12、ficance and Use4.1 These test methods provide a standardized procedure tomeasure the effect of immersion in specified fluids underdefinite conditions of time and temperature.The results ofthese test methods are not intended to give any direct correla-tion with service conditions in view of the wide
13、variations intemperature and special uses encountered in gasket applica-tions.The specific test fluids and test conditions outlined wereselected as typical for purposes of comparing different mate-rials and can be used as a routine test when agreed uponbetween the purchaser and the manufacturer.1The
