10 3.3 Pinhole detection Pinhole detection was performed on the coated test panel before the tank exposure. The detection was carried out by means of an Elcometer 269 Pinhole detector at 90 volts. The results from the pinhole detection are presented in Table 6. 4 EXPOSURE The exposure in the simulated ballast wave, condensation chamber and heating cabinet was carried out according to the IMO Performance Standard for Protective Coatings /1/. The exposure was started and terminated PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION The density of each component of the coating system as described in Table 3 was determined by means of an Erichsen Mod. 290/1 pyknometer based on ISO /5/. Furthermore, IR spectra of all components were recorded on a Nicolet Protégé 460 FT-IR spectrometer. The results from the paint identification are listed in Table 5 and Appendix B respectively.

26 Table C5 Cathodic protection Cathodic disbondment [mm] 12) Zinc anode weight loss [g] Current demand [ma/m 2 ] 13) ) Assess loss of adhesion at the artificial holiday by using a sharp knife to make two cuts through the coating to the substrates, intersection at the holiday. With the point of the knife, attempt to lift and peel back the coating from around the holiday. Record whether the adhesion of the coating to the substrate has been reduced and the approximate distance, in millimetres, that the coating can be peeled. (From ISO 15711:2003 /5/) Additionally IACS interpretation of IMO PSPC: Repeat the cutting and lifting all around the artificial holiday to find the maximum loss of adhesion. Disbonding from artificial holiday can be either loss of adhesion to the steel substrate or between the shop primer and the epoxy coating and shall be less than 8 mm for epoxy based systems to be acceptable (compatibility test). Cohesive adhesion failure in the shop primer is not to be included as part of the loss of adhesion. (From IACS Rec. No. 101 /7/) 13) Exposure time: 119 days submerged in natural seawater during total 180 days of cyclic exposure as defined in /1/ Utilisation factor: 0.8 Consumption rate for Zn-anodes: 11.3 kg/a year Table C6 Undercutting from scribes Panel Undercutting from scribes [mm] 14) W1 2 W3 1.5 W4 1.5 Average ) Rinse the test panel with fresh water immediately after exposure, [ ], and inspect for visible changes. Carefully remove any loose coating using a knife blade held at an angle, positioning the blade at the coating/ substrate interface and lifting the coating away from the substrate. (From ISO :2005, section /10/) Addionally IACS interpretation: Undercutting from scribe can be either corrosion of the steel substrate or delamination between the shop primer and the epoxy coating (compatibility test). For PSPC maximum width is used (MSC.215(82), Appendix 1, section 2.2.6). The average of three maximum records of three panels with scribe is used for acceptance. Cohesive adhesion failure in the shop primer is not to be included as part of the delamination. (From IACS Rec. No. 101 /7/) Table C7 Flexibility (for information only) Panel Diameter of Mandrel [mm] 15) Elongation [%] 16) Comments W Many small cracks was observed R Many small cracks was observed 15) Maximum diameter of mandrel for which any cracking in the coating occurs 16) Calculated respectively to the diameter of the mandrel for which any cracking occurs.
