1 Minimum life will be determined at the indicated penetration.

2 Relative humidity of test atmosphere will be 95 ±3pct; temperature of test atmosphere will be 25 ±2.5 °C.

3 Maximum allowable CO penetration will be 385 cm3 during the minimum life. The penetration shall not exceed 500 p/m during this time.

4 Relative humidity of test atmosphere will be 95 ±3pct; temperature of test atmosphere entering the test fixture will be 0 ±2.5 °C-0 °C.

5 Test conditions and requirements will be applicable as shown in this table.

6 Test conditions and requirements will be applicable as shown in this table, except the minimum service lives for acid gas, organic vapor, and ammonia will be 6 min instead of 12 min.
