FIGURE 1. Corrosion production test.

CAUTION: The corrosion production test should not be performed with a "Flash Point" that

is not in conformance to that required by TABLE I. Therefore, it is essential that Flash Point

be established prior to this Corrosion production test.

4.3.1.3 Examination of test coupons. Upon completion of the test, remove the CLP and any

loose corrosion products from the specimen by swabbing with surgical gauze pads moistened

with naphtha, then with methanol (use 95 % ethanol for the magnesium), and follow by clean

solvent rinses. Visually examine and re-weigh the specimens and calculate the weight loss or

gain in milligrams per square centimeter. Visual evidence of corrosion such as pitting, etching

or dark discoloration, or a weight change in excess of TABLE II shall be cause for rejection of

product qualification.

4.3.2 Interference with chemical agent detector paper. This test shall be conducted using

both M8 and M9 Chemical Agent Detector Paper, per MIL-P-51408 and MIL-DTL-51518

respectively. Shake the CLP container for 10 to 15 seconds before application. Dip a nylon
