NACE TM0199 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Deposit Mass Loading (Deposit Weight Density) Values for Boiler Tubes by the Glass-Bead-Blasting Technique

This test method details the procedures used in determining the amount of deposit accumulation on a boiler tube surface, commonly expressed as the deposit-weight-density value, via a technique known as glass-bead-blasting.This technique uses equipment to remove boiler waterside deposits on a piece of tubing removed from a representative area of a boiler.Included are details of the test equipment and apparatus, preparing the test specimen, the test procedure, and how to handle the test specimen after cleaning.Also included is a section on potential interferences.This standard is maintained by Task Group 218.
