ASTM A123, Std spec for Zinc Coating on Iron and Steel Product -- Question

Jan 13, 2011 0 Replies

hi



I have a question about A123-6.1.1



/quote: [...] and each specimen coating thickness grade comprising that overall average for each test article shall average not less than one coating grade below that required in table 1. /end quote



My question is in regard to the coating grade, are they referencing to the material category in table 1 (material thickness) or the coating thickness grade in table 2 ?



for example: a 3/16 thick steel pipe should have a minimum of 75um average thickness of zinc (table1), one coating grade below could be read as a 1/8 thick pipe (45 um in table 1) or as 65um in table 2.



Hopefully my question make sense. Best regards and thanks for your time RosCo
