Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products - Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 3: Assessment of dust on steel surfaces prepared for painting (pressure-sensitive tape method) (ISO 8502-3:2017)

This part of ISO 8502 describes a method for the assessment of dust remaining on cleaned steel surfaces
prepared for painting. It provides pictorial ratings for the assessment of the average quantity of dust. It
also provides descriptive classes for the assessment of the average size of the dust particles.
The method described is a qualitative test useful for a steel surface, before cleaning, corresponding
to rust grade A, B or C as defined in ISO 8501-1. It can be used as a “pass/fail” test or to provide a
permanent record of the dust present on a surface.
NOTE The quantity ratings and size classes referred to in this part of ISO 8502 are derived from ISO 4628-1.

Vorbereitung von Stahloberflächen vor dem Auftragen von Beschichtungsstoffen - Prüfungen zum Beurteilen der Oberflächenreinheit - Teil 3: Beurteilung von Staub auf für das Beschichten vorbereiteten Stahloberflächen (Klebeband-Verfahren) (ISO 8502-3:2017)

1.1   Dieser Teil von ISO 8502 beschreibt ein Verfahren zum Beurteilen von Staub auf gereinigten Stahloberflächen, die zum Beschichten vorbereitet sind. Er enthält Bilder für die Bewertung der durchschnittlichen Staubmenge und Beschreibungen für die Bewertung der durchschnittlichen Partikelgröße des Staubes.
ANMERKUNG 1   Die Mengen- und Größenbewertungen in diesem Teil von ISO 8502 sind aus ISO 4628 1, Paints and varnishes - Evaluation of degradation of coatings - Designation of quantity and size of defects, and of intensity of uniform changes in appearance - Part 1: General introduction and designation system abgeleitet.
1.2   Das Verfahren kann durchgeführt werden
entweder
a)   als "ja/nein"-Prüfung durch Bewerten der Staubmenge auf einer Prüffläche und der durchschnittlichen Partikelgröße des Staubes, im Vergleich mit bestimmten Grenzwerten;
oder
b)   auf einer Oberfläche vorhandenen Staub zu dokumentieren, indem die für die Prüfung benutzten Klebebänder auf Kacheln, Karton oder Papier von geeigneter Kontrastfarbe aufgeklebt werden.
1.3   Das Verfahren eignet sich zum Beurteilen von Staub, der nach der Reinigung auf einer Stahloberfläche zurückbleibt, die vor dem Reinigen Rostgrad A, B oder C nach ISO 8501-1 hatte. Wegen seiner begrenzten Verformbarkeit kann das Klebeband nicht in die Vertiefungen einer gereinigten Stahloberfläche eindringen, die ursprünglich Rostgrad D hatte.
1.4   Obwohl ein Prüfverfahren subjektiv ist, bei dem mit dem Daumen auf ein Band gedrückt wird, reicht dieses Verfahren meistens aus, insbesondere, wenn staubfreie Oberflächen gefordert werden. In Streitfällen, ausgenommen bei einem ursprünglichen Rostgrad C oder D, kann das Klebeband mit einer durch Federkraft belasteten Walze angedrückt werden.

Préparation des subjectiles d'acier avant application de peintures et de produits assimilés - Essais pour apprécier la propreté d'une surface - Partie 3: Évaluation de la poussière sur les surfaces d'acier préparées pour la mise en peinture (méthode du ruban adhésif sensible à la pression) (ISO 8502-3:2017)

ISO 8502-3:2017 décrit une méthode d'évaluation de la poussière restant sur des surfaces d'acier nettoyées préparées pour la mise en peinture. Elle fournit des caractéristiques illustrées pour l'évaluation de la quantité moyenne de poussière. Elle fournit également des catégories descriptives pour l'évaluation de la dimension moyenne des particules de poussière.
La méthode décrite est un essai qualitatif utile pour une surface d'acier rouillée qui correspond avant le décapage aux degrés de rouille A, B ou C, tels que définie dans l'ISO 8501‑1. Elle peut être utilisée en tant qu'essai «tout ou rien» ou pour fournir un enregistrement permanent de la poussière présente sur une surface.

