What is ISO 8289-2-Vitreous and porcelain enamels about?
The ISO 8289 series is an International Standard that covers vitreous and porcelain enamels. The main purpose of ISO 8289 is to provide low-voltage test methods for detecting and locating defects.
ISO 8289-2 is the second part of the series that specifies a low-voltage test method for detecting and locating defects that occur in enamel coatings of corrugated and/or undulated profiles and that extend down to the metal base.
The method is based on color effects (optical method) and is applicable to the precise detection of defects and their exact position. It can be used for non-flat, more profiled shapes such as corrugated or undulated surfaces.
Note: The low-voltage test is a non-destructive test for detecting defects extending down to the metal base and is, therefore, completely different in comparison to the high-voltage test in accordance with ISO 2746.
Who is ISO 8289-2-Vitreous and porcelain enamels for?
ISO 8289-2 on vitreous and porcelain enamels is useful for:
- Manufacturers Industrial porcelain enamel
- Manufacturers of laboratory equipment
- Manufacturers of kitchenware and appliances
- Manufacturers of bathroom fixtures
- Jewelry Manufacturers
Why should you use ISO 8289-2-Vitreous and porcelain enamels?
Vitreous enamel, often known as porcelain enamel, is a substance created by burning powdered glass onto a substrate. The powder melts, flows, and hardens to form a smooth, long-lasting vitreous covering.
ISO 8289-2 specifies an optical method for precise detection of defects and pinpointing their location. Non-flat, more contoured shapes, such as corrugated or undulated surfaces, can also be employed.
The best industry guidance in ISO 8289-2 can help you in the detection and location of defects that occur in enamel coatings which improves the quality and durability of enamel coating on corrugated and/or undulated products.
