4.3.7

Corrosive Effect

The tubing shall be tested for copper mirror corrosion in accordance with ASTM D 2671, Procedure A. The

specimens shall be conditioned for 16 hours at 135 ± 3°C (275 ± 5°F).

4.3.8

Fluid Resistance

Six specimens, three 6-inch (150-mm) tubing specimens, which shall be weighed prior to immersion, and

three tensile specimens prepared and measured in accordance with 4.3.2, shall be immersed for 24 hours in

each of the test fluids listed in Table 3 at the temperature specified. The volume of the fluid shall not be less

than 20 times that of the specimens. After conditioning, all the specimens shall be lightly wiped and air dried

for 30 to 60 minutes at 23 ± 3°C (73 ± °F). The three specimens intended for the tensile strength and

elongation tests shall then be tested in accordance with 4.3.2. The other three specimens shall be weighed

before and after immersion and the weight change calculated as a percentage.

4.4

REJECTION AND RETEST

Failure of any sample of tubing to comply with any one of the requirements of this specification shall be

cause for rejection of the lot represented. Tubing which has been rejected may be replaced or reworked to

correct the defect and then submitted for acceptance. Before resubmitting, full particulars concerning the
