1 Scope
This document describes the requirements for and methods of testing of organic linings which are applied to
concrete process engineering equipment that will come in contact with aggressive chemical substances
(liquids, solids and gases). The requirements specified here may be used for the purposes of quality control
(e.g. as agreed between the contract partners).
The standard applies to linings which serve one or more of the following purposes:
 to protect the component from damaging effects of aggressive substances;
 to protect waters (e.g. ground water) from harmful substances;
 to protect the charge from becoming contaminated by components released from the substrate material;
 to achieve a particular surface quality.
The different lining systems are:
a) bonded linings;
b) mechanically fixed linings;
c) loose linings of sheeting material;
d) loose linings of pre-formed pieces or lining units.
This standard establishes recommendations which may be used as guidelines for quality control procedures
by the contracting parties (the manufacturer of the lining materials, the manufacturer of the precast concrete
parts to be coated, the lining manufacturer and the purchaser of the finished product.
Handling of aggressive or water pollutant materials is understood to include
a) storage
b) filling
c) loading and unloading
d) manufacture
e) treatment
f) use.

4 Concepts and selection criteria
4.1 Surface protection types and systems
4.1.1 General
Surface protection is usually applied as a lining as in 4.1.2 and clause 5, as a coating as in EN 14879-4 or as
a composite coating or lining system as in EN 14879-6. The last of these combines a chemically resistant
sealing coat with a wearing layer.
4.1.2 Protective linings
Linings based on organic binders, such as
a) Bonded linings
Bonded linings comprise pre-fabricated sheets that are fixed to the substrate by means of an adhesive applied
over the entire surface area. The sheets are then jointed using an adhesive or by welding.
b) Mechanically fixed linings
Linings made of thermoplastic units (e.g. sheets, slabs or pre-formed pieces) that are fixed to the concrete
substrate by means of fasteners systematically arranged on the units' underside. The lining units are then
jointed by welding.
These linings may be applied either during the construction of the concrete member or after construction has
been completed, in which case the lining is attached to a layer of facing concrete.
c) Loose linings of sheeting material
Pre-fabricated linings that are laid loosely on the substrate, jointed and then fixed to the walls by means of
metal beads, for example.
The sheets are usually surfaced with gravel or screed, or protected against exposure to sunlight, warping and
mechanical damage by means of a masonry facing.
d) Loose linings of pre-formed pieces or linings units
Linings made of pre-formed pieces laid in the concrete member (e.g. tanking of containers) and then fixed or
welded at the top edge, if necessary.

prEN 14879-5:2005 (E)
4.2 Selection criteria
4.2.1 General
The stress to be encountered by a protective lining must be known before the requirements for it can be
specified. For the scope or this standard, the stress types detailed in sub clauses 4.2.2 to 4.2.8 are the most
relevant. Where necessary, grades have been used to describe different levels of stress.
4.2.2 Aggressive substances
Aggressive substances or water pollutants may occur as solids or fluids. Their aggressive action on concrete
usually occurs when they are in a liquid state (e.g. aqueous solutions or condensates). The substances may
occur in their pure state, or as mixtures and may attack the concrete at varying intervals.
1) 2)
These substances shall be designated using the Geneva nomenclature, IUPAC nomenclature or CAS
number. They may also be designated by trivial names which have become established in the literature.
Concentrations and any changes to these shall be given as a percentage by mass or volume, or as g/l, g/kg,
mol/l etc. The pH value shall also be given for aqueous solutions.
All constituents, including traces and impurities, shall be named, even if they do not attack concrete.
Successive exposure shall be represented accordingly.
Table 1 lists chemicals which are commonly used, having the properties mentioned above.

