1、Designation: D 1120 94 (Reapproved 2004)Standard Test Method forBoiling Point of Engine Coolants1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 1120; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、 A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the e
3、qui-librium boiling point of engine coolants. The equilibriumboiling point indicates the temperature at which the sample willstart to boil in a cooling system under equilibrium conditions atatmospheric pressure.NOTE 1Engine coolants may also be marketed in a ready-to-use form(prediluted). This test
4、procedure is applicable to diluted solutions as wellas to concentrates.NOTE 2The procedure for obtaining a representative test sample of acoolant solution that contains an antileak additive is found in Test MethodD 1176.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.
