Test methods for checking the zinc coating

A.1

Zinc mass per unit area

A.1.1

General

It shall be permissible to use either of two methods to determine the zinc mass per unit area:

the chemical dissolution method, which is a destructive method;

the magnetic coating thickness measurement method, which is a non-destructive method and is
frequently easier to use.

In case of dispute, the only valid results shall be those obtained by the chemical dissolution method.
A.1.2

Chemical dissolution method

A.1.2.1

Principle

The zinc mass deposited on a sample with a given area shall be determined by taking the difference between
the mass of the coated sample and the mass of the sample after dissolution of the zinc in a solution of
hydrochloric acid and hexamethylentetramina.
A.1.2.2

Sample

A sample of length given in Table A.1 shall be used. Both ends of the sample shall be cut before testing in
order to avoid galvanized faces.

Reagent (Hydrochloric acid- hexamethylentetramina chloride solution)

3,6 g of hexamethylentetramina have to be dissolved into 500 ml of hydrochloric acid (density 1,19 g/l) and
then diluted up to 1000 ml with distilled water.
A.1.2.4

Apparatus

The balance for determining the mass of samples shall have a precision at least equal to 1 % of the assumed
mass of the coating.
A.1.2.5

Procedure

Degrease the sample with an appropriate organic solvent.

Dry the sample.

Determine the mass of the sample; its mass is denoted Mz.

Dip the sample in the hydrochloric acid-antimony chloride solution. The solution volume shall be at least 1
ml per square centimeter of the sample surface area.

Leave the sample immersed in the solution until the release of hydrogen stops, or until only a few bubbles
o
are released. The solution temperature shall not exceed 38 C.

After attack, the sample is washed, brushed under running water, wiped with a cloth and then dried.

Determine the mass of the sample again; its mass after dissolution is denoted M.

A.1.3
A.1.3.1

Magnetic method
General

The measurement of the coating thickness by magnetic method shall be carried out according to the general
requirements of EN ISO 2178.
A.1.3.2

Apparatus and calibration

No special type of instrument is recommended. It is essential to ensure that all instruments are in good
working condition and produce reproducible results by carrying out systematic calibrations with standard
sheets of thicknesses similar to those to be measured, even if the instrument readout is graduated in
micrometres according to EN ISO 2178.
This calibration shall be carried out using standard sheets placed on the uncoated base metal of the lot to be
inspected.
In order to plot a calibration curve (Figure A.1), at least three measurements of known thicknesses e1, e2, and
e3 are made on standard sheets using the instrument covering the range of thicknesses to be measured.
Obtain the corresponding readouts L1, L2, and L3, and plot the calibration curve T.
A thickness e is then obtained corresponding to each readout L of the instrument, as shown in Figure A. 1.

The manufacturer or his authorised representative established within the EEA is responsible for the affixing of
the CE marking. The CE marking symbol to affix shall be in accordance with Directive 93/68/EC and shall be
shown on the reinforcing steel (or when not possible it may be on the accompanying label, the packaging or
on the accompanying commercial documents e.g. a delivery note). The following information shall accompany
the CE marking symbol:
- identification number of the certification body
- name or identifying mark and registered address of the producer;
- the last two digits of the year in which the marking is affixed;
- number of the EC Certificate of conformity or factory production control certificate (if relevant);
- reference to this European Standard;
- description of the product: generic name, material, dimensions, and intended use;
- information on those relevant essential characteristics listed in table ZA.1 which are to be
