Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4b M 246-5 AASHTO 9.1.2. Significance and UseThis test indi

36、cates the ability of the polymer to withstand forces in fabrication and use tending to disbond the coating from the substrate. 9.1.3. ProcedureCut a 50-by-200-mm coupon from the sample of precoated steel. Bend the coupon 180 degrees over a 12.5-mm diameter mandrel. The surface with the polymer coati

37、ng to be tested shall be on the outside of the bend. After making the bend, make a cut through the polymer coating along an element on the outside of the bend to check for polymer coating adhesion. Perform this test at 18C, 25C, and 50C 1C.

38、or disbonding from the metallic-coated substrate. 9.1.4. Precision and BiasNo statement is made about either the precision or the bias of the procedure for measuring adhesion since the result merely states whether there is conformance to the criteria for success specified in the procedure. 9.2. Impa

39、ct: 9.2.1. ScopeThis procedure is to measure the ability of the polymer coating to withstand impact. 9.2.2. Significance and UseThis test provides a measure of the ability of the polymer coating to resist damage by impact, to which it may be subjected in service, in order to determine brittleness of

40、 the polymer coating. 9.2.3. ProcedureCut a 150-by-150-mm coupon from the sample of precoated steel to be used for fabrication of the pipe. Direct impact the coating with an energy of 4.0 J using an impact tester1with a 15.88-mm diameter punch and with the specimen set on a 16.26-mm diameter punch d

Avoid excessive evaporation of the test solutions. 9.7. FreezeThaw Resistance: 9.7.1. ScopeThis procedure is to e

46、valuate the ability of the polymer coating to resist freezethaw cycling. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4b M 246-6 AASHTO 9.7.2. Significance and UseAs pipe fabricated from polymer-co

47、ated steel sheet will be exposed to freezethaw action while saturated, the procedure will measure ability to withstand such action without damage to the polymer coating. 9.7.3. ProcedureCut a minimum of three 150-by-150-mm coupons from the sample of precoated metal. Immerse the coupons in water at r

48、oom temperature for 2 weeks and then subject them to freezethaw cycling. One (1) cycle shall consist of 8 h at 18C followed immediately by immersion in water at room temperature for 16 h. Cycle time may be interrupted over weekends and holidays, but the specimens shall be maintained in water at room
