To add copper hydroxide, about 10g per 10L solution; to add alkaline copper carbonate, about 12¢ per 10L solution, To judge whether it is excessive or not by observing precipitate at the bottom of the container. At the same time, stir well, and 24h later, Filter it. If pondered copper oxide (Gu0) is used instead of cupric hydroxide, about 8g per TOL solution, but filter after 48h The density of the prepared test solution is 1.170 ke/dn under 15°C A.7.3 Test container 4.7.3.1 Test containers shal! be made of materials relatively inert to copper sul fate A. 7.3.2 The internal dimensions of the container must be appropriate to ensure that the immersed sample in the solution has clearance of at least 25 nm from any wall of the container.

A.7.5 Determination of Test Results After 5 times of successive impregnation and final cleaning and drying, no red color (plated copper color) shal | be observed, However, it is acceptable that red metal lic copper precipitate appear within 25mm from the end of the sample and 10mm from the liquid level For any redmetal lic copper precipitate on the sample, the adhesion property can be determined by the following method: after immersed in 1:10 hydrochloric acid solution for 15s and immediately wash in the flowing water. and if the galvanized coating appear againon the bottom surface, the sample is acceptable. When there is a doubt about the existence of the galvanized coating on the bottom of the red metallic copper precipitate, scrap away the red metallic copper precipitate, and drip one or a few drops of diluted hydrochloric acid here. If there is galvanized coating, there will be reactive hydrogen produced. In addition, it canbe determined by the qualitative test of zinc. that is to collect the dripping acid solution with the small filter paper or the pipette and neutralize it with ammonium hydroxide to make it faintly acid. Inject hydrogen sulfide into the solution to see whether there is white zinc sulfide precipitateGB/T 8162—2018 A.8 Adhesion of galvanized coating After the steel tube with an outside diameter not greater than 60. 3am is galvanized, the bending test shall be carried out to test the adhesion of the galvanized coating.
