17、s through the ability of a harder mineral to scratch a softer mineral 4 Principle The scratch hardness on the Mohs scale, of vitreous and porcelain enamels is determined by drawing certain minerals of defined hardness, on the Mohs scale, by hand over their surface. 5 Reference minerals Reference min
18、erals and their Mohs scale hardness are listed in Table 1.

19、 specimen shall be prepared in accordance with EN 15206. 7 Procedure 7.1 Place the test specimen of the enamel that is under test on a firm support with the vitreous and porcelain enamel coating uppermost. 7.2 By hand, draw across the surface of the test specimen a sharp edge of the reference minera
20、l, starting with fluorspar, applying a uniform effort such that at the end of the test either the edge of the reference mineral or the surface of the test specimen is damaged. Scratch the surface of the test specimen two times with a sharp edge of the reference mineral. 7.3 Examine the test specimen
21、 visually for scratches. 7.4 If there are no scratches, repeat steps given in 7.1 to 7.3 with the reference mineral of the next highest Mohs scale hardness. 8 Assessment of result For each test specimen note the mineral of highest Mohs scale hardness that produces no scratches. In the case of a test
22、 specimen having variable scratch hardness, note the lowest Mohs scale hardness. 9 Test report The test report shall include the following: a) all information necessary for identification of the test specimen; b) reference to this European Standard (EN 15771); c) reference minerals used; d) results
23、of the test as specified in Clause 8, expressed as the Mohs scale hardness for each test specimen; e) any unusual features (anomalies) observed during the test; f) date of the test.
