Standard Practice for Applying Coil Coatings Using Wire-Wound Drawdown Bars

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This practice is useful in the laboratory to simulate roll-coated films.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers a procedure for applying a coil coating film of uniform thickness on a flat metal panel using wire-wound drawdown bars.  
1.2 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
