16、he existence of discontinuities in coatingfilms having a total thickness of 0.5 mm (20 mil) or less. Highvoltage spark test equipment is generally used for determiningthe existences of discontinuities in coating films having a totalthickness of greater than 0.5 mm (20 mil).4.4 Coatings that are appl

17、ied at a thickness of less than 0.5mm (20 mil) may be susceptible to damage if tested with highvoltage spark testing equipment. Consult the coating manufac-turer for proper test equipment and inspection voltages.4.5 To prevent damage to a coating film when using highvoltage test instrumentation, tot

18、al film thickness and dielectricstrength in a coating system shall be considered in selecting theappropriate voltage for detection of discontinuities. Atmo-spheric conditions shall also be considered since the voltagerequired for the spark to gap a given distance in air varies withthe conductivity o

20、adequately dryor cure the applied coating film prior to testing. Solventsretained in an uncured coating film may form an electricallyconductive path through the film to the substrate.4.6.2 Determine whether the coating contains electricallyconductive fillers or pigments that may affect the normaldie

21、lectric properties.4.7 This practice is intended for use with new coatingsapplied to metal substrates. Its use on a coating previouslyexposed to an immersion condition has often resulted indamage to the coating and has produced erroneous detection ofdiscontinuities due to permeation or moisture abso

22、rption of thecoating. Deposits may also be present on the surface causingtelegraphing (current traveling through a moisture path to adiscontinuity, giving an erroneous indication) or current leak-age across the surface of the coating due to contamination. Theuse of a high voltage tester on previousl

Generally, thisequipment is incapable of being recalibrated in the field by theuser.5.2 Procedure:5.2.1 Sufficient drying or c

35、uring of the coating shall beallowed prior to conducting a test. The length of time requiredshall be obtained from the coating manufacturer. Solventsretained in the coating film could produce erroneous indicators.5.2.2 The surface shall be clean, dry, and free of oil, dirt andother contaminates. Mea

36、sure the film thickness of the coatingwith a nondestructive dry film thickness gage. If the coatingfilm exceeds 0.5 mm (20 mil), use the procedures for highvoltage spark testing described in Test Method B, High VoltageSpark Testing.5.2.3 Test the instrument for sensitivity in accordance with5.3.5.2.

37、4 Attach the signal return wire from the instrumentterminal to the metallic substrate and ensure a good electricalcontact.5.2.5 Attach the exploring sponge lead to the other terminal.5.2.6 Wet the sponge with a solution consisting of tap waterand a low sudsing wetting agent, combined at a ratio of n

38、otmore than12 fluid oz of wetting agent to 1 gal water. Anexample of a low sudsing wetting agent is one used inphotographic development. The sponge shall be wetted suffi-ciently to barely avoid dripping of the solution while thesponge is moved over the coating. The wetting agent residuemust be remov

39、ed prior to executing repairs to the coating.5.2.7 Sodium chloride (salt) shall not be added to thewetting solution because of the potential erroneous indicationsof discontinuities. The salt, after drying on the coated surface,may form a continuous path of conductivity across the surface.It will als

40、o interfere with intercoat adhesion of additional coats.5.2.8 Contact a bare spot on the conductive substrate withthe wetted sponge to verify that the instrument is properlyconnected. This procedure shall be repeated periodically dur-ing the test.5.2.9 For open areas move the sponge over the surface

41、 ofthe coating at a moderate rate, with a maximum rate of 0.3 m/s(1 ft/s), using a double pass over each area. For internal pipecoatings a single pass is appropriate as a double pass could leadto telegraphing and false positives. Apply sufficient pressure tomaintain a wet surface. If a discontinuity

42、 is detected, turn thesponge on end to determine the exact location of the discon-tinuity. Improved accuracy of location can be achieved using acorner of the sponge if practical. It should be noted that thedetection of pinholes depends on the migration of the moisturein to the holes and therefore th

43、e sponge may have to be movedover the surface at a slower rate to maximize detection,particularly for small holes in thicker coatings.5.2.10 Discontinuities that require repair shall be identifiedwith a marker that is compatible with the repair coating or onethat is easily removed. Marking the defec

44、ts with making tape isacceptable providing the tape adhesive does not affect thesubsequent repair.5.2.11 To prevent telegraphing take care to ensure that thesolution is wiped dry from a previously detected discontinuitywhere possible before continuing the test.5.2.12 The wetting agent must be comple

45、tely removed byrinsing the holiday area prior to repair.5.2.13 Wet sponge holiday detection is not recommendedbetween coats of a multicoat system. However, when a test isconducted between coats of a multicoat system, a wetting agentshall not be used and all residue left by the test water must becomp

46、letely removed prior to applying additional coats.5.3 Verifying Operation of Equipment:5.3.1 The instrument shall be tested for sensitivity prior toinitial use and periodically thereafter, in accordance with theequipment manufacturers instructions.5.3.2 Test the battery for proper voltage output. Re

48、l return wire alligator clip to the wettedsponge. The instrument signal should signal in accordance withthe instrument manufacturers instructions.5.3.7 If the instrument should fail to signal, it shall beconsidered defective.5.4 Verifying Instrument Calibration:5.4.1 Verify instrument calibration in

49、 accordance with themanufacturers latest published instructions. If out ofcalibration, the instrument shall be calibrated in accordancewith the instrument manufacturers latest publishedinstructions, or returned for calibration.
