Resistance to abrasion

Resistance to abrasion

Resistance to abrasion

(OP)
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!

RE: Resistance to abrasion

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

RE: Resistance to abrasion

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.
