19、ope This European Standard is applicable for internally coated cylindrical aluminium tubes, mainly used for the packing of pharmaceutical, cosmetic, hygiene, food or other household products. The internal coating is used as a barrier and should avoid any contact between aluminium and the product. Th
20、is standard defines the copper sulphate method to detect the electrolyte conductivity as one criterion for the quality of the internal coating. The electrolyte conductivity of the internal coating is only one criterion for evaluation of the quality of an internal coating. It does not give any inform
21、ation on the quantity or size of any pores or uncoated areas, nor any hint on possible reactions between the aluminium tube and the product. The electrolyte conductivity should never be used as the sole criterion for quality evaluation of the internal coating, but always with other parameters e.g. f
22、ilm thickness, acetone and/or ammonia resistance and of course results of enhanced stability studies. 2 Principle The electrolyte conductivity of internally coated aluminium tubes is tested by an enamel conductometer. The aluminium tubes are filled with an electrolyte solution up to a fixed level at
23、 its open end. One electrode is connected to the tube nozzle, the second electrode is dipped into the solution. A defined voltage is applied for a fixed time. The induced current is a measure for the quality (pores and/or film thickness) of the internal coating. 3 Apparatus 3.1 Enamel conductometer

Depending on the method and the kind of appar
30、atus (different apparatus are available) specific adjustments and calibrations may be necessary and should be done as described in the user manuals prior to use. To take a measurement put the tube into the adapter electrode, ensuring there is an electric circuit between the tube and electrode. Inser
31、t the dipping electrode centrally into the tube until it touches the tube shoulder, avoiding any contact between the tube wall / tube shoulder and the dipping electrode. Fill the tube with electrolyte up to 10 mm from the end after inserting the electrode. Start the measurement application of voltag
32、e immediately. Read the result in mA on the display after the measuring interval. The electrolyte can be used for testing 10 tubes. The test on one tube is not repeatable for the copper sulphate method. DIN EN 15384-2:2017-04 EN 15384-2:2017 (E) 7 5 Tolerances The tolerances given in this standard a
33、re based on long-term experiences and are valid only for membrane tubes. For tubes with special conification angles and nozzles, e.g. without membrane or cannula, higher tolerance limits may be required. In addition, for some specific internal coatings but also depending on the product, different to
34、lerance limits may be required. Any deviations from this standard shall be agreed mutually between both parties. Tolerances for the copper sulphate method are given in Table 2: Table 2 Tolerances for the copper sulphate method Tube diameter mm Mean Value mA Single Value mA 28 25 80 28 45 35 80 45 50
35、 45 80 Due to several variables which can affect the result (e.g. corrosion, surface of copper electrode) the accuracy of the methods may vary by several mA. For making well-founded conclusions a representative number of tubes should always be tested. NOTE 1 Test apparatus from different suppliers m
36、ay give different results. In this case comparative measurements and correlations factors may be required. NOTE 2 The tolerances given in Table 2 are only valid for standard tubes and not for tubes with additional treatment such as sterilization. 6 Test report Unless otherwise agreed between both pa
37、rties the test report shall contain the following information: a) reference to this standard and if necessary a specification for the method of sampling and acceptance of the batch, b) complete identification of the batch and of the tubes checked, c) description of the samples, d) registering number
