It isn’t necessary to include every section, but the more information you are able to include in each section, the easier it will be for users to evaluate between the various protocols.

For Oddy Tests Please include information under the following headings:

1. General Overview of Test Type

There are generally four types of “Oddy” or accelerated corrosion tests being carried out for assessment of materials. These are the 3-in-1 test with the coupons inserted into a test tube stopper described in publications from the British Museum, a 3-in-1 test with coupons resting over the edge of a jar within a jar pulished by the Met, a 2018 protocol described by the Met on the AIC Wiki Oddy Test Protocols page, and a contact test in which coupons are partially in contact and partially not in contact with the tested material. It would be beneficial if you could identify which of these four protocols yours comes closest to.
