9、pump,an automotive radiator,and connect-ing rubber hoses.Test specimens representative of enginecooling system metals are mounted inside the reservoir,whichsimulates an engine cylinder block.At the end of the testperiod,the corrosion-inhibiting properties of the coolant aredetermined by measuring th
10、e mass losses of the test specimensand by visual examination of the interior surfaces of thecomponents.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method,by a closer approach to engine coolingsystem conditions,provides better evaluation and selectivescreening of engine coolants than is possible from glasswa
11、retesting(Test Method D1384).The improvement is achieved bycontrolled circulation of the coolant,by the use of automotivecooling system components,and by a greater ratio of metalsurface area to coolant volume.4.2 Althoughthistestmethodprovidesimproveddiscrimination,it cannot conclusively predict sat
