1、Designation:G14002(Reapproved 2014)Standard Test Method forDetermining Atmospheric Chloride Deposition Rate by WetCandle Method1This standard is issued under the fixed designation G140;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,
2、the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers a wet candle device and its usein measuring atmospheric chloride deposition(amount ofch
3、loride salts deposited from the atmosphere on a given areaper unit time).1.2 Data on atmospheric chloride deposition can be usefulin classifying the corrosivity of a specific area,such as anatmospheric test site.Caution must be exercised,however,totake into consideration the season because airborne

7、e atmosphere exist as a suspension of liquiddroplets or solid particles.They are transported to solid surfaces bygravity,wind,or brownian motions.These transport mechanisms aredirection-sensitive so that a vertical cylinder will not necessarily receivethe same flux as a horizontal plate,or objects w
8、ith different sizes andorientations.Therefore,the use of this approach to provide an indicationof the deposition of chlorides on objects in atmospheric exposures may notbe quantitatively accurate;however,this technique has been successful inclassifying the severity of exposure in a variety of marine
9、 locations.3.2 The sites where samples are to be taken and thesampling time periods should be established.A continuousprogram of monthly or 30-day exposures is recommended forsite characterization.Seasonal monitoring may be performed ifthere are specific periods of interest.4.Apparatus4.1 Components
