ASTM D5499-94(1999)

Standard Test Methods for Heat Resistance of Polymer Linings for Flue Gas Desulfurization Systems

SCOPE
1.1 This test method is intended to evaluate the resistance of polymer linings applied to carbon steel substrates to elevated temperatures. Two separate methods are included as follows: Test Method A Continuous elevated temperature exposure, and Test Method B Cycling elevated temperature exposure.  
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.
