The test voltage: shall be 25 KV. The electrode (e.g. metal brush) shail bo in ‘contact with the coating surface, since any alr gap would falsify rosults. When a fault is present, a spark will be equipment will emit a signal Note. Spark testing is intended to reveal any discontinuities in the coating, not to test the breakdown resistance of a continuous coating 0n, oF the test 53.3 Bond strength The bond strength of the coating shal be determined by ‘means of testing using one ofthe tast assemblios ilustrated ‘figures 1 and 2 or equivalent equipment. The coating shall 6 pected off at right angles to the pipe surface at a rate of 40 mmimin. Three samples each shall be testod at a temper- ature of (20:6)°C and (50+5)°C. If one of the samples fails to meet the requirements, the test shall be ropeatad on five further samples, none of which shall fall Using a twin motor saw, an incision shall be made in the coating, at least 20mm but not more than 6mm wide, in ‘the dirsction of the pipe circumference, down to the sub- strate, and another incision mado at right anglas to the cuts Just made. The test piace so obtained shall be gripped, and 2 length of about 20 mm ited trom the pipe surface. Disra- ‘garding the fist and last 20 mm of test strip the force used to Bf off the strip shall be continuously recorded using, for cample, a dynamometer.

For testing at (50+5)°C, the sample shall be incised as described above and heated to about €0°C. The tempera: “ue of the external surface of the test place shall be contin- uusly monitored using. for example, a fast-response con- ‘act thermometer.

The impact energy, £, shall be ‘equal to (5p) J per mm of coating thickness, with @ tole ‘ance of $9, The factor y (ct. table 2) accounts for the cur: vature of the pipe, it being permissible to reduce the impact energy by this amount by reducing the mass of the falling welght or the drop height Table 2 Nominal size (ON) |__y From 200 | 1.0 65 to below 200 | 08s Loss than 65 | 070 ‘The faling weight shall be guided so as to minimize friction land so thatthe direction offal is normal to the pipe surface. ‘The pipe shall be subjected to impact 30 times, the dlatance bbotween two points of Impact boing atleast 30 mm. Follow ing that, atest voltage of 25 KV shall be appliod, and it shalt be checked whether breakcown occurs, 5.35 Indentation hardness Indentation hardness testing shall be carried out on three test pieces, taken from coating not more than 2 mm thick, which has been removed from the pipe and fread of adhe- sive. may be necessary to abrade the reverse side of tha {est pleco to obtain the required thickness ) If one of the test pieces fails to meat the requirements, the tast shal! bo ‘opeated on five further test pieces, none of which shal fal ‘The indentor shall be a 250.9 metal rod to which an addi- ‘onal woight can be attached.

The total mass of the assembly shall be 2,5kg (corresponding to @ pressure of 4ONImm?) For measurement of indentation dopth, a ponotrometer with dial gauge, which permits measurements to be made to an accuracy of 0,1 mm, is quired. Testing shall be carried out at temperatures of (28 +2) °C ‘and (60: 2)°C, the higher temperature being (70-4 2)°C in the case of type S coatings, using a temporature-controlled water bath, if necessary. Aftar conditioning the test place for ‘one hour at the test temperature, the indentor (without the additional weight) shall be slowly and carefully lowered on the test pieco, and the zoro value set at the penetrometer within five seconds. Following this, the additional weight shall be attached to the indentor and, after 24 hours, the depth of penetration read from the penetrometer. 53.8 Percentage elongation at failure The coating of three pipes shall be tested for elongation at failure, from which five test ploces each shail be taken.

The pipe ehall then be placed vertically, ina vessel containing the test medium. The pipe may be removed from the medium and wetted with an electro- Iyte solution to measure resistivity The coating shall be tosted for continuity (of. subclause 5.3.2) before being tested for resistivity. For the purposes of measurement, the positive pole of the de. source shall be connected to the steel pipe, and the ‘nogative pole to the counterelectrode, which shail then be immersed in the test medium.
