[Current]Site testing of protective coatings, Method 1: Non-conductive coatings — Continuity testing — High voltage (brush) method
This Standard provides a practical test method for the on-site determination of the presence of pinholes, holidays, cracks and other discontinuities that penetrate to the substrate, in a non-conductive, protective coating of at least 150 µm thickness on a conductive substrate, using the high voltage or ‘brush’ method.
