Quality control measurements
We have at our disposal high-quality calibrated equipment to perform measurements to ensure corrosion protection control.
Measurements performed:
- salinity test;
- surface roughness;
- cleanliness;
- assessment of dust;
- dry film thickness;
- adhesion.
We perform all the measurements required by the ISO 12944 (1-8) and NORSOK M501 standards.
Some of the most important:
| ISO 8501-1 | Preparation of steel substrates before application of paint and related products - Visual assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 1: Rust grades and preparation grades of uncoated steel substrates and steel substrates after overall removal of previous coatings |
| ISO 8501-2 | Preparation of steel substrates before application of paint and related preparations - Visual assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 2: Preparation grades of previously coated steel substrates after localized removal of previous coatings |
| ISO 8501-3 | Preparation of steel substrates before application of paint and related products - Visual assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 3: Preparation grades of welds, edges and other areas with surface imperfections |
| ISO 8501-4 | Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products -- Visual assessment of surface cleanliness -- Part 4: Initial surface conditions, preparation grades and flash rust grades in connection with high-pressure water jetting |
| ISO 8504-(1-3) | Preparation of steel substrates before the application of paint and related products |
| ISO 4628-(1-10) | Paints and varnishes – Evaluation of degradation of paint coatings – Designation of intensity, quantity and size of common types of defect |
| ISO 2808 | Paints and varnishes – Determination of film thickness |
| ISO 19840 | Paints and varnishes — Corrosion protection of steel structures by protective paint systems — Measurement of, and acceptance criteria for, the thickness of dry films on rough surfaces |
| ISO 4624 | Paints, varnishes and plastics – Pull-off test for adhesion |
| ISO 2409 | Paints and varnishes — Cross-cut test |
| ASTM D5162 A | Standard Practice for Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of Nonconductive Protective Coating on Metallic Substrates (Low voltage wet sponge testing) |
| ASTM D5162 B | Standard Practice for Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of Nonconductive Protective Coating on Metallic Substrates (High voltage spark testing) |
| ISO 8502-6 | Preparation of steel substrates before the application of paints and related products - Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 6: Extraction of soluble contaminants for analysis – The Bresle Method |
| ISO 8502-9 | Preparation of steel substrates before the application of paints and related products – Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness – Part 9: Field method for the conductometric determination of water-soluble salts. |
| ISO 8502-3 | Preparation of steel substrates before the application of paints and related products - Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 3: Assessment of dust on steel surfaces prepared for painting (pressure-sensitive tape method) |
Measurements are performed in our own laboratory, in the workshop and on site.
