NACE ASTM TM 0169 G0031a:2012

Standardizes immersion corrosion testing, and provides a consensus on the technology in this field of laboratory corrosion testing. It enumerates and discusses the many factors that must be considered, controlled, and reported in order to aid in correlation or reproducibility of such tests. The techniques described permit the investigator to reproduce to a considerable extent in the laboratory, through judicious experimental design, the process conditions that govern corrosion mechanisms. The methods described are also applicable to materials qualification tests for quality control. However, the latter require more rigid definition of apparatus, conditions, and technique.
