Rationale: AMS2644J addresses methods that were recently developed for evaluating Method B and D penetrant water solubility and adds reference to Method A(W) throughout. The revision updates references (see Section 2), clarifies definitions (see 2.6.3), adds the water solubility test (see 3.3.8.6), clarifies water content testing (see 3.3.8.8), clarifies scope of concentration requirements (see 3.3.9.5), updates the requirements for acceptance testing (see 4.2.2.1), adds alternative material for testing (see 4.4.2 and 4.4.5.2.1), removes data validity evaluation (see 4.4.5.1.6), increases temperature range for testing (see 4.4.5.2.1), clarifies developer testing (see 4.4.12.1), adds language to address global shipping (see 5.3), updates Table 3 in line with text (Method C, Removers and Developers), revises Method C, Removers, removes specific Developer tests in Table 4, and adds Method A(W) to Tables 5 and 6.
