Vitreous and porcelain enamels - High voltage test (ISO 2746:2015)

ISO 2746:2015 describes two test methods of high voltage testing:
-      Test A is used to detect and locate defects in vitreous and porcelain enamels;
-      Test B is used to detect and locate defects and weak spots in vitreous and porcelain enamels.
The tests are performed using DC or pulsed DC high voltage.
The tests are applicable to dry surfaces of enamel coatings. In the case of moist surfaces, care should be taken to ensure that the locating of any defects is correctly performed.
Since test voltages depend on the coating thickness, the test method, especially with test A, may not be suitable for test specimens for which the coating thickness varies to a large extent.

Emails und Emaillierungen - Hochspannungsprüfung (ISO 2746:2015)

Diese Internationale Norm legt zwei Verfahren der Hochspannungsprüfung fest:
—   Prüfung A zum Nachweis und Lokalisieren von Fehlstellen in Emails und Emaillierungen;
—   Prüfung B zum Nachweis und Lokalisieren sowohl von Fehlstellen als auch von Schwachstellen in Emails und Emaillierungen.
Die Prüfungen werden mit gleichgerichteter Hochspannung (DC) oder gepulster DC-Hochspannung durchgeführt.
Die Prüfungen gelten für trockene Emailoberflächen. Bei feuchten Oberflächen sollte darauf geachtet werden, dass die Prüfung zum vollständigen Nachweis von Fehlstellen korrekt vorgenommen wird.
Da die Prüfspannung von der Dicke des Emailüberzugs abhängt, kann das Prüfverfahren, insbesondere bei Prüfung A, nicht für Prüfgegenstände geeignet sein, bei denen große Unterschiede der Überzugsdicken auftreten.

Emaux vitrifiés - Essai sous haute tension (ISO 2746:2015)

ISO 2746:2015 décrit deux méthodes d'essai sous haute tension:
-      l'essai A sert à détecter et à localiser les défauts dans les émaux vitrifiés;
-      l'essai B sert à détecter et à localiser les défauts et les points faibles dans les émaux vitrifiés.
Les essais sont réalisés sous haute tension en courant continu ou en courant continu pulsé.
Les essais sont effectués sur les surfaces sèches des revêtements émaillés. En cas de surfaces humides, il convient de veiller à ce que la localisation des éventuels défauts soit correctement réalisée.
Les tensions d'essai variant en fonction de l'épaisseur du revêtement, les méthodes d'essai, en particulier celle de l'essai A, peuvent ne pas convenir à des éprouvettes présentant une fluctuation importante de l'épaisseur du revêtement.

Steklasti in porcelanski emajli - Visokonapetostni preskus (ISO 2746:2015)

Ta standard, ki revidira standarda EN 14430:2004 in ISO 2746:1998, opisuje dve preskusni metodi visokonapetostnega preskušanja: – preskus A se uporablja za odkrivanje in lociranje napak v steklastih in porcelanskih emajlih; – preskus B se uporablja za odkrivanje in lociranje napak in pomanjkljivosti v steklastih in porcelanskih emajlih. Preskusa se opravita z enosmernim, pulzirajočim enosmernim ali izmeničnim visokim tokom. Preskusa se uporabljata pri suhi površini emajliranih premazov. Če je površina vlažna, je treba zagotoviti, da je lociranje morebitnih napak izvedeno ustrezno. Ker so preskusne napetosti odvisne od debeline premaza, preskusna metoda, zlasti pri preskusu A, morda ni primerna za preskusne vzorce, pri katerih je debelina premaza izjemno neenakomerna.

Overview

EN ISO 2746:2015 - "Vitreous and porcelain enamels - High voltage test" (adopted by CEN) defines two high-voltage test methods for assessing enamel coatings on metallic substrates. The standard covers both Test A (detection and location of defects that reach the metal base) and Test B (detection of defects and weak spots). Tests use DC or pulsed DC high voltage applied to dry enamel surfaces to generate optical/acoustic signals at spark events; Test A is typically non‑destructive, Test B can be destructive.

