Code of Practice for Protective Coating of Iron and Steel Structures Against Corrosion
Also Known As:
The BS 5493:1977 standard provides guidance on specifying, applying, and maintaining protective coating systems for iron and steel structures. The standard does not cover specific recommendations for various specialized applications such as ships, vehicles, offshore platforms, chemical equipment, cladding materials, plastics coatings, cement-mortar linings, or weathering steels.
The standard emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate protective system based on the specific requirements of the structure and its exposure to corrosion. It provides guidance on how to specify the chosen protective system, ensuring its correct application, and maintaining it over time. By following the recommendations outlined in this standard, professionals can effectively protect iron and steel structures against corrosion damage, increasing their durability and longevity.
It is important to note that while the standard provides general guidance for protective coating systems, it does not cover specific recommendations for certain specialized applications. Hence, professionals in these specific industries should consult other relevant standards or guidelines that address their specific requirements.
