- Abstract
- The study was undertaken as part of a round-robin evaluation of a proposed American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) testing methodology entitled, 'Standard Guide for Laboratory Screening of Metallic Containment Materials for Use with Liquids in Solar Heating and Cooling Systems.' This study was undertaken solely to evaluate the procedural aspects of each test method and the results of this study are not intended to provide an assessment of the suitability of any of the metals evaluated for use in solar heating and cooling systems. It was determined that the tests described in this Standard Practice can be carried out as a basis for evaluating metal-heat transfer liquid pair interactions under conditions simulative of various modes of solar containment system operation.
