WARNING. Attention is drawn to the hazardous involved in using dichloromethane (for details, see MS ISO

Fo ce

a)
No attack means that there is no swelling , no scuffing ,no dissolution of pipe , no powdery precipitation in solvent
and no bubble formation on surface of pipe after completion of test ( bubbles formed during immersion in solution is
acceptable).
Li

b)
This test is not really suitable for factory production control. In case of dispute the resistance to dichloromethane
shall be used.
