Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This pract
3、ice covers the evaluation of the degree ofrusting on painted steel surfaces. The visual examples whichdepict the percentage of rusting given in the written specifica-tions form part of the standard. In the event of a dispute, thewritten definition prevails. These visual examples were devel-oped in c

The photo-graphs can be used to estimate the percentage of other coatingdefects on various substrates. This standard does not includeevaluation of rust propagation around an initially preparedscribe, scor

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2

Significance and Use3.1 The amount of rusting beneath or through a paint film isa significant factor in determining whe
7、ther a coating systemshould be repaired or replaced. This practice provides astandardized means for quantifying the amount and distributionof visible surface rust.3.2 The degree of rusting is evaluated using a zero to tenscale based on the percentage of visible surface rust.3.3 The distribution of t
8、he rust is classified as spot rust,general rust, pinpoint rust or hybrid rust.4. Interferences4.1 The visual examples that are part of this practice and theassociated rust-grade scale cover only rusting evidenced byvisible surface rust.4.2 The use of the visual examples requires the followingcaution
9、s:4.2.1 Some finishes are stained by rust. This staining mustnot be confused with the actual rusting involved.4.2.2 Accumulated dirt or other material may make accuratedetermination of the degree of rusting difficult.4.2.3 Certain types of deposited dirt that contain iron or ironcompounds may cause
10、surface discoloration that should not bemistaken for corrosion.4.2.4 Failure may vary over a given area. Discretion musttherefore be used when selecting a single rust grade or rustdistribution that is to be representative of a large area orstructure, or in subdividing a structure for evaluation.4.2.
11、5 The color of the finish coating should be taken intoaccount in evaluating surfaces as failures will be more apparenton a finish that shows color contrast with rust, such as used inthese reference standards, than on a similar color, such as aniron oxide finish.5. Procedure5.1 Select an area to be e
12、valuated.5.2 Determine the type of rust distribution using definitionsin Table 1 and visual examples in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3.5.3 Estimate percentage of surface area rusted using thevisual examples in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, and Fig. 3 or SSPC-VIS 2,orboth, by electronic scanning techniques or other me
13、thod agreedupon by contracting parties.5.4 Do not consider flow of corrosion products onto thesurface of intact coating (that is, “rust bleed” or staining) aspart of the surface area rust. It may be helpful to wipe thesurface with a damp cloth to remove the rust bleed beforeevaluating.1This practice

Assign ru
17、st rating using rust grade of 0-10followed by the type of rust distribution identified by S forspot, G for general, P for pinpoint or H for Hybrid.NOTE 1The numerical rust grade scale is an exponential function ofthe area of rust. Plotting the rust grade versus area of rust results in astraight line
18、 in semilogarithmic coordinates. The slope of the line changesat 10 % of the area rusted to allow it to resolve differences below 10 %across rust grades from 10 to 4 while including 10 to 100 % in rust grades3 through 0.5.6 The visual examples are not required for use of therust-grade scale since th
19、e scale is based upon the percent of thearea rusted and any method of assessing area rust may be usedto determine the rust grade.6.
