CO25SS1 : Participation to ILC Test of resistance of a stainless steel to intergranular corrosion (Streicher test)

CO-SS1

Reference of the ILC

CO25SS1

References of test methods

ISO 3651-2 Met. C  ASTM A262 Practice B  ASTM G28 Practice A

       

Frequency

Each year

Main characteristics

Pass/Fail (3 different types of stainless steels, showing various resistances to intergranular corrosion). Exposure time 20 h.

       

Determination of the assigned values (“true values” for each characteristic)

By statistical computation of the totality of the results with possible selection on competence criteria (accreditation, validation by a reference body, quantity of tests performed in the year), test to detect possible collusion, merging of results not obtained in reproductibility conditions, suppression of technically unvalid results.

Type of statistical computation

For numerical results, the statistical computation will provide an assigned value with its attached uncertainty, values of standard deviations for repeatability and reproductibility, limits of alerts for bias and repeatability of the participant, indiviual values for uncertainty of results of participants.

Number of products submitted to tests

3

Number of samples per participation

2

Max number of operators per participation

1 (it is necessary to order as many participations as there are participating test operators)

Product submitted to tests

For this ILC, 3 different stainless steels with 3 different corrosion resistances are provided for testing.

Type of samples

Bars

Approximate dimensions of samples

Ø8x150 mm

Specific preparation to be performed by the participant

None (other than possible necessity to polish the test specimens or to adapt their dimensions to the equipment of the participant) (2 test pieces per supplied sample)

                   

Special notice for this ILC

The determination of the speed of corrosion is not described in the reference standard, but it helps to make the proficiency test efficient.
