B. 5 Processing of test results

The adhesion of the coating to steel (N/cm) after aging in water at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C, plus (60 ± 3) °C plus (80 ± 3) °C for each sample calculated using the formula (A. 1).

The test results of the parallel samples is calculated using the formula (A. 2).

When processing test results for the value of the adhesion of the protective coating to the steel after aging in water at a given temperature take the average value obtained for parallel samples.

The App
(required)
A method of determining the resistance of coatings to thermal Cycling

V. 1 Purpose of the test

Test on this method allows to determine the durability of the factory protective coating to cyclic thermal exposure in the temperature range from minus (50 ± 3) °C to (20 ± 5) °C, from minus (60 ± 3) °C to (20 ± 5) °C, from minus (20 ± 2) °C to (20 ± 5) °C and from minus (40 ± 2) °C to (20 ± 5) °C.

B. 2 Requirement to sample and auxiliary devices

For tests using specimens cut from pipes with an external protective coating with minimum overheating and damage of the coating.

The samples with the coating defects do not. The thickness and dielectric continuity of the coating on the test specimens shall conform to the requirements of this standard.

Recommended sizes of samples for the resistance to thermal cycles — (150 ±10)x (100 ± 10) mm. Number of parallel samples for the specified test conditions must be at least 3 pieces.

B. 3 Equipment and instruments

For testing used the following equipment:

— cryostasis, automatically maintaining the desired temperature set by the standard, with an accuracy of ± 3 °C;

alcohol contact thermometer brand TL-15 GOST 28498−90 or other similar device imported or of domestic manufacture;

— capacity for keeping the samples in water, steel, interior coating (e.g. enamel) or stainless steel with a working volume of not less than 10 l;

— ethyl alcohol according to GOST 17299−78.

B. 4 Preparation for testing

The cut edges of the samples coated degreased with ethyl alcohol.

Testing allowed samples with no signs of flaking of the coating.

B. 5 testing

To assess the resistance of coatings to thermal Cycling samples from coated pipes with open edges is subjected to the following testing regime:

— 8h of exposure in the cold chamber at a temperature of minus (20 ± 2) °C, minus (40 ± 2) °C, minus (50 + 3) °C or minus (60±3)°C;

— 15 hours of exposure in water at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C;

— 1 hour of air drying at room temperature.

In the first stage, test samples are placed in a cold chamber at the specified temperature. To control the temperature using an alcohol thermometer brand TL-15 GOST 28498−90 or similar.

After 8 hours of exposure at a temperature of minus (20 ± 2) °C, minus (40 ± 2) °C, minus (50 ± 3) °C or minus (60 ± 3) °C samples are placed in a container with a volume of 10−15 l, a pipe filled with water, and kept at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C for 15 h.

At the end of the test the samples are removed from the water, is removed from the surface with filter paper moisture and incubated at room temperature in air for 1H.

In case of positive test results (without signs of delamination and cracking of the coating) samples are again immersed in a cryochamber, and thermal Cycling is repeated.
