ASTM F1104-87(1998)

Standard Test Method for Preparing Aircraft Cleaning Compounds, Liquid Type, Water Base, for Storage Stability Testing

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the stability in storage, of liquid, water-base chemical cleaning compounds, used to clean the exterior surfaces of aircraft.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.

3.1 Storage stability is determined by evaluation of the
6.1 Storage Environment—Place the sample container in a
effect of time, temperature, and environmental conditions on
storage area where a temperature of 50 to 91°F (10 to 33°C) is
the cleaning compound. Samples used for testing are filled
maintained at least 80 % of the total storage test time. Do not
containers taken from the manufacturer’s controlled production
subject the storage test sample to temperature over 150°F

(66°C) or under 10°F (−12°C) during the entire test. Maintain
normal use. The sample container shall be subjected to the

specified storage environment for a period of 12 months. The
