Test Methods. To ensure proper results, the following points should be
checked:
1.
Flow through the corrosion test rack must be continuous and
measurable. Use flow meters for all installations. When a flow
meter does not exist, flow must be measured by timing how long it
takes to fill a container of known volume such as a 20-liter (5-
gallon) pail.
2.
Normally, water velocity through the corrosion test rack should be
0.90 to 1.5 meters per second (3 to 5 feet per second). The
velocities in meters per second (feet per second) for given liters per
second (gallons-per-minute) flows for various pipe sizes are shown
in Table C-1.
