ASTM D6577
1. Scope
1.1 This guide covers the selection and use of test methods and procedures for testing industrial protective coatings. Selection of the standards to be followed must be governed by experience and the requirements in each individual case, together with agreement between the supplier and the user.
1.2 This guide covers the testing of liquid coatings as applied on substrate by brushing, rolling, spraying, or other means appropriate to the coating and circumstance.
Note 1The term 'industrial protective coating' as used in this guide is described in the scope of Subcommittee D01.46 as ' paints applied to substrates on-site of structures and buildings, especially where subject to corrosive environments, as industrial, urban, and marine environments.'
Note 2Guides for testing other coating types, such as Guides D 4712, D 5146, D 5324 or for surface preparation, coating application, such as Guide D 3276, are available and should be used when it is applicable.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
