1.1 This test method covers the detection of discontinuities in the glass coating of glassed steel equipment where such discontinuities would result in early failure due to the attack of the chemical contents of the vessel on the metal substrate. It is applicable to ( 1) provide a manufacturing and inspection test of glassed-steel equipment designed for relatively mild, low-temperature corrosive service, and (2) the field testing of similar equipment used in more severely corrosive environment.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
