What is BS EN 17393 about?
BS EN 17393 specifies the procedure for the determination of coating strength, and hence of cohesive strength in a tubular coating tensile test.
The test specified in BS EN 17393 is intended to determine the tensile coating strength parallel to the spray layers (normal to the spray direction) and to identify differences in particle cohesion quality, as caused by defects such as internal delamination at cracks or oxides between the spray particles or splats.
The tubular coating tensile test is suitable for sprayed coatings deposited using metallic materials (not carbides and ceramics).
Note: The tubular coating tensile test is not suitable for fused sprayed coatings deposited using self-fluxing alloys.
