Describe testing methods and tools
assurance and the roles of coatings
used in measurement of surface
inspector and manufacturer in the
profile
process
2 5
Explain the importance of measuring
inspection including holiday/pinhole
ambient conditions and the tools and
detection, cure testing, gloss
testing methods involved
measurements and adhesion testing
3
Describe the two aspects of surface
preparation – surface cleanliness
and surface profile
Cross-section of concrete
• Ambient Conditions
• Surface Preparation
• Product & Batch #s
• Coating Mixing & Thinning
• Application
• Thickness & Cure
• Air temperature
• Relative humidity
• Dew point temperature
• Surface temperature
• Verification that conditions meet
the requirements of the coating
INSTRUMENTATION:
• Sling or battery-operated psychrometers
(wet and dry bulb temperatures)
• Psychrometric charts (determination of
relative humidity and the dew point temperature)
• Surface temperature thermometer
RELATIVE HUMIDITY
The amount of moisture in the air,
as a percentage of total saturation
DEW POINT
The temperature at which moisture
in the air condenses on a surface; a surface
temperature at or below the dew point
temperature will result in condensation.
Substrate must be 5⁰F above dew point
ASTM F 1869:
Standard Test Method for measuring
moisture vapor emission rate of
concrete using anhydrous calcium
chloride moisture emissions test
ASTM F-2170
TWO-FOLD PURPOSE OF
SURFACE PREPARATION:
• Surface cleanliness
• Surface profile (anchor pattern)
ASTM D4417
Method B (depth micrometer)
ASTM D4417
Method C (replica tape and spring micrometer)
ICRI GUIDELINE
#03732 (310.2)
% Solids by Volume
• Frequency of measurements
• Determines dry film allowable deviation
• States procedure for correction
of nonconforming areas
• States method of calibration for
Type I and Type II dry film gauges
TOOKE GAUGE
• Used to measure total coating thickness and the thickness
of individual layers of coatings in multi-coat films
• ASTM D 4138, Measurement of Dry Film Thickness
of Protective Coating Systems by Destructive Means
• Can be used on multiple substrates
• Holiday/Pinhole Detection
• Cure Testing
• Adhesion Testing
HOLIDAY/PINHOLE DETECTION
• Holiday — skip or miss
• Pinhole — tiny hole which may or
may not be visible to the unaided eye
• Often mandatory for lining systems
• Often performed after next to last
or last coat applied, but before
fully cured
ASTM D 4541
(tensile adhesion)
ASTM D 3359
(shear [tape/knife] adhesion)
ASTM D 6677
(adhesion by knife only)
