This standard provides two separate test methods for evaluating protective coatings on any metallic substrate, such as steel, copper, aluminum, etc., so that the factors of both chemical resistance and permeability can be considered. The results obtained should give a good indication of what would happen on exposure to similar service conditions.
Protective coatings, as referred to in this standard, may be applied in liquid form (solution, dispersion, etc.); or dry form (powders); using spray, dip, roller, brush, trowel, or other appropriate application techniques.
