Scope

1.1 This test method establishes procedures for the evaluation of the chemical resistance of coatings used in light-water nuclear power plants.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use

The specific chemical resistance tests to be performed are dependent upon the relative severity of the service conditions. Fig. 1 lists some chemical solutions that may be applicable to nuclear power plants and may be considered for use in testing chemical resistance of coatings when applicable. Testing these, or other chemical solutions should not be construed as mandatory, but may be specified by the owner when desired.

The lining test may be used to evaluate the resistance characteristics of coating systems for lining surfaces of tanks, vessels and similar facilities used in a light-water nuclear power plant.
