ASTM D849-05

Standard Test Method for Copper Strip Corrosion by Industrial Aromatic Hydrocarbons

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method is suitable for setting specifications, for use as an internal quality control tool, and for use in development or research work on industrial aromatic hydrocarbons and related materials. It also gives an indication of the presence of certain corrosive substances which may corrode equipment, such as acidic compounds or sulfur compounds.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the corrosiveness of industrial aromatic hydrocarbons to a copper strip.
Note 1—For a similar copper strip test applicable to other petroleum products, see Test Method D 130 and Test Method D 1838.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see Section 8.
