ASTM G48

ASTM G48 is a standardized test for evaluating how resistant a metal, like stainless steel or other alloys, is to corrosion caused by boiling or hot concentrated sulfuric acid. The test involves exposing the metal sample to the acid under controlled conditions to see if and how quickly it reacts or degrades. This helps determine the material’s suitability for use in harsh, acidic environments, ensuring safety, durability, and performance in industries like chemical processing, where materials are exposed to aggressive substances frequently.
