Summary of Test Method4.1

10、 The antifouling coatings to be tested and a controlcoating are applied to steel panels and exposed in naturalseawater at a site where the fouling rate is high. The exposureconsists of alternate static and dynamic cycles of typically 30days each for a total length of time to be specified (such as on

11、eor two years) or until some selected degree of fouling isreached. The static exposure is conducted in accordance withTest Method D 3623 except that the panels are smaller and arepreformed to fit a rotating drum. The dynamic exposureconsists of subjecting the test panels to a shear stress byrotating

12、 the drum underwater at some specified revolution rate;typically, that rate that gives a peripheral speed of 15 knots (7.6m/s). See Note 1 for an example. Photographs and filmthickness measurements (made in accordance with Test Meth-ods D 1186) are taken before exposure to seawater and, alongwith fo

13、uling ratings, at intervals during exposure.NOTE 1Consider antifouling paint for a ship about 500 ft in lengththat cruises at about 20 knots. From Table 2, the column for 20 knotsshows the hydrodynamic shear stress, t varying from 2.01 to 1.40 lbf/ft2over a flat plate with approximately the same len

Because t for the plate (and ships) decreases from the leading tothe traili

18、ng edge, it is considered adequate to select t for the drum as theapproximate midrange of the plate values matched to the length andcruising speed of the vessels of interest.5. Significance and Use5.1 Effective antifouling coatings are essential for the reten-tion of speed and reduction of operating

19、 costs of ships. This testmethod is designed as a screening test to evaluate antifoulingcoating systems under conditions of hydrodynamic stresscaused by water flow alternated with static exposure to afouling environment. A dynamic test is necessary because ofthe increasing availability of AF coating

20、s that are designed toablate in service to expose a fresh antifouling surface. Becauseno ship is underway continually, a static exposure phase isincluded to give fouling microorganisms the opportunity toattach under static conditions. After an initial 30-day staticexposure, alternated 30-day dynamic

21、 and static exposures arerecommended as a standard cycle. The initial static exposure isselected to represent vessels coming out of drydock and sittingpierside while work is being completed. This gives the painttime to lose any remaining solvents, complete curing, absorbwater, and, in general, stabi

22、lize to the in-water environment.5.2 This test method is intended to provide a comparisonwith a control antifouling coating of known performance inprotecting underwater portions of ships hulls. This test methodgives an indication of the performance and anticipated servicelife of antifouling coatings

23、 for use on seagoing vessels.However, the degree of correlation between this test methodand service performance has not been determined.6. Apparatus6.1 Rotating Drum AssemblyThe basic system consists ofa rotating drum assembly as shown in Fig. 1. The drumdiameter and rotational rate shall be calcula

24、ted to give thedesired hydrodynamic shear stress. The drum diameter shall benot less than 18 in. (460 mm).6.2 PanelsThe panels shall be made from medium low-carbon steel plate in accordance with Specification A 569/A 569M, 3 mm thick by 80 to 150 by 180 to 250 mm (18 in.thick by 3 to 6 by 7 to 10 in

25、.) curved to fit the drum surface asshown in Fig. 2. Panel length must be selected in order toprevent gaps greater than 1.6 mm (116 in.).6.3 Static Exposure RackThe static exposure rack shallprovide firm positioning of the specimen panels so that thecoated surfaces are held vertically in place in sp

26、ite of thecurrent and are electrically insulated from metallic contact withthe rack or other panels. The rack shall be so positioned that theprevailing tidal currents move parallel to the panel face, andthe panels are immersed to a depth of a minimum of 0.3 m (1ft) and a maximum of 3 m (10 ft). In a

27、 rack where panels arestacked front to back, they should be spaced at least 64 mm(212 in.) apart, with the two end positions filled with blankpanels. In a rack where the panels are mounted side by side, thedistance between adjacent panels should be not less than 13mm (12 in.).7. Materials7.1 Control

The application procedure is to be

33、inaccordance with the manufacturers instructions.8. Hazards8.1 Antifouling paints contain toxic materials that couldcause skin and eye irritation on contact and adverse physiologi-cal effects if ingested or inhaled. In the preparation of panelsand the application of various types of antifouling pain

35、 the required number of panels (sixpanels for each coating system being tested) to near whitemetal (Grade Sa 212 of Pictorial Standard D 2200) to obtain aprofile from 1 to 1.5 mils (25 to 40 m).9.2 On the clean, dry, uncontaminated, blast-cleaned surfaceapply to each standard panel one coat of epoxy

36、 polyamideprimer conforming to MIL-P-24441 to give a dry film thick-ness of approximately 3 mils (75 m). After about 24 h, (fortemperatures above 70F and below 90F), apply a second coatof the primer to the panels. After a second 24-h period, applythe third coating of primer to give a total dry film

37、thickness ofapproximately 9 mils (230 m).9.3 Apply the vinyl antifouling coating conforming toMIL-P-15931B before the final coat of epoxy paint hashardened. The epoxy should be slightly tacky when the firstcoat of the topcoat is applied. If the epoxy is hard (usually after8 h) apply a tack or mist c

38、oat of 1 to 2 mils wet film thicknessand allow to dry to a slightly tacky state before applying thefirst coat of the topcoat. Allowing a minimum of 2 h and amaximum of 24 h drying after the first coat, apply the secondcoat of the antifouling coating conforming to MIL-P-15931Bto give a nominal dry fi

39、lm thickness of the antifouling paint of4 mils (100 m).9.4 Before immersion, permit the second coat of antifoulingcoating to dry a minimum of 24 h or until fully cured inaccordance with the manufacturers recommendations and amaximum of one month, the latter time allowing for shippingthe panels to th

40、e immersion site. Measure dry film thickness atten locations on the panel in accordance with Test MethodsD 1186 prior to immersion at the site. To accurately locate thethickness measurement locations on the panels for repeatedmeasurements, use a mask with two rows of five holes equallyspaced over th

41、e surface.9.5 Exposure consists of alternating static and dynamicphases at an immersion site with a high incidence of fouling(that is fouling resistance of 50 % or less determined inaccordance with Test Method D 3623) as indicated by attach-ments to a dark nontoxic surface such as slate.9.5.1 Place

42、the panels on the stationary exposure racks,handling them only by the edges, and expose them in accor-dance with Test Method D 3623. Static exposure may beaccomplished by leaving the panels attached to the drum andnot rotating it. The time the panels are out of the water must bekept to a minimum. Wh

43、en any panels are removed from thestationary racks or the rotating drum, they are to be kept incontainers of seawater except during actual rating, photogra-phy, or thickness measurement. If the time out of water exceeds10 min, this fact should be recorded and reported.9.5.2 Subject the test panels t

44、o dynamic exposure by mount-ing them on the drum and rotating it at a peripheral speedcalculated from the values and formulas given in Table 1 andTables 2 as agreed upon between the parties concerned.9.6 Evaluate the antifouling panels for surface fouling andphysical condition of the film system at

45、the end of eachexposure or as agreed upon between the parties concerned.Record the evaluation on the report form in Fig. 3.9.6.1 Fouling on SurfaceRate the fouling present on thatportion of the antifouling test surface that is intact at the timeof inspection in accordance with Test Method D 3623.
