The ASTM B827-05 standard specifies procedures for conducting mixed flow gas (MFG) environment testing designed to evaluate the durability of electrical contact points or connectors in a corrosive gas environment. This test accelerates the corrosion process to rapidly assess the corrosion performance of a material or component by exposing the sample to a controlled corrosion gas mixture that simulates atmospheric corrosion conditions in real-world applications. The standard details the equipment required for testing, gas control, temperature and Humidity regulation methods, and verifies the repeatability of the test by controlling mass gain of the specimen corrosion film or electron beam analysis techniques. MFG testing is widely used to evaluate the performance of electronic components, electrical contact point materials and coatings, helping manufacturers optimize material selection and design to ensure product Reliability in harsh environments.
