1、Designation: G188 05 (Reapproved 2017)Standard Specification forLeak Detector Solutions Intended for Use on Brasses andOther Copper Alloys1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G188; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case

2、 of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification is intended for purchasing agents to use in purchase orders for leak dete

3、ctionfluids (LDF). The primary purpose of the specification is to assign the responsibility for passingSpecification G186 to the manufacturers of these products. Previously the only corrosion relatedspecification for LDFs was an obsolete Military Specification that required that the LDF not exceeda

4、corrosion rate of 100 mpy in a total immersion test. The problem of stress corrosion cracking of brasshas shown up as a major cause of failures in compressed gas service of brass components resultingfrom ammonia used to adjust the pH of LDFs. This specification will give the industrial gas industrya

5、 means to prevent these failures in the future.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for leakdetector solutions suitable for use in checking the leakage ofvalves, pipes, fittings, joints, and so forth of a pressurized gassystem fabricated from brasses and other copper alloys.1.2 Thi
