1、Designation:C166318Standard Test Method forMeasuring Waste Glass or Glass Ceramic Durability byVapor Hydration Test1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1663;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、 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 The vapor hydration test method can be used to studythe corrosion of a waste forms such as glasses and glassceramics2upon
3、exposure to water vapor at elevated tempera-tures.In addition,the alteration phases that form can be used asindicators of those phases that may form under repositoryconditions.These tests;which allow altering of glass at highsurface area to solution volume ratio;provide useful informa-tion regarding
4、 the alteration phases that are formed,thedisposition of radioactive and hazardous components,and thealteration kinetics under the specific test conditions.Thisinformation may be used in performance assessment(McGrailet al,2002(1)3for example).1.2 This test method must be performed in accordance wit
5、hall quality assurance requirements for acceptance of the data.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-min
