Repeat the test at least three times over the area of the test sample. 7.8 Scratch hardness When tested in accordance with BS6431-13:1986, the

34、 vitreous enamelled surface shall give a hardness of at least5on the Mohs scale. 8 Requirements for finished panels 8.1 General Finished panels shall be inspected following the enamelling process, prior to packing and despatch from the enamellers premises. The inspections given in8.2 to8.6 shall be

35、carried out.BS7793-1:1995 BSI 10-1999 3 8.2 Visual inspection of the outside surface The entire outside surface of all panels shall be inspected visually, using normal or corrected vision at a distance of not less than1.5m under good daylight or equivalent artificial lighting having an intensity of

36、at least1500lx, for defects in the enamel coating. Any panel having visible defects larger than1mm (see3) shall be rejected. Any panel having more than a total of three visible defects, smaller than1mm, per square metre of panel area, shall be rejected. 8.3 Visual inspection of the inside surface Th

37、e inside surface of all panels shall be inspected visually, using normal or corrected vision under good daylight or equivalent artificial lighting having an intensity of at least1500lx, for defects in the enamel coating. Any visible defect which also shows as a discontinuity when inspected using a l

38、ow voltage wet swab tester approved by the enameller for this purpose and used in accordance with8.4.3 and8.4.4 shall be reason to reject the panel. Any panel having more than a total of three discontinuities per square metre of panel area, or more than five discontinuities in any area 1m 1m square,

39、 shall be rejected. 8.4 Low voltage inspection of the inside surface 8.4.1 The inspections shall be confined to the defined inspection area (see3.11). 8.4.2 As a means of monitoring the visual inspection, panels shall be selected using a sampling procedure in accordance with BS6001-1:1991 and shall

40、be checked on the inside surface only, using a low voltage wet swab tester approved by the enameller for this purpose and used in accordance with8.4.3 and8.4.4. Any panel having more than a total of three discontinuities per square metre of panel area, or more than five discontinuities in any area1m

41、 1m square shall be rejected. If this inspection reveals more than the specified number of discontinuities, the inspection shall continue until such time as the enamelling process is rectified and the inspection again indicates numbers of discontinuities within the specified limits. When agreed betw

42、een the vitreous enameller and the purchaser (see clause4), it shall be permissible to cover discontinuities on the inside surface revealed by the low voltage inspection. The material used shall conform to clause7 of BS5502-50:1993, and shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturers instructi

43、ons. 8.4.3 The conducting solution used to wet the swab shall consist of tap water containing an industrial, low sudsing wetting agent at the rate of 8ml per litre of water (see4). 8.4.4 The tester shall have an excitation voltage of9V% and be set such that the alarm sounds or indicates when the ele

44、ctrical resistance of the vitreous enamel surface drops below900007 10%. The tester shall have a valid calibration record. 8.5 Inspection of vitreous enamel thickness The thickness of the vitreous enamel on panels selected using a sampling procedure in accordance with BS6001-1:1991 shall be measured

45、 using an instrument approved by the vitreous enameller for this purpose and suitable for a measurement range of04m to5004m which is regularly checked against a calibration standard. At no point within the inspection area shall the thickness of the vitreous enamel be less than1804m or more than5004m

46、 Panels having vitreous enamel thicknesses outside these limits shall be rejected. If this inspection reveals a vitreous enamel thickness outside the specified limits, the inspection shall continue on all panels until such time as the vitreous enamelling process is rectified and the inspection agai

47、n indicates vitreous enamel thicknesses within the specified limits consistently for a batch length of20panels. 8.6 Inspection of vitreous enamel colour Both surfaces of panels, selected using a sampling procedure in accordance with BS6001-1:1991, shall be inspected using a colour comparator approve

48、d by the vitreous enameller for this purpose, in order to check the colour against specified limits set by the vitreous enameller. Panels of a colour outside these limits shall be rejected. If this inspection reveals a colour outside the specified limits, then this inspection shall continue on all p

49、anels until such time as the vitreous enamelling process is rectified and this inspection again indicates vitreous enamel colour within the specified limits. NOTEColour in vitreous enamel is subject to process controls and it is recommended that acceptability of colour should be agreed between the purchaser and vitreous enameller prior to vitreous enamelling. +10 5BS7793-1:1995 4 BSI 10-1999 Annex A (informative) Guidance on vitreous enamelling processing A.1 Raw materials All raw materials used in the production of the vitreous enamelled panels need
