(If a container 10 l in volume is used, thequantities of chemicals given below shall be doubled.) The container is heated electrically and the side walls arecooled with water. A thermostat regulates the heating so as to maintain a temperature of approximately 45 °Cinside the container. During testing water is passed through a cooling coil wrapped around the container; it shallflow fast enough that its temperature at the discharge point is below 30 °C.SIST EN 12094-11:2003
EN 12094-11:2003 (E)11The combination of heating and cooling is designed to ensure that vapours will condense on the surface of thespecimen. The sulphur dioxide atmosphere is generated in the 5 l container with a solution of 20 g of sodiumthiosulphate (Na2S2O3 * 5H2O) in 500 cm3 of distilled water, to which 20 cm3 of dilute sulphuric acid is added daily.The dilute sulphuric acid comprises 128 cm3 of one molar sulphuric acid (H2SO4) dissolved in 1 l of distilled water.The test specimens shall be removed from the container after eight days; the container shall be cleaned. Then theprocedure described above is repeated for a further period of eight days.After a total of 16 days, the specimen is removed from the container and allowed to dry for seven day
