Rationale

This work item is to resolve the issue brought up in the last ballot by Jack T. Sorry to vote negative but the blue book requires a negative for any notes with mandatory information like notes 1 and 2 and title issues. Since this is in its 8th year I will give you a soft negative if you desire, or you can make the changes and get approval for a concurrent ballot and try again. By soft negative I mean I will withdraw my negative if you take out a new work item and move my negative for a future ballot. Negative 1. Note 1 In the absence of such instrumentation, temperature and humidity measurement shall be made, at least twice a day, at the maximum and minimum humidity in a cycle. are recommended . 2. Note 2 . Not sure any word changes will do. You may need to number it to the main text as 4.3. 3. Title should have "with corrosive dips". Blue book requires a negative for title issues. 4. In 1.2 it states This practice does not prescribe the type of exposure specimen. However, in 3.1 it states The procedure described is used to observe the behavior of steels. How can in be both, that is ot prescribe the exposure and used to observe steels? Depending on your answer the title may need to be changed and 1.2 or 3.1 may need some word changes
