2、20001 TS-4h T 65M/T 65-1 AASHTO Standard Method of Test for Mass Weight of Coating on Iron and Steel Articles with Zinc or Zinc-Alloy Coatings AASHTO Designation: T 65M/T 65-131ASTM Designation: A90/A90M-11 1. SCOPE 1.1. This test method covers procedures for determining the mass weight of coating o

3、n iron or steel sheet, wire, and other articles in which the coating is zinc or a zinc alloy, such as zinc-5 percent aluminum (including zinc-5 percent aluminum-mischmetal and zinc-5 percent aluminum-0.1 percent magnesium) or 55 percent aluminum-zinc. In the body of this test method, reference to zi

4、nc coating shall be interpreted to also include zinc-alloy coating except where specifically stated otherwise. 1.2. The final results determined by this test method shall be expressed in SI units or inch-pound units, depending on the units used in the material specification to which the results are

5、to be compared. Certain portions of the procedure involving determination of specimen mass weight traditionally have been performed in SI units, and corresponding inch-pound units are not included. 1.3. For sheet products, the final results are expressed as either coating mass weight total both side

6、s, or coating mass weight separately on each side, depending on the specified requirements. 1.4. 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 pra

7、ctices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazards statements, see Section 5.1. 1.5. Current regulation codes and hazard classifications for chemicals used in this test method are listed in R 16. 2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTS 2.1. AASHTO Standard: R 16, Reg

11、e for Using Significant Digits in Test Data to Determine Conformance with Specifications 3. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 3.1. This test method provides a standard method for determining the mass weight of coating for comparison with specification requirements. A coating of zinc on iron or steel articles pro

12、vides protection against corrosion. As the protection is provided by sacrificial loss of zinc, the degree of protection is proportional to the mass weight of zinc coating. Specifications for zinc-coated articles frequently provide for different classes of coating so that the purchaser can select the

13、 coating mass weight most suitable to his needs. 4. REAGENTS 4.1. Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall be used in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended that all reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Committee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical So

14、ciety, where such specifications are available.2Other grades may be used, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy of the determination. 4.2. Purity of WaterWater used to prepare chemical solutions shall be reag

15、ent water as defined by Type IV of ASTM D1193. 4.3. Antimony Trichloride SolutionDissolve 20 g of Sb2O3or 32 g of SbCl3in 1000 mL of HCl (sp gr 1.18 to 1.19). 4.4. Hydrochloric Acid (sp gr 1.18 to 1.19)Concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl). 4.5. Hydrochloric AcidAntimony Trichloride SolutionAdd 5 mL

16、of antimony trichloride solution to 100 mL of HCl (sp gr 1.18 to 1.19). 4.6. Hydrochloric Acid (1+1)Mix 500 mL of HCl (sp gr 1.18 to 1.19) with 500 mL of reagent water and cool to room temperature. 4.7. Sulfuric Acid (25+75)Mix 250 mL of H2SO4(sp gr 1.84) with 750 mL of reagent water and cool to roo

17、m temperature. Note 1It is advisable to use an inhibitor with acid solution (for example, hexamethylamine tetramine or similar) at the concentration level according to the manufacturers recommendations to prevent attack of the substrate. 5. HAZARDS 5.1. WarningSmall amounts of the poisonous gas stib

18、ine (SbH3) may be evolved during the stripping process using the hydrochloric acid-antimony trichloride method. Hydrochloric acid fumes are present, and hydrogen gas is evolved in the stripping process. Therefore, the test should be performed under conditions of adequate ventilation. A fume hood is

19、recommended for large numbers of samples or where the test is to be carried out frequently over extended periods of time. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-4h T 65M/T 65-3 AASHTO 5.2. Wa

20、rningMixing of sulfuric acid with water could result in severe injuries if not properly done. Mixing must be done by slowly adding sulfuric acid to water due to the heat generated and possible splashing. Under no circumstances should the water be added to the acid. The mixing should be performed und

21、er an acid fume hood. 6. SAMPLING 6.1. Zinc-Coated SheetsSamples for mass weight-of-coating determination shall be secured in accordance with ASTM A653/A653M, A792/A792M, A875/A875M, A1046/A1046M, or A1063/A1063M depending on the type of coating. Note 2For convenience in calculating test results in

