Standard Practice for Testing Engine Coolants in Car and Light Truck Service
1.1This practice covers an updated procedure for evaluating corrosion protection and performance of an engine coolant in passenger car, light truck service that closely imitates current vehicle and engine manufacturers' practices.
Note 1:Coolant evaluation in vehicle service may require considerable time and expense; therefore, the product should be pretested in the laboratory for general acceptability. Typical tests vary from small, closely controlled tests, to large tests where close control is not always practical. The most often referenced protocols for laboratory testing are defined in Specifications D3306, D7714, and D7715.
1.2The units quoted in this practice are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are approximate equivalents for information only.
