7、s test method,specimens of metals typical of thosepresent in engine cooling systems are totally immersed inaerated engine coolant solutions for 336 h at 88C(190F).Thecorrosion-inhibitive properties of the test solution are evaluatedon the basis of the weight changes incurred by the specimens.Each te
8、st is run in triplicate,and the average weight change isdetermined for each metal.A single test may occasionally becompletely out of line(see 11.2).4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method will generally distinguish betweencoolants that are definitely deleterious from the corrosionstandpoint and t
