Specifications for the principal LPG products are summarized in Table 4. Detailed specifications and test methods for LPG are pubHshed by the Gas Processor s Association (GPA) (3) and ASTM (4). The ASTM specification for special-duty propane and GPA specification for propane HD-5 apply to propane that is intended primarily for engine fuel. Because most domestic U.S. LPG is handled through copper tubing, which could fail if corroded, all products must pass the copper strip corrosion test. A test value of No. 1 represents a LPG noncorrosive to the copper. 

The Nonzero Minimum-Life Case. In many situations, no failures are observed during an initial period of time. For example, when testing engine bearings for fatigue life no failures are expected for a long initial period. Some corrosion processes also have this characteristic. In the foUowing it is assumed that the failure pattern can be reasonably weU approximated by an exponential distribution.

Materials evaluation should be based only on actual data obtained at conditions as close as possible to intended operating environments. Prediction of a material s performance is most accurate when standard corrosion testing is done in the actual service environment. Often it is extremely difficult in laboratory testing to expose a material to all of the impurities that the apparatus actually will contact. In addition, not all operating characteristics are readily simulated in laboratory testing. Nevertheless, there are standard laboratory practices that enable engineering estimates of the corrosion resistance of materials to be evaluated.

Two civil engineering operations require particular attention when soil corrosion tests in the field are required. These are (1) the use of reinforced earth structures in which the corrosion conditions will differ from those at... 

A number of standards exist for the determination of some of these parameters. BS 1377 Part 3 1990 refers to methods of tests for soils for civil engineering purposes, and Part 9 refers to these and corrosivity tests in situ. It is significant that the standard draws attention to the fact that the results of the tests that are described should be interpreted by a specialist. ASTM tests for pH and resistivity of soil used for corrosion testing are covered by G51 1977(R1984) and G57 1978 (R1984), respectively.

Blending only changed TBN and TAN by the ratio of new/used oil, while the base reserve of the new oil had no neutralizing effect on the used oil TAN value. Corrosion tests in a CLR-L-38 engine for the new/used blends of 0/100 and 25/75 showed these to be very corrosive, whereas the 50/50 blend was much more effective at reducing corrosion. The rates of corrosion do not show a linear correlation with either TAN or TBN. 

Uses a single-cylinder test engine (42.3 CID). This engine test is similar to L-38 except that fuel used is unleaded test measures bearing corrosion, sludge, oil oxidation, varnish, and viscosity change.

Figure 31.17 shows typical scanned images of SO2 salt spray-tested panels, two controls and two plasma polymer-treated panels. By visual observation, one can easily see that the corrosion performance of the plasma polymer-treated panels, [2A](Ace/0/N)/TN/E and [2A](Dox/AH)/TH/E, is far better than that of the control panels, [2A]CC/E and [2A]CC/A. Figure 31.18 shows typical scanned images of the surfaces of controls and plasma interface-engineered systems of [2A](Ace/0)/TH/E and [2A](Ace/0)/TN)/E after Prohesion salt spray corrosion testing and subsequent... 

Figure 33.7 depicts the influence of plasma pretreatment of CRS surface as well as the hydrophilicity of the plasma polymers on corrosion test results. The left half of the bar graph represents hydrophilic interface and some of top surface are also hydrophilic. The right half of the bar graph represents the water-insensitive interface and nonhydrophilic top surfaces except the plasma polymer of CH4, which was intentionally kept in air for 10 min before application of E-coat. The figure indicates two important factors, i.e., the removal of oxides from CRS/plasma polymer interface, and nonhydrophilic top surface of plasma coatings, for corrosion protection of CRS by plasma interface engineering, which involves application of cathodic E-coat. While the air exposure of plasma polymer of CH4 severely deteriorated the corrosion protection of E-coated sample, the same exposure of TMS surface showed no effect. This difference seems to reflect the reactivity of double bonds described in Chapter 7.
