This International Standard describes the test method for determining the corrosion resistance of fine ceramics in acid and alkaline solutions, such as sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. This International Standard is designed to provide an assessment of the mass changes and dimensional changes of test specimens following the corrosion test immersed in the corrosive liquids, and to assess whether corrosion has a significant effect on the subsequent strength. This test method may be used for development of materials, quality control, characterization, and design-data generation purposes. NOTE The units and numerical values given in { } in this standard are based on traditional units and are appended for information.
