1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the determina-tion of the resistance of stainless steels and related alloys to pitting and crevice corrosion (see Terminology G193) when exposed to oxidizing chloride environments. Six procedures are described and identified as Methods A, B, C, D, E, and F.
1.1.1 Method A—Ferric chloride pitting test.
1.1.2 Method B—Ferric chloride crevice test.
1.1.3 Method C—Critical pitting temperature test for nickel-base and chromium-bearing alloys.
