Vitreous and porcelain enamels - Terminology - Part 1: Terms and definitions (ISO 19496-1:2017)

This European Standard defines a number of terms relating to vitreous and porcelain enamels and their technology. This list is not complete and only comprises those terms for which the definition is considered necessary for correct and adequate understanding in order to clarify these processes.
It should be understood that the interpretations given are those corresponding to the practical usage in this field and that they do not necessarily coincide with those used in other fields.
For purposes of clarification, the term Vitreous Enamel, used throughout this European Standard, is synonymous with Porcelain Enamel, the term favoured in the United States and some other countries.

Emails und Emaillierungen - Terminologie - Teil 1: Begriffe (ISO 19496-1:2017)

Diese Europäische Norm definiert eine Reihe von Begriffen, die Emails und Emaillierungen sowie zugehörige Technologien betreffen. Die Auflistung der Begriffe ist nicht vollständig und umfasst nur die Begriffe, deren Definition für ein richtiges und ausreichendes Verständnis als notwendig erachtet wird, um die betreffenden Prozesse zu erläutern.
Es sollte berücksichtigt werden, dass die angeführten Erläuterungen praxisnah für das Gebiet der Emails und Emaillierungen sind und dass sie nicht zwangsläufig denen entsprechen, die auf anderen Gebieten verwendet werden.
Zur besseren Übersichtlichkeit steht der englischsprachige Begriff „vitreous enamel“, der in dem (englisch-sprachigen) Dokument durchgängig verwendet wird, gleichbedeutend für den in den Vereinigten Staaten und einigen anderen Ländern bevorzugt verwendeten Begriff „porcelain enamel“.

Emaux vitrifiés - Terminologie - Partie 1: Termes et définitions (ISO 19496-1:2017)

ISO 19496-1:2017 définit un certain nombre de termes relatifs aux émaux vitrifiés et à leur technologie. La liste n'est pas exhaustive et ne comprend que les termes dont la définition est considérée comme nécessaire à la bonne compréhension, afin de clarifier ces processus.
Les interprétations données sont celles qui correspondent à l'usage pratique dans ce domaine, et qu'elles ne coïncident pas nécessairement avec celles d'autres domaines.
À titre de clarification, le terme anglais «vitreous enamel», utilisé dans tout le présent document, est synonyme du terme anglais «porcelain enamel», qui est le terme usité aux États-Unis et dans certains pays.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

defect resembling a streak of thicker or thinner enamel (3.255)
Note 1 to entry: Drain lines result from the flow of excess enamel after dipping.
3.86
drain time
time required for vitreous enamel slip applied by dipping (3.78) (3.79), slushing (3.226), or flow coating
(3.119) to complete its movement across the surfaces of a coated part
3.87
draining
removal of excess vitreous enamel slip from the ware after dipping (3.78) (3.79), slushing (3.226) or flow
coating (3.119)
3.88
dredge
sieve used to apply powdered vitreous enamel frit to hot ware in dry process enamelling (3.90)
3.89
dry milling
dry grinding
milling/grinding of vitreous enamel materials in the absence of liquid
3.90
dry process enamelling
process whereby cast iron components are heated to a temperature above the maturing temperature of
the vitreous enamel (3.255), then coated with vitreous enamel powder by hot dusting (3.139)/dredging
(3.139) or dipping (3.78) (3.79) and subsequently fired
3.91
dry spray
appearance of a rough sandy texture on spray coated ware
Note 1 to entry: Dry spray is the result of not wetting out the wet sprayed surface.
3.92
dry weight
weight of the vitreous enamel bisque per unit area
Note 1 to entry: See dip weight (3.77).
3.93
drying crack
defect characterized as a fissure in the bisque (3.20), visible after firing (3.111)
3.94
dulling
lustreless finish to the vitreous enamelled surface
3.95
dust coat
relatively thin, sprayed coating of vitreous enamel slip

3.96
easy-to-clean enamel
ETC enamel
vitreous enamel (3.255) specifically formulated to allow the easy removal of food soil deposits from
its surface
Note 1 to entry: ETC enamel needs to be neither pyrolytic nor catalytic.
3.97
edging
process of removing vitreous enamel bisque from the edge of a piece of ware to expose the underlying
vitreous enamel (3.255)
Note 1 to entry: Edging is also used to describe the spraying of special slip onto the edge of the ware.
3.98
edging brush
stiff bristled brush with a metal guide, used for removal of vitreous enamel bisque from edges of ware
before the firing operation
3.99
eggshell
fused vitreous enamel surface exhibiting a smooth, matt texture, reminiscent of an egg shell
Note 1 to entry: In sanitary ware, it is a defect.
3.100
electrophoretic deposition
deposition of vitreous enamel particles onto a work-piece from an enamel slip under the influence of an
applied direct current voltage
3.101
electrostatic dry powder application
process in which the component is coated by electrostatically charged vitreous enamel powder
3.102
electrostatic wet application
process in which the component is coated by electrostatically charged vitreous enamel slip
3.103
enamelling aluminium
aluminium suitable for use as a metallic substrate for vitreous enamelling (3.256)
3.104
enamelling cast iron
cast iron suitable for use as a metallic substrate for vitreous enamelling (3.256)
3.105
enamelling iron
cold reduced low carbon steel, specifically produced as a metallic substrate for vitreous enamelling (3.256)
3.106
etched
loss of gloss (3.131) and/or roughening of the surface as a result of chemical attack
3.107
Faraday cage effect
defect resulting from poor penetration by charged enamel particles into
concave areas leading to thin spray and potentially to burn-off (3.31)

film strength
relative resistance of the vitreous enamel bisque to mechanical damage
Note 1 to entry: See cross-bend test (3.64).
3.109
fineness test
control test used to measure the degree to which a vitreous enamel frit has been milled in either the
wet or dry form, usually expressed in grams residue retained on a particular mesh sieve from a given
sample size
3.110
fire tool marks
burning tool marks
fire marks
pin marks
point marks
defect characterized by very small indentations similar in appearance to shallow pinholes (3.169)
Note 1 to entry: Fire tool marks may also appear on the surface opposite to the point of contact with the
supporting tool.
3.111
firing
controlled heat treatment of vitreous enamelled ware in a furnace, in order to fuse and develop the
coating’s desired properties
3.112
