ASTM D5065-95

Standard Guide for Assessing the Condition of Aged Coatings on Steel Surfaces

SCOPE
1.1 This guide describes general procedures for conducting a detailed assessment of the condition of aged coatings on steel structures and the extent of rust breakthrough of the coated surface. Additional assessment may be required to support coating failure analyses or other job specific needs.
1.2 This guide does not address the problem of determining the structural condition of a steel substrate. It provides procedures to determine the percent of the surface rusted, but not the severity, condition, or cause of such rusting.
Note 1--A more comprehensive condition assessment procedure, Practice F 1133, based upon two sets of visual standards, one for level and one for extent of deterioration, has been developed for determining the condition of coatings on ship hulls.
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.
