Significance and Use4.1 This test method is intended to measure the erosion ratesof ablative antifouling paint systems exposed to flowing waterat velocities designed to subject the paint system to shearst

9、resses experienced in service.4.2 Measurement of erosion rates are necessary to help inthe assessment of ablative antifouling paint film thicknessesrequired for fouling control between scheduled drydockings ofships, in the selection of materials, in producing qualityassurance, and in understanding t

10、he performance mechanism.4.3 The test data is intended to serve as a guide forpredicting the service life of ablative antifouling paints in orderto calculate the necessary paint thickness to fit specifieddeployment cycles. Erosion rates of antifouling paints inservice will vary depending on such fac

11、tors as: berthinglocation, geographic area of operation, salinity, pH, and tem-perature of seawater. It should also be recognized that someareas of the ship are subject to different erosion rates.4.4 The degree of correlation between results obtained fromthis test method and shipboard service has no

12、t been deter-mined.5. Apparatus5.1 Water Channel:5.1.1 High velocity flowing water in a contained channel,similar to the type shown in Figs. 1-3, is used to inducehydrodynamic shear stresses on painted panels to determineerosion rates of ablative antifouling paints.5.1.2 The basic apparatus consists

13、 of a four-walled channel,rectangular in cross section, through which natural seawaterflows at varying linear velocities to simulate ships speeds.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings, Materials, and Applications and is the direct responsibili
