Test Method for Rust Protection by Metal Preservatives in a Humidity Cabinet
This standard specifies a test method for evaluating the rust preventative properties of metal preservatives under conditions of high humidity. Steel panels are prepared to a prescribed surface finish, dipped in the test oil, allowed to drain. They are then suspended in a special design of humidity chamber (which must meet the requirements of Military Specification JAN-H-792) where they are exposed to a temperature of 48.9C (120F) and a high (unspecified) relative humidity. This climate is maintained under constant steady state conditions. The test duration is variable.
