ASTM D 6442 - 05 Standard Test Method for Determination of Copper Release Rate From Antifouling Coatings in Substitute Ocean Water

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Current edition approved July 1, 2005. Published August 2005. Originally approved in 1999. Last previous edition approved in 2003 as D 6442 - 03. 10 p. This test method covers the laboratory determination of the rate at which copper is released from an antifouling coating in substitute ocean water. The practical limits for quantifying copper release rates by this method are from 1.8 to 500 μg cm-2d-
1. This range may be extended to 0.2 to 500 μg cm-2d-1 if the analytical procedure described in Appendix X1 is followed.
