Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints and related products - Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness - Part 6: Extraction of water soluble contaminants for analysis (Bresle method) (ISO 8502-6:2020)

This document specifies a method of extracting, for analysis, water soluble contaminants from a surface by use of flexible cells in the form of adhesive patches or sleeves which can be attached to any surface, regardless of its shape (flat or curved) and its orientation (facing in any direction, including downwards).
The method described is suitable for use in the field to determine the presence of water soluble contaminants before painting or a similar treatment.
This document does not cover the subsequent analysis of the contaminants that have been dissolved.
Methods of analysis suitable for field use are described in other parts of ISO 8502.
NOTE The extraction method might give a false negative or not take all the water-soluble material off the surface because of: a) Soluble materials hiding in the crevices or under folds of metal; b) Soluble materials under corrosion layers, passivation layers produced by corrosion inhibitors, oil, grease, or other non-visible thin films.

Vorbereitung von Stahloberflächen vor dem Auftragen von Beschichtungsstoffen - Prüfungen zum Bewerten der Oberflächenreinheit - Teil 6: Lösen von wasserlöslichen Verunreinigungen zur Analyse - Bresle-Verfahren (ISO 8502-6:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zum Extrahieren von wasserlöslichen Verunreinigungen von einer Oberfläche zur Analyse fest, bei dem verformbare Zellen in Form von selbstklebenden Pflastern oder Hülsen verwendet werden, die auf jede Oberfläche, unabhängig von deren Form (eben oder gekrümmt) und Lage (in jeder Richtung, auch nach unten) geklebt werden können.
Das Verfahren ist als Feldverfahren geeignet, um wasserlösliche Verunreinigungen vor dem Beschichten oder ähnlichen Behandlungen zu bestimmen.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit der anschließenden Analyse der gelösten Verunreinigungen. Analysenverfahren, die als Feldverfahren geeignet sind, werden in anderen Teilen von ISO 8502 beschrieben.
ANMERKUNG   Das Extraktionsverfahren könnte ein falschnegatives Ergebnis zur Folge haben oder nicht alle wasserlöslichen Stoffe von der Oberfläche lösen, da a) lösliche Stoffe sich in Spalten oder unter Faltungen des Metalls verbergen; b) lösliche Stoffe auch unter Korrosionsschichten, Passivierungsschichten, erzeugt durch Korrosions¬inhibitoren, Öl, Fett oder anderen nicht sichtbaren, dünnen Schichten sein können.

Le présent document spécifie une méthode d'extraction en surface, en vue de l'analyse, des contaminants solubles dans l'eau, au moyen de cellules souples telles que des pastilles adhésives ou des manchons qui peuvent être fixés sur toute surface, sans se soucier de leur forme (plate ou ronde) et de leur orientation (dans toutes les directions, y compris vers le bas).
La méthode décrite convient pour l'emploi in situ en vue de déterminer la présence de contaminants solubles dans l'eau avant de peindre ou d'effectuer un traitement similaire.
Le présent document ne traite pas de l'analyse consécutive des contaminants qui ont été dissous. Les méthodes d'analyse appropriées à l'emploi in situ sont décrites dans d'autres parties de l'ISO 8502.
NOTE    Il est possible que la méthode d'extraction donne un résultat faux négatif ou qu'elle ne permette pas d'extraire de la surface toutes les substances solubles dans l'eau, pour les raisons suivantes: a) Des substances solubles dissimulées dans des fissures ou sous des pliures de métal; b) Des substances solubles dissimulées sous les couches de corrosion, les couches de passivation produites par les inhibiteurs de corrosion, dans l'huile, la graisse, ou d'autres fines couches (films) invisibles.

ISO 8502-6:2020(E)

