Drops of solution which fall (rom the specimens sha not be returned to the solution reservoir for respraying. 4.4 Material of construction shall be such that it will x affect the conrosiveness of the fog. 4.5 All water used for this practice shall cnaform to Tyg IV water in Spesification D 1193 (excep; that for th practice limite for chlorides and sodium may be ignored This does not appl: to ruhping tap water, All other water wi De referred to as reagent grade. S. Test Specimens 5.1 The type and number of test specimers to be used, ¢ ‘well as the criteria for the evaluation of the test results, she be defined is the specifications covering the uuaterial « product being exposed or shall be mutually agreed upo between the purchaser and the seller. we oa of Test Specimens 6.1 Specimets shal) be suitably cleaned.

Otherwise the lest specimens shall consist of steel meeting the requirements of Practice D 609 and shall be cleaned and preparcd for goating in accordance with the applicable procedure of Practice D 609, 6.5 Spociraens coated with paints or nonmetallic coatiugs shall not be cleaned or handfed excessively prior to test 6.4 Whenever it is desired to determine the development of corrosion from aa abraded area in the paint or orgenic coating, & scratch or scribed line shall be made through the coating with a sharp instrument $0 as to expose the under. lying metal before testing. The conditions of making the sefatch shall be 48 defined in Test Method D 1634, unless ‘otherwise agreed apon between the purchaser atid the seller, 6.5 Unless otherwise specified, the cut edges of plated, coated, or duplex materials and areas containing identifica: ‘on marks or in contact with the racks or supports shall be ‘Protected with a suitable coating stable under the conditions of the practice.

Position of Specimens During Exposure 7.1 The position of the specimens in the salt spray chainber during the test shall be such that the following conditions are mei: 7.1.1 Unless otherwise specified, the specimens shall be Supported or suspended between 15 and 30° ftom the vertical and preferably pavailel to the principal direction of flow of fog through the chamber, based upon the dominant surlace being tested. 7.4.2 The specimens shall not contact each other or any ‘metallic material cr any material capable of acting as a wick. 7.1.3 Bach specimen shall be so Placed as to permit free Seltling of fog on ell specimens. 7.4.4 Salt solution from one specimen shail not drip om any other specimen, Jor Sune atrfo he sonsition cating of rata ‘and suppurts are glani, rubber, plastic, or sultably coated wood.
