Strauss Test
Strauss Test
(OP)
Does anyone know the key differences,if any, between ASTM A262 Practise E and ISO 3651 Method 2A. Both are classed as Strauss tests and utilise CuSO4 and H2SO4 in the test solution but I am not sure if the concentrations are the same or if the immersion temperatures are the same.





RE: Strauss Test
There was ongoing work to harmonize the two, but I don't know if that actually happened.
