.1.2 Polish

Precision and Bias10.1 PrecisionIt is not practical to specify the precision ofthe procedure in this test method because the results of this testmethod are only intended to give a pass/fail rating
36、to the fluidbeing tested.10.2 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no biasbecause the value of corrosion-preventing characteristics isdefined only in terms of this test method.11.
