NACE Standard TM0177-96 Laboratory Testing of Metals for Resistance to Sulfide Stress Cracking and Stress Corrosion Cracking in H2S Environments

An American National Standard. National Association of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) International. Houston, TХ. 1996. 35p. ISBN 1-57590-036-0
This standard covers the testing of metals subjected to tensile stresses for resistance to cracking failure in lowpH aqueous environments containing H₂S. Carbon and low-alloy steels are commonly tested for EC resistance at room temperature where SSC susceptibility is typically high.
