3、 quantitative accel-erated laboratory evaluation of the influence of extractionsolutions containing ions leached from thermal insulation onthe aqueous corrosion of metals. The primary intent of thepractice is for use with thermal insulation and associatedmaterials that contribute to, or alternativel

4、y inhibit, the aqueouscorrosion of different types and grades of metals due to solubleions that are leached by water from within the insulation. Thequantitative evaluation criteria are Mass Loss Corrosion Rate(MLCR) determined from the weight loss due to corrosion ofexposed metal coupons after they

5、are cleaned.1.2 The insulation extraction solutions prepared for use inthe test can be altered by the addition of corrosive ions to thesolutions to simulate contamination from an external source.Ions expected to provide corrosion inhibition can be added toinvestigate their inhibitory effect.1.3 Prep

6、ared laboratory standard solutions are used asreference solutions and controls, to provide a means ofcalibration and comparison. See Fig. 1.1.4 Other liquids can be tested for their potential corrosive-ness including cooling tower water, boiler feed, and chemicalstocks. Added chemical inhibitors or

7、protective coatings ap-plied to the metal can also be evaluated using the generalguidelines of the practice.1.5 This practice cannot cover all possible field conditionsthat contribute to aqueous corrosion. The intent is to provide anaccelerated means to obtain a non-subjective numeric value forjudgi

8、ng the potential contribution to the corrosion of metalsthat can come from ions contained in thermal insulationmaterials or other experimental solutions. The calculatednumeric value is the mass loss corrosion rate. This calculationis based on general corrosion spread equally over the testduration an

Corrosion found in field situations and thisaccelerated test also involves pitting and edge effects and therate changes over time.1.6 The measurement values stated in inch-pound units areto be regarded as standard.1.7 This standard do

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Practice3.1 The practice uses controlled amounts of test solutionsdelivered drip wise onto a defined ar

17、ea of small flat coupons ofselected test metals for the purpose of producing, comparing,and measuring the corrosion that occurs on the metals due tothe exposure. Preparation of the coupons includes sanding toremove oxidation and contamination and making the surfaceuniform and reproducible.3.2 The te

18、st is conducted at elevated temperatures, greatlyaccelerating the corrosion in comparison with corrosion atroom temperature. The heat makes the solution evaporatequickly, allowing an air (oxygen) interface and making thou-sands of wet-dry-wet cycles possible in a short time.3.3 Quantitative measurem

19、ents of corrosion are determinedfrom the weight change (loss) due to the corrosion of the testedcoupons. Reference tests prepared with known concentrationsof solutions that are conducive to the corrosion of the testedmetal are compared with water solutions containing ionsextracted from insulation sa

20、mples. Calculations of MLCR inmils-per-year (MPY) made using the methods of Practice G1are reported as the quantitative measurement.4. Significance and Use4.1 Corrosion associated with insulation is an importantconcern for insulation manufacturers, specification writers,designers, contractors, and o

21、perators of the equipment. SomeNOTE 1The Fig. 1 bar graph was created using the MLCR data shown in Table 1. Standard reference tests using de-ionized water, 1 ppm, 5 ppm,and 10 ppm chloride solutions were performed on mild carbon steel coupons. The calculated MLCR test results for mild carbon steel

22、coupons wereseparated into four ranges. The rating criteria ranges were developed to accommodate the results obtained using this practice on the reference standardsand experimental insulation samples. The ranges used are: MLCR=0to15mils = range A; MLCR = 15.1 to 35 mils = range B; MLCR = 35.1 to 60m

23、ils = range C, MLCR = 60.1 and higher = range D. The bars on the graph represent the total number of occurrences within the range for each of thereference solutions.NOTE 2It is necessary for each laboratory to develop their own data, with their own individual plate or plates, metal, operators, clean

24、ing procedures,and environmental conditions to establish the ranges of MLCR calculated for the reference standards. The insulation or other test solutions are thenevaluated against the reference solution results.FIG. 1 Standard Reference TestsC1617052material specifications contain test methods (or

25、reference testmethods contained in other material specifications), for use inevaluating the insulation with regard to the corrosion of steel,copper, and aluminum. In some cases these tests are notapplicable or effective and have not been evaluated for preci-sion and bias.4.2 Aproperly selected, inst

26、alled, and maintained insulationsystem will reduce the corrosion that often occurs on anun-insulated structure. However, when the protective weather-resistant covering of an insulation system fails, the conditionsfor the aqueous environment necessary for corrosion underinsulation (CUI) often develop

27、. It is possible the insulationcontains, collects, or concentrates corrosive agents, or a com-bination thereof, often found in industrial and coastal environ-ments. If water is not present, these electrolytes cannot migrateto the metal surface. The electrochemical reaction resulting inthe aqueous co

28、rrosion of metal surfaces cannot take place inthe absence of water and electrolytes. Additional environmen-tal factors contributing to increased corrosion rates are oxygen,and elevated-temperature (near boiling point).4.3 Chlorides and other corrosive ions are common to manyenvironments. The primary

29、 corrosion preventative is to protectinsulation and metal from contamination and moisture. Insu-lation covers, jackets, and metal coating of various kinds areoften used to prevent water infiltration and contact with themetal.4.4 This procedure can be used to evaluate all types ofthermal insulation a

30、nd fireproofing materials (industrial, com-mercial, residential, cryogenic, fire-resistive, insulating ce-ment) manufactured using inorganic or organic materials.4.5 This procedure can be used with all metal types forwhich a coupon can be prepared such as mild steel, stainlesssteel, copper, or alumi

31、num.4.6 This procedure can also be applicable to insulationaccessories including jacketing, covers, adhesives, cements,and binders associated with insulation and insulation products.4.7 Heat treatment of the insulation (as recommended by themanufacturer up to the maximum potential exposure tempera-t

32、ure) can be used to simulate possible conditions of use.4.8 Adhesives can be tested by first drying followed bywater extraction or by applying a known quantity of the testadhesive to a test piece of insulation and then extracting.4.9 Insulating cements can be tested by casting a slab,drying, and ext

33、racting or by using the uncured insulatingcement powder for extraction.4.10 Reference tests prepared with various concentrationsof solutions that are conducive to the corrosion of the testedmetal serve as comparative standards. Solutions containingchloride, sodium hydroxide, various acids (sulfuric,

34、 hydrochlo-ric, nitric, and citric acid), as well as “blank” tests using onlyde-ionized water and tap water are used.4.11 Research can be done on insulation that has beenspecially formulated to inhibit corrosion in the presence ofcorrosive ions through modifications in basic composition orincorporat

35、ion of certain chemical additives. Corrosive ions canalso be added to the insulation extraction solutions to deter-mine the effectiveness of any inhibitors present.4.12 Protective surface treatments and coatings of differenttypes and thickness can be applied to the metal coupons andcompared using va

36、rious corrosive liquids.4.13 Several sets of tests are recommended because of thenumber of factors that affect corrosion. An average of the testsand the standard deviation between the test results are used onthe data. Much of the corrosion literature recommends aminimum of three specimens for every

37、test. Consult GuideG16for additional statistical methods to apply to the corrosiondata.4.14 Results from this accelerated corrosion test shall not beconsidered as an indicator of the useful life of the metalequipment. Many factors need consideration for applicabilityto specific circumstances. Refer

However,with suitable adjustments to slow the drip rate and lower thetemperature of the hot plate, there are possibilities for thedevelopment of test practices.6.2.2 It i
