Значење и употреба
5.1 Метод А — Method A describes a rapid and safe method for determining whether there are pinholes, voids, or metal particles protruding from the coating. Међутим, this method does not detect any thin spots in the coating. This method will determine if there are any serious defects in the film pipe coating.

5.2 Метода Б — Method B describes a method for determining whether there are pinholes, voids, or metal particles protruding from the coating and thin spots in the pipe coating. The method can be used to verify minimum coating thickness as well as voids in quality control applications.

1.1 These test methods cover equipment and procedures for detecting leaks in pipe-type coatings.

1.2 Method A is designed to detect defects such as holes and voids in thin film coatings of a thickness of 0.025 до 0.254 мм (1 до 10 mil) using ordinary tap water and an applied voltage of less than 100 V DC. If the wetting agent is used with water, it is effective against films up to 0.508 мм (20 mil) thick. Међутим, it should be noted that this method does not detect thin spots in the coating. Due to the relatively low voltage, this can be considered non-destructive testing.

1.3 Method B is used to detect defects such as pinholes and voids in pipeline coatings; But because of the higher voltage applied, it can also be used to detect thin spots in coatings. The method can be used for pipe coatings of any thickness and uses 900 до 20 000 V DC voltage. 2 This method is considered destructive because the high pressure involved usually destroys the coating at thin points.
