Resistance to abrasion 1

[zimou888]

The Client Specification requires that laboratory test of Resistance to Abrasion (the loss of weight that shall not exceed 10 mg/1000 turns) be applied to 3PE coating for 24'' pipline.

Is the above test a regular practice because it sounds strange to me? The pipeline is normal underground , nothing special.

Thanks!

That's provided by the company that makes the coating itself.

Hi BigInch,

Thanks for your reply. My point is that is it a normal practice for manufacturer that applied the coating?

Thanks

The usual practice is for the coating manufacturer to hold a few common test certificates showing compliance with some relavent abbrasion resistance specs or coating industry standards in his files. The applicator will simply ask for a copy of the coating manufacturer's test certificate and forward that to the party requesting evidence of compliance.