22、SI units, the specimen should have an area of 3330 mm2of sheet (57.7 0.1 mm square or 65.1 0.1 mm in diameter). For results to be reported in inch-pound units, the specimen should have an area of 5.08 in.2of sheet (2.25 0.01 in. square or 2.54 0.01 in. in diameter). The mass weight of coating in gra

23、ms on a specimen of that area is numerically equal to the mass weight of coating in ounces per square foot of sheet. 6.2. Zinc-Coated WireSamples shall be secured as designated in the appropriate specification. The specimen of wire may be of any length greater than 305 mm 12 in., but preferably abou

24、t 610 mm 24 in. Where a continuous length is not available, shorter lengths totaling more than 305 mm 12 in., but preferably about 610 mm 24 in., shall be used. Because the density of the steel is known to be 7830 kg/m3or 0.283 lb/in.3, it is not necessary to use a specific length of specimen. 6.3.

25、Zinc-Coated Articles Other Than Sheet or WireSamples for mass weight of coating determination shall be secured as designated in the appropriate specification. Except as otherwise provided, the specimens should have a minimum area of 2000 mm23 in.2 of zinc-coated surface. For very small items, severa

26、l pieces may have to be stripped to obtain the minimum area. 6.3.1. In the case of threaded articles, such as bolts and screws, the determination shall be made on a portion of the articles that does not include any thread. 7. PROCEDURE 7.1. Strip the zinc coating from the specimens by using one of t

27、he following methods: hydrochloric acid (1+1), hydrochloric acid-antimony trichloride solution, or sulfuric acid (2+75). For zinc alloy coatings containing less than 90 percent zinc, the stripping shall be done using hydrochloric acid (1+1) or sulfuric acid (25+75). 7.2. Clean the specimens by washi

28、ng with solvent naphtha or other suitable solvent, then rinse with alcohol and dry thoroughly. 7.3. Determine the mass weight of the specimens individually to the nearest 0.01 g, except for articles other than sheet or wire with a specimen mass weight greater than 125 g. For articles other than shee

29、t or wire with a specimen mass weight greater than 125 g, determine the mass (weight) to at least the nearest 0.1 g. After determining the mass weight, immerse each specimen singly in the stripping solution and allow to remain until the violent evolution of hydrogen has ceased and only a few bubbles

30、 are being evolved. This requires about 15 to 30 s, except in the case of sherardized coatings, which require a somewhat longer time. The same solution may be used repeatedly until the time required for stripping becomes inconveniently long. The temperature of the stripping solution shall at no time

31、 exceed 38C 100F. After stripping, wash the specimens by scrubbing them under running water, dip in hot water, and wipe or blow dry. Determine the mass weight of the specimens again, to the same precision as in the initial determination. 2015 by the American Association of State Highway and Transpor

Sheet SpecimensWhen measuring the total coating mass weight on both sides, or the single side coating mass weight on each side, determine the area of sheet (one surface) to the nearest 5

33、 mm20.01 in.2. If specimens were prepared to the dimensions as provided in Note 2, they shall be presumed to have an area of 3330 mm25.08 in.2. When it is not possible to determine the area accurately, as in specimens from corrugated sheets, the thickness of the stripped sheet shall be determined to

34、 the nearest 0.01 mm 0.001 in. 7.4.1. When determining the coating mass weight on one side of sheet material, use the procedure described in Section 7.3, except use a “stop-off” to protect one side from the stripping medium. Acid-resistant paints or lacquers, acid-resistant tape, or mechanical devic

35、es fastened to the test specimen are examples of commonly used “stop-off” materials. Apply the “stop-off” to the specimen after the initial determination of mass weight, and remove before the second determination of mass weight. Because of the possibility of moisture absorption during the stripping

36、process, the “stop-off” must not be on the specimen during either mass weight determination. Determine the coating mass weight on the second side subsequently without a “stop-off” on the first side. 7.5. Wire SpecimensDetermine the diameter of the stripped wire to the nearest 0.01 mm 0.001 in. by ta

37、king the average of two measurements at right angles to each other. 7.6. Specimens Other Than Sheet or WireDetermine the total coated area of the original specimen to the nearest 5 mm20.01 in.2. Alternatively, for specimens of uniform thickness of base metal, such as a piece of plate or pipe, determ

38、ine the average thickness of the stripped specimen to the nearest 0.01 mm 0.001 in. 8. CALCULATION 8.1. Zinc-Coated Sheet: 8.1.1. Results in SI Units: 8.1.1.1.
