本指南涵盖并描述了影响实验室浸没腐蚀试验（尤其是质量损失试验）的因素。这些因素包括仪器、取样、试样、试验条件（试液成分、温度、气体喷射、流体运动、溶液体积、支撑试样的方法、试验持续时间）、清洗试样的方法、结果解释和腐蚀速率计算。本指南还强调了记录所有相关数据的重要性，并提供了报告测试数据的检查表。

This guide covers and describes the factors that influence laboratory immersion corrosion tests, particularly mass loss tests. These factors include apparatus, sampling, test specimen, test conditions (test solution composition, temperature, gas sparging, fluid motion, solution volume, method of supporting test specimens, duration of test), methods of cleaning test specimens, imterpretation of results, and calulation of corrosion rates. This guide also emplasizes the importance of recording all pertinent data and provides a checklist for reporting test data.