Ta del standarda ISO 8502 opisuje metodo za oceno količine prahu, preostale na očiščenih jeklenih površinah, pripravljenih za barvanje. Določa slikovne stopnje za oceno povprečne količine prahu. Določa tudi opisne razrede za oceno povprečne velikosti delcev prahu.
Opisana metoda je kvalitativni preskus, uporaben za jeklene površine pred čiščenjem, ki ustreza
razredom zarjavelosti A, B ali C, kot je opredeljeno v standardu ISO 8501-1. Uporablja se lahko kot preskus »ustreznosti/neustreznosti« ali za trajni zapis količine prahu na površini.
OPOMBA: Kvalitativne stopnje in razredi velikosti v tem delu standarda ISO 8502 izhajajo iz standarda ISO 4628-1.

Introduction
The performance of protective coatings of paint and related products applied to steel is significantly
affected by the state of the steel surface immediately prior to painting. The principal factors that are
known to influence this performance are as follows:
a) presence of rust and mill scale;
b) presence of surface contaminants, including salts, dust, oils and greases;
c) surface profile.
The ISO 8501, ISO 8502 and ISO 8503 series of International Standards have been prepared to provide
methods of assessing these factors, while the ISO 8504 series provides guidance on the preparation
methods that are available for cleaning steel substrates, indicating the capabilities of each in attaining
specified levels of cleanliness.
These series of International Standards do not contain recommendations for the protective coating
systems to be applied to the steel surface. Neither do they contain recommendations for the surface
quality requirements for specific situations even though surface quality can have a direct influence on
the choice of protective coating to be applied and on its performance. Such recommendations are found
in other documents such as n

Introduction
The performance of protective coatings of paint and related products applied to steel is significantly affected
by the state of the steel surface immediately prior to painting. The principal factors that are known to influence
this performance are
a) the presence of rust and mill scale,
b) the presence of surface contaminants, including salts, dust, oils and greases, and
c) the surface profile.
ISO 8501, ISO 8502 and ISO 8503 have been prepared to provide methods of assessing these factors, while
ISO 8504 provides guidance on the preparation methods that are available for cleaning steel substrates,
indicating the capabilities of each in attaining specified levels of cleanliness.
These International Standards do not contain recommendations for the protective coating systems to be
applied to the steel surface. Neither do they contain recommendations for the surface quality requirements for
specific situations even though surface quality can have a direct influence on the choice of protective coating
to be applied and on its performance. Such recommendations are found in other documents such as national
standards and codes of practice. It will be necessary for the users of these International Standards to ensure
that the qualities specified are
 compatible and appropriate both for the environmental conditions to which the steel will be exposed and
for the protective coating system to be used, and
 within the capability of the cleaning procedure specified.
The four International Standards referred to above deal with the following aspects of preparation of steel
substrates before application of paints and related products:
 ISO 8501 on visual assessment of surface cleanliness;
 ISO 8502 on tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness;
 ISO 8503 on surface roughness characteristics of blast-cleaned steel substrates;
 ISO 8504 on surface preparation methods.
Each of these International Standards is in turn divided into separate parts.
This part of ISO 8502 describes a procedure for the assessment, using a pressure-sensitive tape method, of
the quantity and the particle size of dust on steel surfaces prepared for painting.
In the painting schedule requirements of contractual documents giving details of surface preparation by blast-
cleaning, it is normally specified that all surfaces shall be free from surface contamination including oil,
grease, dirt, dust and water-soluble salts.
Dust on blast-cleaned steel surfaces can reduce the adhesion of subsequently applied organic coatings and,
by absorbing moisture, might promote the corrosion of the blast-cleaned steel surfaces. Accumulation of dust
