In addition to Chemical composition analysis of raw material, the following tests are performed on coated pipes.
Cathodic Disbondment testing provides an assessment of the resistance of the coating to disbondment when subjected to cathodic protection.
adhesion testing is necessary to ensure coating will adhere properly to the substrates to which it is applied.
contamination testing is performed for any foreign contaminants such as liquids, solids, gases, greases, lubricants and the like that could potentially impact the quality of our coated pipe
Porosity testing is performed to determine the degree of porosity or voids in the applied coating.
Cross-section Porosity testing is similar in nature to Interface Porosity Testing only rated on a separate scale.Gel Time testing is performed to determine the length of time a coating powder takes to gel at a specified temperature
Flexibility testing is performed to determine flexibility of the coating during transportation and field bending.
Scanning Calorimetry or DSC is used to determine the glass transition temperature and the exothermic heat of reaction of epoxy powders and coating.
