ASTM C536-83(2023) PDF

Scope: 1.1 This test method covers the detection of discontinuities in the glass coating of glassed steel equipment where such discontinuities would result in early failure due to the attack of the chemical contents of the vessel on the metal substrate. It is applicable to (1) provide a manufacturing and inspection test of glassed-steel equipment designed for relatively mild, lowtemperature corrosive service, and (2) the field testing of similar equipment used in more severely corrosive environment. NOTE 1—A manufacturing test method for the latter type of equipment is described in Test Method C537. 1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
