The quality control of the corrosion protection
2004
Do you know of a standard (European or American) for the quality control of the corrosion protection (hot galvanizing, painting or zinc plating with bichromate) on steel pipes and pieces? I mean the controls to carry out externally - not by the manufacture - on site at the reception of the components.
Thanks for your help.

Theoretically the same quality control used by the manufacturer would have to be followed by the buyer (or vice versa) in order to make a wise comparison and take a fair action. Measuring in a different way or using a different standard only causes trouble and disputes. That's what ISO standards intend to do.

Try British Standard 729 . It should have it.
