ASTM D5144-00 PDF

1.1 This guide provides a common basis on which protective coatings for the surfaces of light water-moderated nuclear power generating facilities may be qualified and selected by reproducible evaluation tests. This standard also provides guidance for application and maintenance of protective coatings. Under the environmental operating and accident conditions of nuclear power generation facilities, encompassing Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR's) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWR's), coating performance may be affected by exposure to any one, all, or a combination of the following conditions:ionizing radiation; contamination by radioactive nuclides and subsequent decontamination processes; chemical and water sprays; high-temperature high-pressure steam; and abrasion or wear.

1.2 The content of this guide includes:
