Betekenis en doel

5.1 This procedure defines a test method for comparing the relative wear resistance of pipe coatings.

5.2 Wear resistance can be used to specify a better coating thickness for candidate materials in the development and research work of studying new coating systems or methods and in quality control.

Reikwijdte van

1.1 This accelerated test method is a procedure to determine the relative wear resistance of steel pipe coating to coarse abrasive and water slurry. The method is applicable to the testing of all types of electrical insulating pipe coatings and tapes, including thermoplastics, thermoset, and asphalt materials.

1.2 Pipe coatings are generally not subject to the type of wear specified in this article.

1.3 Zinc and other metal protective coatings can be visually compared, but not enough to meet the electrical requirements of the test method.

1.4 The value of three valid decimals reserved in the International System of Units shall prevail. De waarden tussen haakjes zijn alleen ter referentie.
