Summary of Practice4.1 This practice allows for high voltage electrical detection of discontinuities in new linings applied to concrete substratesthrough the utilization of a continuous conductive underlayment applied to the prepared concrete surface prior to the applic

29、ationof the nonconductive lining layer(s) or by determining the conductivity of the concrete substrate to be tested. The conductivity ofconcrete varies, depending on moisture content, type, density, and location of rebars. Test the conductivity of the concrete byattaching the signal return cable to

30、rebar or other metallic ground permanently installed in the concrete. If the concrete issufficiently grounded a signal return cable may be placed with its electrical contact against the structure and held in place usinga wet sand bag. If the test indicates the concrete provides an insufficient signa

31、l return the test cannot be conducted. A conductiveunderlayment will be required if a continuity test is to be conducted and it is not practical to add this conductive layer for thepurpose of the test.5. Significance and Use5.1 The electrical conductivity of concrete is primarily influenced by the p

32、resence of moisture. Other factors, which affect theelectrical continuity of concrete structures, include the following:5.1.1 Presence of metal rebars,5.1.2 Cement content and type,5.1.3 Aggregate types,D4787 1335.1.4 Admixtures,5.1.5 Porosity within the concrete,5.1.6 Above or below grade elevation

33、,5.1.7 Indoor or outdoor location,5.1.8 Temperature and humidity, and5.1.9 Age of concrete.5.2 The electrical conductivity of concrete itself may be successfully used for high-voltage continuity testing of linings applieddirectly with no specific conductive underlayment installed. However, the volta

34、ge required to find a discontinuity may vary greatlyfrom point to point on the structure. This variance may reduce the test reliability.5.3 Although the most common conductive underlayments are liquid primers applied by trowel, roller, or spray, and whichcontain carbon or graphite fillers, others ma

35、y take the form of the following:5.3.1 Sheet-applied graphite veils,5.3.2 Conductive polymers,5.3.3 Conductive graphite fibers,5.3.4 Conductive metallic fibers, and5.3.5 Conductive metallic screening.5.4 Liquid-applied conductive underlayments may be desirable as they can serve to address imperfecti

36、ons in the concretesurface and provide a better base for which to apply the lining.5.5 This practice is intended for use only with new linings applied to concrete substrates. Inspecting a lining previously exposedto an immersion condition could result in damaging the lining or produce an erroneous d

37、etection of discontinuities due topermeation or moisture absorption of the lining. Deposits may also be present on the surface causing telegraphing. The use of ahigh voltage tester on a previously exposed lining is not recommended because of possible spark through which will damage anotherwise sound

38、 lining. A low voltage tester can be used but could produce erroneous readings.5.6 The user may consider this practice when performance requirements of the lining in a specified chemical environmentrequire assurance of a lining free of discontinuities.5.7 Factors affecting the dielectric properties

39、and test voltage shall be considered. Some factors are the curing time ofliquid-applied linings; the possible presence of electrically conductive fillers or solvents, or both; the possible presence of airinclusions or voids; and the compatibility of conductive underlayments with the specified lining

40、.5.8 A pulsed dc high voltage may cause a lining to breakdown at a lower voltage than would be the case for a continuous dcvoltage.6. Apparatus6.1 High Voltage Spark TesterAn electrical detector with a voltage rating in excess of 500 V. The detector is to consist of anelectrical energy source, an ex

41、ploring electrode, a signal return cable connection, and wire. The detector shall be equipped witha visual or audible indicator, or both.6.1.1 Electrical Energy SourceEither d-c or pulsating d-c type with the appropriate test voltage.6.1.2 Exploring ElectrodeA metal brush or conductive rubber strip,

42、 the full length of which shall be capable of maintainingcontinuous contact with the surface being inspected.6.1.3 Signal Return Cable, Wire, typically stranded 14 to 16 gage copper wire.6.1.4 Visual or Audible Indicators , Indicators, or both, to signal a closed electrical circuit. Such signals sha

43、ll be essential fortesting the underlayment for electrical conductivity and for exposing discontinuities in the lining after it has been applied.6.1.5 High Voltage Pulsating DC Spark TesterA device used to locate discontinuities where electrical pulses are generatingbetween 20 and 60 cps. Each pulse

44、 is on for a period of time between 20 and 200 s.6.1.6 High Voltage Continuous DC Spark TesterA device used to locate discontinuities where the voltage is continuouslypresent on the surface of the protective coating.7. Hazards7.1 Solvents retained in the applied underlayment or lining may create an

45、explosive environment with the high voltage testersas well as produce an erroneous result.8. Conductive Underlayments8.1 The conductive underlayment shall not rely on the concrete substrates electrical properties.8.2 The specified lining shall be compatible with the specified conductive underlayment

46、.8.3 Application:8.3.1 The finished conductive underlayment surface shall be relatively smooth. The conductive underlayment shall beconsidered part of the lining system and must be installed in accordance with the manufacturers latest published instructions.D4787 1348.3.2 Visually verify that the co

47、nductive underlayment covers the entire area to be lined. Breaks at expansion joints andconstruction joints are allowable unless otherwise specified.8.4 Verification of Underlayment Conductivity:8.4.1 The surface of the applied conductive underlayment shall be clean, dry, free of oil, grease, dirt,

48、or other contaminants andbe sufficiently cured in accordance with the manufacturers latest published instructions at the time the conductivity testing isperformed. (WarningSee Section 7.)8.4.2 Verify the operation of the test instrument in accordance with Section 9.8.4.3 Adjust the high-voltage test

49、 instrument in accordance with Section 11.8.4.4 Connect the test instrument to the installed underlayment or other appropriate ground using the signal return cable. Ifelectrical isolation across an expansion joint is encountered, the signal return cable must be moved to an appropriate ground in thesame section being tested.8.4.5 Place the exploring electrode on a nonconductive spacer so that an air gap between the surface of the underlayment andthe e
