Disclosure To Promote The Right To Information
Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard specifies a rating system that provides a means of defining
levels of performance
of coatings, other than those anodic to the basis metal,
that have been subjected
to accelerated
corrosion
tests. This method
takes into account only corrosion of the basis metal.
2. DEFINITIONS
2.0 For the purpose
of this standard,
the following
definitions
shall apply.
2.1 Significant
Surfacea
- In general,
significant
surfaces are those
surfaces
that
are
visible
and
subjected
to wear
or corrosion
or
both,
or surfaces
on which
the
coating
is otherwise

of the significant
surfaces
shall be agreed

and the purchaser,

on the drawings.
The surfaces on which a controlled
deposit ordinarily
cannot be obtained,
such as holes, recesses, angular bases, are normally
exempt
from the requirements
for significant
surfaces,
unless they are
When such areas
are designated
as

designated
as such.
significant surfaces and the thickness requirements
are to be met, the manufacturer and the purchaser shall recognize the necessity for either thicker
deposits on the more accessible surfaces or special rackmg.
Special racks
may involve the use of conforming,
auxiliary, interior, or bipolar electrodes.
NOTE-Significant
surfaces generally may be defined as those parts of the visible
surface that can be touched with a sphere of diameter either 20 mm or as agreed upon
by the manufacturer and the purchaser.
2.2 Corrosion
Spot - A surface corrosion defect at which the coating is
penetrated as indicated by the appearance of basis metal, corrosion products
or lifting of the coating.
Discolouration
or other surface defects, which do
not penetrate
the coating, do not count as corrosion spots.
The size of a
corrosion spot is the area of the penetration
through the coating and no
that of associated staining.
3. SAMPLING
3.1 The batch should be sampled in the manner required by the relevant
specification.
The total significant surface area of the sample should be in
excess of 5 000 mm2.
3.2 If the individual articles forming the sample have a signilicant surface
area smaller than 5 000 mm2, the sample for assessment should comprise a
sufficient number of individual articles to obtain a total significant surface
area equal to or greater than this area.
3.3 If the rating number required by the relevant specification is > 8, the
total signiscant surface area of the sample should exceed 10 000 mm*.
4. EXAMINATION
OF
SAMPLE
AFTER
TEST
4.1 The
IS : 6009 - 1970
corrosion spots. When evaluating the total area of sample, squares more
than half occupied should be counted as full squares and those less than
half occupied should be ignored.
4.4 If a spot appears to lie in more than one square, it should be counted
only once in the evaluation, but cracks traversing more than one square
should be counted for each square entered.
5. SUITABILITY
5.1 If ten or more corrosion spots can be included in any two adjacent
5 mm squares, or any spots are present of area greater than 2.5 mmz, the
sample shall be considered unsuitable for assessment.
For long cracks
traversing more than one 5 mm square, the sample shall be considered
unsuitable for assessment if the area of the crack in any one square exceeds
2.5 mms.
5.2 If the sample consists of more than one individual article, and gross
differences in the degree of corrosion are evident between these- individual
articles, the sample shall be considered unsuitable for assessment.

7.1 Samples Comprising Individual Articles with Areas for Assessment Greater than 2 509 mm - Find the 50 x 50 mm area showing the
greatest number of corrosion spots. Count the number of 5 mm squares in
this area which are occupied by corrosion spots. Reduce the.initial rating
obtained by the method ,given in 6 by one unit for each ten squares thus
obtained.
