This document discusses ASTM G140, a test method for measuring atmospheric chloride deposition using a wet candle device. It can generate quantitative values of chloride ions deposited per square meter per day. While it may not accurately measure deposition on objects of different sizes and orientations, it has been successful in classifying corrosion severity in various marine locations. The test method involves establishing sampling sites and time periods, with monthly or 30-day exposures recommended for site characterization and seasonal monitoring for specific time periods. It provides a scope stating that the method measures chloride salt deposition from the atmosphere over time but cautions that airborne chloride levels vary seasonally.

ASTM G140
Significance and Use
This test method is capable of generating quantitative values of atmospheric chloride deposition specifying milligrams of chloride ions per square metre per day (or other units derived from such values). Note 1Chlorides in the atmosphere exist as a suspension of liquid droplets or solid particles. They are transported to solid surfaces by gravity, wind, or brownian motions. These transport mechanisms are direction-sensitive so that a vertical cylinder will not necessarily receive the same flux as a horizontal plate, or objects with different sizes and orientations. Therefore, the use of this approach to provide an indication of the deposition of chlorides on objects in atmospheric exposures may not be quantitatively accurate; however, this technique has been successful in classifying the severity of exposure in a variety of marine locations. The sites where samples are to be taken and the sampling time periods should be established. A continuous program of monthly or 30-day exposures is recommended for site characterization. Seasonal monitoring may be performed if there are specific periods of interest. 1. Scope 1.1 This test method covers a wet candle device and its use in measuring atmospheric chloride deposition (amount of chloride salts deposited from the atmosphere on a given area per unit time). 1.2 Data on atmospheric chloride deposition can be useful in classifying the corrosivity of a specific area, such as an atmospheric test site. Caution must be exercised, however, to take into consideration the season because airborne chlorides vary widely between seasons. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
TRADUCCION Mtodo de prueba estndar para determinar la deposicin atmosfrica de cloruro de Cambio por el Mtodo Vela humeda IMPORTANCIA Y USO Este mtodo de ensayo es capaz de generar valores cuantitativos de cloruro de deposicin atmosfrica que especifican miligramos de iones cloruro por metro cuadrado por da (o de otras unidades derivadas de tales valores). Nota 1- Existen cloruros en la atmsfera en forma de una suspensin de gotitas de lquido o partculas slidas. Son transportados a superficies slidas por la gravedad, el viento o movimientos browniano. Estos mecanismos de transporte son sensibles a la direccin, es por esto que un cilindro vertical no recibir necesariamente el mismo flujo como una placa horizontal, o los objetos con diferentes tamaos y orientaciones. Por lo tanto, el uso de este enfoque para proporcionar una indicacin de la deposicin de cloruros en los objetos en exposiciones atmosfricas no puede ser cuantitativamente precisa, sin embargo, esta tcnica ha tenido xito en la clasificacin de la gravedad de la exposicin en una variedad de ubicaciones marinas. Los sitios en los que las muestras se van a tomar y los perodos de tiempo de muestreo debe ser establecido. Se recomienda un programa continuo de exposiciones mensuales o de 30 das para la caracterizacin del sitio. Monitoreo estacional puede llevarse a cabo si existen perodos especficos de inters. 1. Alcance 1.1 Este mtodo de prueba cubre un dispositivo de vela hmeda y su uso en la medicin de la deposicin de cloruro de atmosfrica (cantidad de sales de cloruro deposita a partir de la atmsfera en una superficie dada por unidad de tiempo). 1.2 Los datos sobre la deposicin de cloruro de atmosfrica pueden ser tiles en la clasificacin de la corrosividad de un rea especfica, tal como un sitio de prueba atmosfrica. Hay que tener cuidado, sin embargo, tener en cuenta la temporada debido a los cloruros en el aire varan ampliamente entre las estaciones. 1.3 Esta norma no pretende dirigir todas las inquietudes sobre seguridad, si las hay, asociadas con su uso. Es la responsabilidad del usuario de esta norma establecer prcticas apropiadas de seguridad y salud y determinar la aplicabilidad de las limitaciones reglamentarias antes de su uso.
