NACE Standard Test Methods

There is a NACE Standard test method for testing embeddable impressed current anodes. TM0294-2004. Testing of embeddable impressed current anodes... 

The NACE Standard test method for testing embeddable impressed current anodes applies to this anode. TM0294-2004. Testing of embeddable impressed current anodes for use in cathodic protection of atmospherically exposed steel-reinforced concrete. This was developed to assess the performance of the coated titanium equivalent to a 40 year life. It does not test the grout that the ribbon is embedded in.

NACE Standard Test Method for Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking in HjS Environments (TM0177) describes foiu- test methods in which specimens stressed in tension are exposed to acidified brine saturated with H2S. In Method A of this test, standard tension test specimens are used and the tensile stress is applied by either... 

For evaluation of the effect of flow velocity on corrosion in pipelines, NACE Standard Test Method of Conducting Controlled Velocity Laboratory Corrosion Tests (TM0270) can be used to evaluate several steel samples at one time, at velocities up to 8 ft/s (244 cads). 

The double-cantilever beam (DCB) specimen has been used in oil field and other applications [77] and is described in NACE Standard Test Method, Laboratoiy Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking in H2S Environments (TM0177) (Fig. 7). Thickness of DCB samples used in the oil field has often been restricted by the size of the product form under evaluation. In many applications, thicker samples are preferred as described in ASTM G168, Standard Practice for Making and Using Pre-Cracked Double-Beam Specimen.

The standard test methods should be in accordance with appropriate test methods in ASTM and NACE Standards such as NACE Standard TM-01-69 (1976 Revision). Scaling inhibitors and biological inhibitors should be tested in accordance with NACE Standard TM-03-74 and API-RP-38 accordingly. 

Corrosion standards, including test methods, in use in Europe, including national, ISO, ASTM, NACE and CEN documents up to the year 1990 are described in the conference proceedings Corrosion Standards European and International Developments , P. McIntyre and A. D. Mercer, eds. The Institute of Metals, London (1991). 

It is a liquid and corrodes steel (SAE 1020) at a rate greater than 6.35 mm (0.250 inch) per year at a test temperature of 55°C (130 F) as determined by the test method specified in NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) Standard TM-01-69 or an equivalent test method approved by the Administrator. 

Numerous test methods have been standardized. Examples of extensive collections are the NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) standards and the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards. Some of these are mentioned in Chapter 7 in connection with crevice, pitting, intergranular and stress corrosion. Further reference is made to Shreir et al. [9.2] and Heitz et al. [9.3] who present surveys of various standards (British, American, German, ISO), as well as to... 

The NACE standard was the first to be produced (1990) and has been revised since the original. Its scope states that it excludes prestressed concrete. There is a separate NACE report on cathodic protection of prestress NACE 01102 (2000). This gives valuable information on applying CP to prestressing but there has been no pressure to convert this to a standard. A list of NACE recommended practice documents, test methods and reports for all electrochemical techniques is given at the end of this chapter. 

While corrosion testing of metallic materials is the focus here, planning and design of environmental perfoirnance tests for nonmetaUic materials, such as paints, plastics, ceramics, and refractories is similar. Specific corrosion test methods have been developed by ASTM International [70-12], NACE International [73], and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) [74]. 

The type of test exchanger preferred by the author [14-lS] is one that has multiple easily removable tubes, allowing data to be collected as a function of time. This method is covered by NACE Standard TM 286 [70]. 

More recently, particularly in discussions of various NACE or ASTM working groups, one encounters the terminology of test method. By this term one generally understands the combination of test (hardware) and the apphcations of it, which includes the preparation of the solutions, the metallurgy, the preparation of the test specimen, the monitoring of what happens during the test period, and the final evaluation of the results. Many of these steps have been standardized in various standards [11-21]. 

The standard methods used include ASTM [27], ANS, NACE, and numerous other methods [26,28,29], Many important methods are not yet standardized such as the stress corrosion cracking test method [30], and autoclave testing methods [37,32] Table 3 gives a list of the more common test methods tmd the tested corrosion parameters.
