Abstract
An accelerated corrosion test method has been developed in response to an industry need for a method to evaluate the expected long-term corrosion resistance of mid- and high-efficiency gas-fired furnaces. The test method described in this report is based on several years of related research at Battelle and A.G.A. Laboratories, plus review comments received from manufacturers on three interim reports, dated May 1988, February 1989, and February 1991. To verify this corrosion test method, extensive laboratory testing was performed using actual furnaces and vents to select the final accelerated test conditions.
