Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with 'SO, also take part in the work. ISO Collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission UEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational Standard requires approval by at least 75% of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 1460 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 107, Metalic and other inorganic coatings, Sub-Committee SC 4, Hot dip coatings (galvenized, etc.) This second edition cancels and replaces the first_ecition (ISO 1460:1973), clauses 3 {formerly 4) and 7 of which have been tech- ically revised. ©. 150. 1992 Sights need No pan of tha pubicaton may be eprosucad ar ied ay fro £725 osae sectors rach a sete ad a fo -mmasion in writing from the publisher, F eee 7 rae Inerngral Organ fr Sansaszatin Sige Besa 68 Gr219 Senter 20 Soterans Prien SzeINTERNATIONAL STANDARD. ISO 1460:1992(E) Metallic coatings — Hot dip galvanized coatings on ferrous materials — Gravimetric determination of the mass per unit area 1 Scope This Interna termining the mi coatings on ferrous mate: al Standard specifies a m: er unit area of hot di Is. galvanized Since as exact knowledge of the area of the surfece is essential, this international Standard is mainly ap- plicable to shapes whose areas are easy to determine, If, with heavy samples, the specifications of clause 5 cannot be met, then the hot dip galvanized coating mass has to be determined by another method. 2. Principle The hot dip galvanized coating on a surface of known area is dissolved in inhibited acid and the resultant loss in mass is determined by weighing the sample before and after the coating is dissolved, 3 Stripping solution Dissolve 3,5 g of hexamethyienete! of concentrated hydrochloric acid fp = 1,19 gi lute this solution to 1 000 mi with distilled water. mine in $00 mt Bie 4 Sampling The method of sampling shall be agreed between the interested parties, 5 Procedure cessaty, the sample shall be degreased with an organic solvent that does not attack the hot dip galvanized coating, and then dried, Before stripping, the sample shall be weighed to an "y better than 1% of the presumed coating The quantity of solution shail igast 12 ml of solution are at cen ce of lable for tre of the surface shall be completely ime brisk shall then be d by the cess n of hydrogen.
