Test Method-Corrosivity
Hello Radsafers:


Does anybody know of a practicable method (something that will work 
at room temperature and in a period not to exceed a week or two) to 
test organic/aqueous solvent mixtures for corrosivity to steel, with 
respect to the EPA and DOT reg's? Is there a commercially available 
kit or something for this purpose that will yield some reasonably 
accurate quantitative result? This would be done in addition to 
testing pH on any aqueous or water-miscible phase that would be in 
the original mixture, or would exist as a separate phase after adding 
water to a sample to extract any potentially-corrosive moieties that are 
preferentially soluble in the aqueous phase.

Thanks!
