• Alternate immersion test - This immersion test involves a cyclic procedure that involves a specimen being immersed for a certain period of time. Then, the specimen is removed and undergoes drying prior to re-submerging to the cycle. Typically, about a hundred cycles are completed throughout the test.
• Simple immersion test - In this test, small batches of the material are subjected to the medium under testing, while loss of weight is being gaged for a particular period.