Introduction
The performance of protective coatings of paint and related products applied to steel is significantly
affected by the state of the steel surface immediately prior to painting. The principal factors that are
known to influence this performance are:
a) the presence of rust and mill scale;
b) the presence of surface contaminants, including salts, dust, oils and greases;
c) the surface profile.
The ISO 8501 series, ISO 8502 series and ISO 8503 series have been prepared to provide methods of
assessing these factors, while ISO 8504 series provides guidance on the preparation methods that are
available for cleaning steel substrates, indicating the capabilities of each in attaining specified levels of
cleanliness.
These series of International Standards do not contain recommendations for the protective coating
systems to be applied to the steel surface. Neither do they contain recommendations for the surface
quality requirements for specific situations, even though surface quality can have a direct influence
on the choice of protective coating to be applied and on its performance. Such recommendations are
found in other documents such as national standards and codes of practice. Users of these International
Standards should ensure that the qualities specified are:
— compatible and appropriate both for the environmental conditions to which the steel will be exposed
and for the protective coating system to be used;
— within the capability of the cleaning procedure specified.
The four series of International Standards referred to above deal with the following aspects of
preparation of steel substrates:
— ISO 8501 covers the visual assessment of surface cleanliness;
— ISO 8502 covers the tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness;
— ISO 8503 covers the surface roughness characteristics of blast-cleaned steel substrates;
— ISO 8504 covers the surface preparation methods.
This document is one of many parts of ISO 8502 that specify tests for the assessment of surface
cleanliness. In relation to such tests, there are several methods for the extraction, for analysis, of
soluble contaminants on surfaces to be painted. One of these methods is based on the swabbing
of comparatively large test surfaces. This technique provides average values of the contamination
present, but it might conceal localized concentrations of contaminants. Also, swabbing might not ensure
sufficient penetration to dissolve all the deep-seated contamination such as ferrous salts.
There are other methods, however, which use small cells for the liquid used to remove and collect the
surface contaminants. The cells are attached to test surfaces where soluble contaminants could be
expected, e.g. where pitting has occurred and prevent loss of extraction solution from evaporate. This
closed cell technique usually provides more accurate, point values of the contamination present.
This document describes a simple, inexpensive field test using flexible cells in the form of adhesive cells
designed to be filled with water. The method was originally developed by a Swedish scientist, Dr. A.
Bresle, using one of the cell types included in this document.

Introduction
The performance of protective coatings of paint and related products applied to steel is significantly

known to influence this performance are:
a) the presence of rust and mill scale;
b) the presence of surface contaminants, including salts, dust, oils and greases;
c) the surface profile.
International Standards ISO 8501, ISO 8502 and ISO 8503 have been prepared to provide methods
of assessing these factors, while ISO 8504 provides guidance on the preparation methods that are
available for cleaning steel substrates, indicating the capabilities of each in attaining specified levels of

These International Standards do not contain recommendations for the protective coating systems

requirements for specific situations, even though surface quality can have a direct influence on the
choice of protective coating to be applied and on its performance. Such recommendations are found in
other documents such as national standards and codes of practice. It will be necessary for the users of
these International Standards to ensure that the qualities specified are:
— compatible and appropriate both for the environmental conditions to which the steel will be exposed
and for the protective coating system to be used;
— within the capability of the cleaning procedure specified.
The four International Standards referred to above deal with the following aspects of preparation of
steel substrates:
— ISO 8501 — Visual assessment of surface cleanliness;
— ISO 8502 — Tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness;
— ISO 8503 — Surface roughness characteristics of blast-cleaned steel substrates;
— ISO 8504 — Surface preparation methods.
Each of these International Standards is in turn divided into separate parts.
This is one of many parts of ISO 8502 that specify tests for the assessment of surface cleanliness.
Relating to such tests, there are several methods for the extraction, for analysis, of soluble contaminants
on surfaces to be painted. One of these methods is based on the swabbing of comparatively large test
surfaces. This technique provides average values of the contamination present, but it might conceal
localized concentrations of contaminants. Also, swabbing might not ensure sufficient penetration to
dissolve all the deep-seated contamination such as ferrous salts.
There are other methods, however, which use small cells for the liquid used to remove and collect the
surface contaminants. The cells are attached to test surfaces where soluble contaminants could be
expected, e.g. where pitting has occurred and prevent loss of extraction solution from evaporate. This
closed cell technique usually provides more accurate, point values of the contamination present.
This part of ISO 8502 describes a simple, inexpensive field test using flexible cells in the form of adhesive
cells designed to be filled with water. The method was originally developed by a Swedish scientist, Dr.
A. Bresle, using one of the cell types included in this standard.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 8502-6:2019(E)
Preparation of steel substrates before application of paints
and related products — Tests for the assessment of surface
cleanliness —
Part 6:
Extraction of water soluble contaminants for analysis —
The Bresle method
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8502 describes a method of extracting, for analysis, water soluble contaminants from
a surface by use of flexible cells in the form of adhesive patches or sleeves which can be attached to any
surface, regardless of its shape (flat or curved) and its orientation (facing in any direction, including
downwards).
The method described is suitable for use in the field to determine the presence of water soluble
contaminants before painting or a similar treatment.
This part of ISO 8502 does not cover the subsequent analysis of the contaminants that have been
dissolved off. Methods of analysis suitable for field use are described in other parts of ISO 8502.
NOTE The extraction method might give a false negative or not take all the water-soluble material off the
surface because of: (1) Soluble materials hiding in the crevices or under folds of metal; (2) Soluble materials under
corrosion layers, passivation layers produced by corrosion inhibitors, oil, grease, or other non-visible thin films.
