Paints and varnishes - Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems - Part 2: Classification of Environments
Also Known As:
DIN EN ISO 12944-2 is a standard that focuses on the corrosion protection of steel structures through the use of protective paint systems. It specifically addresses the classification of environments that may have an impact on the steel structures. This standard considers both atmospheric conditions and immersion conditions.
The document provides a classification system for different atmospheric environments based on their corrosivity categories. This is crucial in determining the appropriate protective measures and paint systems required for each environment. By understanding the corrosivity of an environment, it becomes easier to select the most suitable paint system that can effectively protect the steel structures from corrosion.
In addition to atmospheric conditions, DIN EN ISO 12944-2 also covers immersion categories that are significant in selecting the appropriate protective paint systems. Immersion conditions refer to situations where the steel structures are in direct contact with a liquid medium, such as water. Understanding the specific immersion category is essential in order to choose a protective paint system that can withstand the corrosive effects of the liquid medium.
