Summary of Test Method3.1 An engine coolant is circulated for 1064 h at 96.1C20
9、5F 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 metals are mounted inside the reservoir, whichsimulates an engine cylinder block. At the end of the testperiod, th
10、e corrosion-inhibiting properties of the coolant aredetermined by measuring the mass losses of the test specimens,and by visual examination of the interior surfaces of thecomponents.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method, by a closer approach to engine coolingsystem conditions, provides better
11、evaluation and selectivescreening of engine coolants than is possible from glasswaretesting (Test Method D7935/D7935M). The improvement isachieved by controlled circulation of the coolant, by the use ofautomotive cooling system components, and by a greater ratioof metal surface area to coolant volum