Key topics and requirements

  • Test purposes
    • Test A: Locate defects (e.g., open pores, cracks) that expose the metal base; generally applied to thin coatings.
    • Test B: Locate defects and detect weak spots (blisters, inclusions, spalling) by higher voltages; typically applied to thick coatings and may create open pores.
  • Voltage and dependence on coating thickness
    • Test voltages depend on enamel coating thickness; the standard provides DC voltage guidance (Table 1) and allows agreed voltages for pulsed DC.
    • Test A may be unsuitable when coating thickness varies widely.
  • Apparatus and electrical parameters
    • High-voltage generator (DC or pulsed DC) with specified accuracy and safety characteristics. For DC generators, internal resistance and current limits are specified (short-circuit mean current 2–3 mA max; spark peak 10–50 mA; charge per impulse ≤25 μC).
    • Earthing/grounding: negative pole to earth/ground; positive to test electrode via screened cable.
    • Test electrode options: metal wire or conductive rubber; brush holder and insulated hand-piece with earthed cover are specified.
    • Indicator device for optical/acoustic detection and coating thickness measurement (referenced ISO 2178 / ISO 2360).
  • Test conditions & limitations
    • Applicable to dry surfaces; moist surfaces require care to correctly locate defects.
    • Edges/borders within 2 cm can produce arcing and may be unsuitable for testing.
    • Safety note: standard does not cover health/safety requirements - follow relevant regulations and IEC/TS 60479 guidance on effects of current on humans and livestock.

Applications and users

  • Quality control and inspection of enamelled products: sinks, cookware, architectural panels, chemical industry vessels, storage tanks.
  • Coating manufacturers and enamel applicators for process monitoring and defect-density measurement.
  • Laboratories and certification bodies verifying enamel dielectric performance or resistance under corrosive conditions.
  • Design/specification engineers writing procurement or acceptance criteria for enamel coatings.

Related standards

  • ISO 2178 - coating thickness measurement (magnetic method)
  • ISO 2360 - coating thickness measurement (eddy-current method)
  • IEC/TS 60479-1 / 60479-2 - effects of electric current on humans/livestock (safety guidance)
  • EN 14430:2004 - superseded by EN ISO 2746:2015

ISO 2746:2015(E)
Introduction
There are two different objectives for high voltage testing of vitreous and porcelain enamels.
Test A is used to detect and locate defects, which extend down to the metal base (e.g. open pores). This
is a non-destructive test usually applied to thin enamel coatings. The test serves to monitor either that
the parts produced are free from defects at the chosen test voltage, or to count the number of existing
defects, e.g. to determine the defect density (defects/m ) of enamelled architecture panels.
Test B is used to detect and locate defects, which extend down to the metal base (e.g. open pores) and
to detect weak spots. This is a destructive test, i.e. the test can generate open pores with an electric
discharge through weak spot

The article discusses the EN ISO 2746:2015 standard, which outlines two test methods for high voltage testing of vitreous and porcelain enamels. Test A is used to detect and locate defects in the coatings, while Test B is used to detect defects and weak spots. The tests are conducted using DC or pulsed DC high voltage. The tests are intended for dry surfaces, but precautions should be taken when testing moist surfaces. It is noted that the suitability of the test methods may be limited if the coating thickness varies significantly in the test specimens.

記事のタイトル:EN ISO 2746:2015 - ガラスと磁器のエナメル - 高電圧試験(ISO 2746:2015) 記事内容:ISO 2746:2015では、高電圧試験の2つのテスト方法について説明しています。 - テストAはガラスと磁器のエナメルの欠陥を検出および特定するために使用されます。 - テストBはガラスと磁器のエナメルの欠陥および弱点を検出および特定するために使用されます。 この試験は、直流またはパルスド直流の高電圧を使用して行われます。 この試験は、エナメルコーティングの乾いた表面に適用されます。湿った表面の場合、欠陥の特定が正しく行われるように注意する必要があります。 試験電圧は塗装の厚さによって異なるため、特にテストAの場合は、塗装の厚さが大きく変動する試験試料には適していない場合があります。
