ASTM D8485-23 PDF

Scope: 1.1 This test method covers a simple beaker-type procedure for evaluating the effects of glycol-based electric vehicle coolants on metal specimens under controlled laboratory conditions. 1.2 This test method evaluates the corrosion on test specimens of stainless steel and aluminum, with an option for a copper test specimen. 1.3 This test method evaluates coolants without the addition of any corrosive elements. 1.4 Additional types of metal test specimens may be evaluated. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.6 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. 1.7 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.
