Purpose
This standard describes the general conditions which have to be observed in respect of exposing test specimens to water condensation in constant or variable atmospheres.
The tests are designed to elucidate the behavior of the specimens in humid ambient atmospheres, and to pinpoint any defects of the protection of the specimens against corrosion. The exposure of the specimens to these test atmospheres does not however enable any positive first-hand assertions to be made in respect of the service life expectation of the components tested under real conditions of use.
The shape and the preparation of these specimens, the duration of the test, the evaluation of the test and the assessment of the test results do not form part of the subject matter of this standard. Details relating to these aspects should be obtained from the respective special standards or should be mutually agreed if necessary.
In particular, the recommendations contained in DIN 50 905 Part 1 to Part 3 shall be observed.
