Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method uses a falling fixed weight having aspecified diameter impact surface, tup, wh
7、ich is restrainedvertically and dropped from varying heights to produce impactenergies over the required range. Electrical inspection is usedto detect resultant breaks in the coating. Impact resistance isdetermined as the amount of energy required to cause penetra-tion of the coating film.4. Signifi
8、cance and Use4.1 The ability of a pipe coating to resist mechanicaldamage during shipping, handling, and installation will dependupon its impact resistance. This test method provides asystematic means for screening coating materials with regardto this property.5. Apparatus5.1 This test method can be
9、 successfully used with impactapparatus conforming to the following specifications:5.1.1 TupThe tup shall be made up from a tup body and atup nose having a combined, fixed weight of 1.361 kg (3.00 lb)and shall be used over a drop range of 0.61 to 1.22 m (2 to 4ft). With most coatings, a 1.361-kg (3.
10、00-lb) tup droppedthrough a distance of 914 mm (3 ft) yields suitable results. Thetup nose shall have a 15.875-mm (58-in.) hemispherical head.NOTE 1Frequent replacement of the tup nose can be avoided if it iscut from steel capable of being hardened to a hardness of Rockwell C/45while retaining an im
11、pact toughness of at least 15 ftlb (20.34 J). Ballbearings conforming to SAE Grade 52100 have also been found suitablefor this purpose.5.1.2 Drop TubeA tube 1.52 m (5 ft) long shall be used tocontain the tup and guide it during free fall. The drop tube shallbe constructed of steel, aluminum, or any
12、other suitably rigidmaterial and internally sized to provide a minimum of frictionto the falling tup. A scale shall be attached for measuring theheight of drop to the nearest 2.54 mm (0.10 in.).5.1.3 Specimen HolderThe base plate of the apparatusshall include a device for positioning and holding the
13、 pipespecimen on line with the axis of the vertical drop tube.NOTE 2An arrangement using a V-notch vise made of metal withspring clamp is recommended for this purpose.

19、s GageMeasurements of coating thicknesswill be required for this test, and shall be done in accordancewith Test Method G12.5.4 Holiday DetectorA suitable detector as specified inTest Methods G62 shall be used to locate breaks in the coatingfilm.6. Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall be a 406.4
20、mm (16 in.) longpiece of Schedule 40, 60.325 mm (2.375 in.) outside diametercoated pipe prepared with its surface preparation and coatingprocedures equivalent to that of production coated pipe.6.2 Seven specimens shall be required for the test.7. Conditioning7.1 The specimen shall be exposed to a ro
21、om temperature of21 to 25C (70 to 77F) for a period of 24 h before beginningthe test.8. Preliminary Measurements8.1 Measure the applied coating thickness of each specimenin accordance with Test Method G12.8.2 Place test specimen in sample holder and lightly placetup on surface of the coating. Adjust
22、 either the drop tube or theattached scale so that the wing bolt (lifting pin) is at the zeromark of the scale.8.3 Make a preliminary set of impact readings to determinethe approximate starting point for the test. This shall be doneby striking the first specimen from a height sufficient to causefail
23、ure of the coating film. Consider any penetration a failure ifit is detectable with a suitable Holiday Detector as specified inTest Methods G62.8.3.1 Reduce the height by 50 % and make a secondexploratory drop at a fresh area on the pipe surface. Continuetesting in this manner, with the correspondin
24、g reduction inheight between drops, until the coating fails to break.NOTE 3Choose test locations at the specimen surface in a randommanner and keep at least a 76.2 mm (3 in.) distance between adjacentpoints of impact and within 38 mm (112 in.) from the ends. Choosing testpoints in any regular patter
25、n will bias the experiment and introduce errorinto the test results.8.3.2 Repeat the test at the height immediately precedingthe occurrence of the nonfailure to determine if an approximatelevel for the mean impact strength has been bracketed. Twosuccessive reversals of coating performance between fa
26、ilureand nonfailure will give sufficient indication that the point hasbeen reached.9. Procedure9.1 Perform the test at a room temperature of 21 to 25C (70to 77F).9.2 Begin testing from the approximate height determinedin 8.2 and corresponding to the point at which the firstnonfailure was registered.
27、 Maintain a fixed increment betweenadjacent testing heights.9.3 Use a suitable detector, as specified in Test Method G62,to determine penetration or lack thereof of the coating aftereach individual impact.9.4 If the coating film is penetrated on the initial drop, makethe next test at the next lower
28、height increment. If the firstspecimen does not fail, make the second test at the next higherincrement.9.5 In a similar manner, determine the height of fall by theperformance of the coating on each preceding drop. Maintain aconstant height increment between readings. Continue to applythis “up-and-do
29、wn” method5until 20 successive impact read-ings have been made.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the mean value of impact strength, m,ing/cm (or in./lb) as follows:m 5Fh01dSAN612DG3W (1)where:h0= minimum height at which the less frequent eventoccurs, cm (or in.),d = increment in height of drop, cm (or i
30、n.),A = sum of the frequency of occurrence at each heightincrement times the number of increments above the h0value for each observation in the N total,N = total number of the less frequent event (coating failuresor nonfailures), andW = tup weight, g (or lb).NOTE 4The minus sign is used when the cal
31、culation of the mean isbased on the total number of coating failures and the plus sign when it isbased on the nonfailures.10.2 Calculate the sample standard deviation, s, in gram-centimetres (or inch-pounds) as follows:S 5 1.620 dWSNB 2 A2!N21CD(2)where:C = 0.737 when d is in cm, or 0.029 when d is
32、in in., d, N,A, and W are as defined in 10.1, andB = sum of the frequency of occurrence at each heightincrement times the square of the number of incrementsabove the h0value for each observation in the N total.NOTE 5Adequate definition of coating impact strength will result onlyif the height increme
33、nt, d, has been properly chosen. When testingpolymeric films in the range from 0.254 to 1.016 mm (0.010 to 0.040 in.),height increments of from 5.1 to 12.7 mm (0.2 to 0.5 in.) have been found5This system of testing, nomenclature, and calculation is described by Dixon, W.J. and Mood, A. M., “A Method
34、 for Obtaining and Analyzing Sensitivity Data,”Journal Am. Statistical Assn., JSTNA, Vol 43, March, 1948, p. 109.G14 04 (2018)2suitable with the 1.361 kg (3.0 lb) tup. Larger increments may benecessary for thicker materials. If after making the calculations of 10.1and 10.2, the ratio of the height i
35、ncrement to the standard deviation (d/s)is less than 0.20, the test should be repeated using a larger value for theincrement d. This procedure will result in an improved estimate of thecoating impact strength.10.3 An illustration of the use of these equations appears inAppendix X2.11. Report11.1 The
36、 report shall include the following:11.1.1 Complete identification of the specimen including:11.1.1.1 Name and code number of the coating,11.1.1.2 Size of pipe,11.1.1.3 Source, production date, and production-runnumber,11.1.1.4 Minimum, maximum, and average coatingthickness,11.1.1.5 Date of test, an

Precision and Bias12.1 The reproducibility of the impact resistance deter-mined by this method should not differ between one laboratoryand ano
38、ther by more than 615 %. When the same instrumentis used by the same operator, repeatability on the same sampleshould not differ more than 615 %.
