SOD lead corrosion

is a test developed by Exxon to measure the corrosiveness of lubricating oils. A small lead panel of known weight and a copper panel (as catalyst) are attached to a spindle, which is immersed in a tube of the lubricant and rotated. Air is introduced at the bottom of the tube and allowed to bubble up through the sample. The weight loss by the lead panel after a specified period of time is a measure of the corrosivity of the oil.
