NACE TM0215-2015 PDF Download

The NACE TM0215-2015 standard outlines a procedure for determining the resistance of coating systems to shear scratch/indentation. The standard is specifically designed for coating systems used on buried ferrous metal pipelines. The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent and reliable test method for evaluating the performance of these coating systems under gouging conditions.

The standard includes detailed instructions and guidelines for conducting the gouge resistance test. It also provides illustrations, examples, and test samples to aid in the understanding and implementation of the methodology. This allows users to accurately measure and assess the performance of the coating systems in terms of their ability to withstand gouge-related damages.

The NACE TM0215-2015 standard is managed by Task Group (TG) 034, which ensures that the standard is regularly reviewed, updated, and maintained. This ensures that the test method remains relevant and up to date with the latest technological advancements and industry requirements.
