Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method uses a falling fixed weight having aspecified diameter impact surface, tup, which is restrainedvertically and dropped from varying hei
6、ghts 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. Significance and Use4.1 The ability of a pipe coating to resist
7、 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 successfully used with impactapparatus conforming to th
8、e following specifications:5.1.1 TupThe tup shall be made up from a tup body anda tup nose having a combined, fixed weight of 1.361 kg (3.00lb) and shall be used over a drop range of 0.61 to 1.22 m (2 to4 ft). With most coatings, a 1.361-kg (3.00-lb) tup droppedthrough a distance of 914 mm (3 ft) yi
9、elds 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 impact toughness of at least 15 ftlb (20.34 J). Ballbearin
10、gs 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 other suitably rigidmaterial and internally sized to pro
11、vide 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 pipespecimen on line with the axis of the vertical drop
12、 tube.NOTE 2An arrangement using a V-notch vise made of metal withspring clamp is recommended for this purpose. Glancing blows, caused byan out-of-plumb condition between drop tube and pipe sample, will causeerratic test results.5.1.4 Apparatus SupportBoth the apparatus and sampleshall be firmly sup
13、ported and secured to a rigid base tooptimize energy transfer from the tup to the specimen.5.2 A design for the test apparatus appears in Figs. X1.1-X1.3 of Appendix X1.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is

17、pecified inTest Methods G62 shall be used to locate breaks in the coatingfilm.6. Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall be a 406.4 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
18、of production coated pipe.6.2 Seven specimens shall be required for the test.7. Conditioning7.1 The specimen shall be exposed to a room 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 speci
19、menin accordance with Test Method G12.8.2 Place test specimen in sample holder and lightly placetup on surface of the coating. Adjust 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 determi
20、nethe approximate starting point for the test. This shall be doneby striking the first specimen from a height sufficient to causefailure 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
21、 by 50 % and make a secondexploratory drop at a fresh area on the pipe surface. Continuetesting in this manner, with the corresponding 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
22、(3 in.) distance between adjacentpoints of impact and within 38 mm (112 in.) from the ends. Choosing testpoints in any regular pattern 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 determ
23、ine if an approximatelevel for the mean impact strength has been bracketed. Twosuccessive reversals of coating performance between failureand 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 B
24、egin testing from the approximate height determinedin 8.2 and corresponding to the point at which the firstnonfailure was registered. 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 th
25、e coating aftereach individual impact.9.4 If the coating film is penetrated on the initial drop, makethe next test at the next lower 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 theperf
26、ormance of the coating on each preceding drop. Maintain aconstant height increment between readings. Continue to applythis “up-and-down” method4until 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 5Fh01
27、 dSAN612DG3 W (1)where:h0= minimum height at which the less frequent eventoccurs, cm (or in.),d = increment in height of drop, cm (or in.),A = sum of the frequency of occurrence at each heightincrement times the number of increments above theh0value for each observation in the N total,N = total numb
28、er of the less frequent event (coatingfailures or nonfailures), andW = tup weight, g (or lb).NOTE 4The minus sign is used when the calculation 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
29、, s, in gram-centimetres (or inch-pounds) as follows:S 5 1.620 dWSNB 2 A2!N21 CD(2)where:C = 0.737 when d is in cm, or 0.029 when d is 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 incre-ments above t
30、he h0value for each observation in the Ntotal.NOTE 5Adequate definition of coating impact strength will resultonly if the height increment, 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
31、to 0.5 in.) have been foundsuitable 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 increment to the standard deviation (d/s)is less than 0.20, the test should be repeated using a large
32、r 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 X2.4This system of testing, nomenclature, and calculation is described by Dixon, W.J. and Mood, A. M., “A Method for Obta
