Stock Loss

Effect Of Cleaning Agents On Aircraft Engine Materials Stock Loss Test Method

Test Standard:

  • Uncoated Panels:Maximum Allowable stock loss is 0.00025„ to achieve conformance with test's standard when immersed for 1 hour at 160°F (70°C).
  • Electroplated Panels: Maximum Allowable stock loss is 0.00025„ to achieve conformance with test's standard when immersed for 1 hour at 160°F (70°C).
  • Plasma Coated Panels: Maximum Allowable stock loss is 0.001" for plasma spray deposits to achieve conformance with test standard when immersed for 1 hour at 160°F (70°C).
