If elevated temperatures arerequired but without temperature gradient, see Test MethodG42.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.

9、 (Attached Cell Method)3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The test method described, subjects the coating on thetest specimen to electrical stress in a highly conductive alkalineelectrolyte. Electrical stress is obtained from an impresseddirect- current system. An intentional holiday is to be made inthe c

At theconclusion of the test period, the test specimen is physicallyexamined.3.1.2 Physical examination is conducted by comparing theextent of loosened
11、or disbonded coating at the intentionalholiday in the immersed area with extent of loosened ordisbonded coating at a reference holiday made in the coating inan area that was not immersed.3.1.3 The cathodic stress is applied under conditions of aconstant temperature gradient, simulating a heated pipe
12、linewith an exterior coating.3.1.4 Specimens that can be used are: (a) piece of pipe (Fig.1)or(b) samples cut from pipe or flat plate (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).3.1.4.1 Some coatings rely on application tension (such astape) for maximum cathodic disbondment resistance. Cutcoupons or flat plates must not be
13、 used.4. Significance and Use4.1 Damage to a pipe coating is almost unavoidable duringtransportation and construction. Breaks or holidays in pipecoatings may expose the pipe to possible corrosion since, aftera pipe has been installed underground, the surrounding earthwill be moisture-bearing and wil

17、1loosening of the coating, beginning at holiday edges. Sponta-neous holidays may also be caused by such potentials. Usuallyexterior pipeline coatings applied over pipes carrying hotmedia (oil, gas) are exposed to high temperature inside the pipeand low temperature outside and subjected to temperatur
18、egradient. Heat flux is directed from metal (substrate) to thecoating. This test method provides accelerated conditions forcathodic disbondment to occur under simulated heating andprovides a measure of resistance of coatings to this type ofaction.4.2 The effects of the test are to be evaluated by ph
19、ysicalexaminations and monitoring the current drawn by the testspecimens. Usually there is no correlation between the twomethods of evaluation, but both methods are significant.Physical examination consists of assessing the effective contactof the coating with the metal surface in terms of observedd
20、ifferences in the relative adhesive bond. It is usually foundthat the cathodically disbonded area propagates from an areawhere adhesion is zero to an area where adhesion reaches theoriginal level.An intermediate zone of decreased adhesion mayalso be present.4.3 Assumptions associated with test resul
21、ts include:4.3.1 Maximum adhesion, or bond, is found in the coatingthat was not immersed in the test liquid, and4.3.2 Decreased adhesion in the immersed test area is theresult of cathodic disbondment.4.4 Ability to resist disbondment is a desired quality on acomparative basis, but disbondment in thi
22、s test method is notnecessarily an adverse indication of coating performance. Thevirtue of this test method is that all dielectric-type coatings nowin common use will disbond to some degree, thus providing ameans of comparing one coating to another.4.5 The amount of current flowing in the test cell
23、is arelative indicator of the extent of areas requiring protectionagainst corrosion; however, the current density appearing inthis test is much greater than that usually required for cathodicprotection in natural, inland soil environments.4.6 Test voltages higher than those recommended mayresult in
24、the formation of chlorine gas. The subsequent chemi-cal effects on the coating could cast doubt on the interpretationof the test results. Filter tube with fritted disk (see Test MethodG95) or layer of sand (40 mesh) put on the coated surface mayreduce this effect.5. Apparatus5.1 Test Vessel for Pipe
