NACE TM0374-2007

The test methods in this standard are designed to provide a relative and quantitative measure of the abilities of scale inhibitors to prevent the precipitation of solids, a necessary and critical stage in the formation of scale. The test methods described in this standard are static laboratory screening tests designed to give a measure of the ability of scale inhibitors to prevent the precipitation of calcium sulfate and calcium carbonate from solution at 71°C (160°F). This standard is maintained by Task Group 493.
