Test Solution C
         Test Solution C is a buffered aqueous brine solution with a chloride content, H2S partial pressure,
and pH specified by the user of purchaser to simulate the intended service environment.  
       Test Solution C shall consist of distilled or deionized water containing 0.4 g/L sodium acetate (5mM
CH3COONa) and chloride (added as NaCl) at the same concentration as the intended service
environment.
       Test Solution C is intended for use with martensitic stainless steels.Test SolutionB
       Test Solution B is an acidified and buffered, H2S-saturated aqueous brine solution.
       Test Solution B shall consist of 5.0 wt% sodium chloride, 2.5 wt% glacial acetic acid, and 0.41 wt%
sodium acetate dissolved in distilled or deionized water (e.g., 50.0 g of NaCl, 25 g of CH3COOH, and 4.1
g of CH3COONa dissolved in 921 g of distilled or deionized water).  
       Test Solution B is intended for use with carbon and low-alloy steels.   Test Solution A
         Test Solution A is an acidified and buffered, H2S-saturated aqueous brine solution.
       Test Solution A shall consist of 5.0 wt% sodium chloride and 0.5 wt% glacial acetic acid dissolved in
distilled or deionized water (e.g., 50.0 g of NaCl and 5.0 g of CH3COOH dissolved in 945 g of distilled or
deionized water).  Test Solution for Method B
         The test solution shall consist of 0.5 wt% glacial Acetic acid dissolved in distilled or deionized water.
(e.g., 5.0 g of CH3COOH dissolved in 995 g of distilled or deionized water).  NaCl shall not  be added to
the test solution.Method D - Standard Double-Cantilever-Beam (DCB) Test