4.2.3 Type and frequency of fluid loading
The requirements for the protective or sealing function of a surface protection system are linked to the type
and frequency of the fluid loads to which it will be exposed. Exposure shall be graded as follows.
Grade 0: no exposure to fluids.
Grade 1: sporadic exposure to droplets of fluid (e.g. laboratory floors, floors in small units, walls).
Grade 2: frequent, short-term exposure to splashes of fluid, where the surfaces are regularly flushed (e.g.
floors of closed production plants).
Grade 3: exceptional and limited exposure to fluids during operations (e.g. due to plant failure) in, for
example, collecting basins.
Grade 4: constant or frequent exposure to a film of fluid, due to wetness, condensation, puddles, trickles
and the like (e.g. floors in production plants, electroplating plants or pumping stations).
Grade 5: operational exposure to a constant flow of fluid involving no significant hydrostatic pressure (e.g.
open gutters, trenches and their pump sumps, closed trenches and pipes).
Grade 6: constant exposure of containers to fluid contents for unlimited periods (e.g. vessels, pits).
4.2.4 Thermal loading
Temperature influences the effectiveness of a surface protection system in the following ways.
a) Aggressiveness of medium
Elevated temperatures increase the aggressiveness of the medium by raising the levels of its chemical
reactions and diffusion, and also through the accumulation of volatile substances in the headspace.
b) Thermal stress
Temperatures which deviate from the installation temperature cause thermal stress between the substrate and
the surface protection system and may cause peeling, cracks, etc. This may result from the direct action of hot
or cold media, or from radiant heat and extreme ambient temperature.
The maximum thermal load shall be stated in °C.
4.2.5 Changes in temperature
Changes in temperature include
a) temperature changes at the protective surface during exposure to fluid loads of grades 3 to 5 as in 4.2.3
involving changed medium temperatures;
b) temperature changes as otherwise constantly heated or cooled surfaces, resulting from operational
contingencies, such as start-up and shutdown.
c) temperature changes, possibly involving thermal shock, which occur during cleaning operations;
d) process-related changes in the temperature of the medium under loading conditions corresponding to
grade 6 (as in 4.2.3).
Temperature changes due to climatic influences are dealt with in 4.2.7.
10

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
prEN 14879-5:2005 (E)
The source, degree, speed and frequency of temperature changes shall be taken into consideration when
assessing their effect.
The following grades serve in assessing the effects of temperature changes, whereby details of the frequency
and the duration of temperature changes are to be given for grades 1 to 4.
Grade 0: no temperature changes.
Grade 1: infrequent temperature changes of not more than 50 K.
Grade 2: infrequent temperature changes of more than 50 K.
Grade 3: frequent temperature changes of not more than 50 K.
Grade 4: frequent temperature changes of more than 50 K.
Grade 5: temperature changes involving thermal shock.
4.2.6 Mechanical loading
The effectiveness of a surface protection system may be impaired through exposure to mechanical loads or
hydrostatic pressure during operation or assembly. The following grades shall be used to assess such loads.
Grade 0: no loads, or hydrostatic pressure up to 0,05 bar.
2
Grade 1: loads up to 0,2 N/mm (e.g. pedestrian traffic, light transport, static loading).
2
Grade 2: loads up to 1 N/mm (e.g. vehicles with pneumatic tires, static loading).
2
Grade 3: loads over 1 N/mm , for example
2 2
  a) loads of 1 N/mm to 7 N/mm (e.g. vehicles with Vulkollan wheels, static loading).
2
  b) loads over 7 N/mm (e.g. vehicles with polyamide wheels, static loading).
Grade 4: impact loads, such as those resulting from setting down sharp-edged objects (e.g. barrels), and
from scraping (e.g. shovel loaders).
Grade 5: hydrostatic pressure from 0,05 bar to 0,5 bar.
Grade 6: hydrostatic pressure greater than 0,5 bar.
4.2.7 Weather factors
Climatic influences may affect the durability of a surface protection system, and shall be graded as follows.
Grade 0: no climatic influences: the component is located inside a building and is not exposed to climatic
  influences.
Grade 1: limited climatic influences: a roof protects the component, which is exposed to limited climatic
  influences.
Grade 2: full climatic influences: the component is located outside, and is fully exposed to climatic
  influences.
