Sign
8、ificance and Use3.1 Moist air containing sulfur dioxide quickly produceseasily visible corrosion on many metals in a form resemblingthat occurring in industrial environments. It is therefore a testmedium well suited to detect pores or other sources ofweakness in protective coatings and deficiencies
9、in corrosionresistance associated with unsuitable alloy composition ortreatments.3.2 The results obtained in the test should not be regarded asa general guide to the corrosion resistance of the testedmaterials in all environments where these materials may beused. Performance of different materials i
10、n the test should onlybe taken as a general guide to the relative corrosion resistanceof these materials in moist SO2service.4. Apparatus4.1 The apparatus required for moist SO2testing consists ofa test chamber having an internal capacity of 300 L (10.6 ft3),a supply of sulfur dioxide with metering
11、device, specimensupports, provisions for heating the chamber, and necessarymeans of control. The size and detailed construction of theapparatus are optional, provided the conditions obtained meetthe requirements of this practice. Suitable apparatus which maybe used to obtain these conditions is desc

Always use a check valv
15、e, vacuum break, or otherprotective apparatus in any line or piping from cylinder to testchamber to prevent suck-back. Installation of the chamberunder a fume hood is recommended.)5. Reagents5.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is in
16、tended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.3Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use wi
17、thout lessening theaccuracy of the determination.5.2 Purity of WaterUnless otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean reagent water as definedby Type IV of Specification D 1193.5.3 A commercially available source of bottled SO2gashaving a minimum purity of 99.9 % (liquid pha
18、se) with properregulator, and means of measuring the volumes of gas requiredfor delivery into test chamber shall be provided.5.4 The volume of gas delivered into test chamber shall bemeasured by means of either a properly calibrated flowmeter(rotameter type) with metering valve, or in a gas buret us
19、ingviscous paraffin oil as the pressure controlling fluid.5.4.1 The volume to be measured may be as small as 0.2 L.Measures should be taken to avoid errors from air contained indelivery tubes between flowmeter or gas burette and testchamber.6. Sampling6.1 The specific location of samples in a mill p
20、roduct, thenumber of samples that should be tested, and other factorsconcerning sampling, are not within the scope of this practice.These factors should be mutually agreed upon between pur-chaser and supplier (see 7.1).7. Test Specimens7.1 Select the number and type of test specimens, and theirshape
21、 and dimensions according to the specification coveringthe product or material being tested or agreed upon betweenpurchaser and supplier.7.2 The total combined exposed surface area of the materialtested at any one time should be substantially the same andunless otherwise agreed upon, it shall be 0.5
22、 6 0.1 m2(5.4 ft26 1ft2).7.2.1 More specimens of the same material may be added, ifneeded.7.3 To obtain quantitative corrosion-rate data, only materi-als with similar reactivities should be included in a test run.7.4 Preparation of Test Specimens:7.4.1 Suitably clean the specimens before testing (se
23、e Prac-tice G1). Unless otherwise agreed upon the cleaning methodshall be optional depending on the nature of the surface and ofthe likelihood of contamination. The cleaning method shall notinclude the use of abrasives (other than a paste of puremagnesium oxide), corrosive solvents, corrosion-promot
24、ingmaterials or protective film formers. Care in handling isnecessary so as not to recontaminate the test specimens.7.4.2 If test specimens are cut from a larger coated article,carry out the cutting in such a way that coating damage isminimized in the area adjacent to the cut. Unless otherwisespecif
25、ied, adequately protect the cut edges by coating themwith a suitable medium, stable under the conditions of the test,such as wax or tape. High-quality platers tape or microcrystal-line wax are generally suitable.7.5 Position of Specimens During Test:7.5.1 Place the test specimens in the cabinet so t
26、hat no partof any specimen is within 20 mm (0.78 in.) of another or within100 mm (3.93) of the walls or the ceiling or within 200 mm(7.87 in.) of the surface of the water in the base of the chamber.7.5.2 Arrange the specimens so that moisture which maycondense on any of them or their supports will n
27、ot fall on otherspecimens placed at lower levels. If possible place all testspecimens on the same horizontal plane so they are exposed toequal concentrations of SO2gas.7.5.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon, the angle of inclinationof test surfaces to the vertical is optional. A near verticalorientation
28、 (0 to 10 from vertical) is suggested unless other-wise agreed upon or specified.8. Conditioning8.1 Operate a new chamber for at least ten 24-h cycleswithout introduction of any test material by the procedureapplicable to an atmosphere containing an addition of 2 L (122in.3) of sulfur dioxide before
29、 it is brought into use for testing.This should reduce any risks of contamination of the atmo-sphere by vapors from construction materials of chamber.9. Procedure9.1 Introduce 2 6 0.2 L (122 in.36 12 in.3) of distilledwater into the base of chamber.9.2 Place the test specimens in the chamber and clo
30、se thedoor/lid.9.3 Introduce the volume of sulfur dioxide, required by thegoverning materials specification, into the chamber through theinlet pipe. Usually this volume will be 0.2, 1, or 2 L (12 in.3,61 in.3, or 122 in.36 12 in.3).9.4 Switch on the heater and raise the temperature inside thechamber
31、 to 40 6 3C (104 6 5.4F) in about 1.5 h. Make surethe heating is under control to keep the temperature inside thechamber at 40 6 3C (104 6 5.4F) for the specified period.Each set point and its tolerance represents an operationalcontrol point for equilibrium conditions at a single location inthe cabi
32、net which may not necessarily represent the uniformityof conditions throughout the cabinet.9.5 One test cycle is 24 h. Either Method A or B, and thenumber of cycles shall be designated by the specification forthe material or product being tested or mutually agreed upon bythe purchaser and seller. Fo
33、r either method, replace the water in3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications , AmericanChemical Society, Washington, DC.

35、 exposed to the atmosphere in thechamber for 24 h. Replacement of the water and sulfur dioxidefor a second period of test shall be made with a minimum ofdisturbance of the test specimens.9.5.2 Method B, Alternating Exposure Expose the speci-mens for 8 h, followed by drying in the ambient conditionsi
36、nside the chamber for 16 h. Ambient conditions shall be anindoor atmosphere with no unusual pollution other than thatarising from the test chamber. Such conditions shall becontrolled to a temperature in the range of 20 to 30C (68 to86F), and a relative humidity below 75 %.9.6 Duration of TestThe num
37、ber of cycles shall be des-ignated by the specification for the material or product beingtested or mutually agreed upon by purchaser and seller.9.7 Cleaning of Tested SpecimensAt the end of the testperiod, remove the specimens from the chamber. Before theyare examined, allow them to hang freely in a
38、 normal indooratmosphere until any fluid corrosion product dries. Examinewith all corrosion product in position and any cleaning carriedout depends on the criteria laid down for evaluation of the testresult (see Practice G1).10. Evaluation of Results10.1 Different criteria for evaluation of the resu
39、lts of the testmay be applied to meet particular requirements, for example,mass change, change in appearance, alteration revealed bymicrographic examination, or change in mechanical properties.Usually the appropriate criteria will be indicated in thespecification for the material or product tested.
40、For mostroutine applications of the test, only the following need to beconsidered:10.1.1 Appearance after drying in air,10.1.2 Appearance after removing superficial corrosionproducts by washing with water and a soft bristle brush,10.1.3 The number and distribution of corrosion defects, forexample, p
