5、 of Pipeline Coatings on Steel(Withdrawn2013)33.Summary of Method3.1 The method consists of bending a 33.4-mm(1-in.nominal)diameter specimen of coated pipe around a mandrelto produce a range of short-radius bends.Coating failure in theform of cracking or loss of adhesion is detected through visualan
6、d electrical inspection of the bent specimen.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test will provide information on the ability ofcoatings applied to pipe to resist cracking,disbonding,or othermechanical damage as a result of bending.Because the test isapplied to coated pipe from commercial production,the
7、resultscan be directly used in the selection of similar materials forservice.The test also has application as a quality controlmethod when variations in coating application or materialformulation will affect bending performance.5.Apparatus5.1 The bending apparatus shall be essentially as shown inFig
8、s.1-3 and shall include the following:5.1.1 Variable-Radius Mandrel,constructed from four19-mm(0.75-in.)thick pieces of plywood,bolted together andconforming to the geometric shape shown in Fig.1.Thegeometric construction is accomplished by laying out along theouter edge of the mandrel a series of s
9、even consecutive arcs atdecreasing radii of 610,530,460,380,300,and 230 mm(24,21,18,15,12,and 9 in.).The first five arcs shall be carriedthrough a 45-deg angle to the next point of tangency.A 45-degV-notch shall be cut into the edge of the mandrel for seating thepipe specimen.Holes shall be drilled
10、at appropriate locations inthe mandrel face for positioning the lever arm and fasteningpipe clamps.5.1.2 Lever Arm-Roller AssemblyA 1.83-m(72-in.)leverarm with nylon roller supplies the mechanical advantagenecessary to bend the pipe specimen.The lever arm shallcontain a series of holes which are use
11、d to maintain properclearance between the roller and pipe sample during thebending operation.5.2 Thickness GageMeasurements of coating thicknesswill be required for this test.This shall be done in accordancewith Test Method G12.5.3 Holiday DetectorA low-voltage d-c holiday detectorof the wet-sponge
12、type,specified in Test Method G6,shall beused to locate breaks in the coating film.6.Test Specimens6.1 The test specimen should be 2.5 m(100 in.)in length.Itshould be representative of production-coated pipe and be freeof obvious coating flaws or defects.Coating specimens shall beapplied to 33.4-mm(
13、1-in.nominal)diameter pipe.7.Conditioning7.1 The specimen shall be exposed to room temperature fora sufficient time to ensure thermal equilibrium in the pipe and1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D01 on Paintand Related Coatings,Materials,and Applications and is the direct
