This standard addresses testing of metals subjected to tensile stresses for resistance to cracking failure in low-pH aqueous environments containing H2S. The test method covers sulfide stress cracking (room temperature, atmospheric pressure) and stress corrosion cracking (elevated temperatures and pressures). Four test methods are described.
