Metallic coatings - Hot dip galvanized coatings on fabricated iron and steel articles - Specifications and test methods
1 Scope
This standard specifies the specifications and test methods for hot dip galvanized coatings on fabricated iron and steel articles. After-treatment/over-coating of hot dip galvanized articles is not covered in this standard.
This standard is applicable to hot dip galvanized coatings (containing not more than 2% of other metals) on fabricated iron and steel articles (including certain castings). It is not applicable to the following:
a) sheet, wire and woven or welded mesh products that are continuously hot dip galvanized;
b) tube and pipe that are hot dip galvanized in automatic plants;
c) hot dip galvanized products (e.g. fasteners) for which specific standards exist and which might include additional requirements or requirements which are different from those of this standard.
Note: Individual product standards may incorporate this standard for the coating by quoting its number, or may incorporate it with modifications specific to the product. Different requirements may also be made for galvanized coatings on products intended to meet specific regulatory requirements.
