Identical with IP 154/2000.

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the corrosiveness to copper of liquid petroleum products and certain solvents. Volatile products, having a maximum vapour pressure of 124kPa at 37,8°C are included.

Volatile products with a vapour pressure above 124kPa at 37,8°C should be tested according to ISO6251 (see caution below). Electrical insulating oils should be tested according to ISO5662.

CAUTION— Some products, particularly natural gasolines, may have a significantly higher vapour pressure than is characteristic for their class, even if below 124kPa at 37,8°C. For this reason, extreme caution should be exercised to ensure that the pressure vessel containing such material is not placed in a bath at 100°C. Such samples may develop sufficient pressure at 100°C to rupture the pressure vessel and cause damage and/or injury.
