BS EN ISO 8130-5:2021

What is ISO 8130-5 about?  

ISO 8130 discusses coating powders. ISO 8130-5 is the fifth part of the ISO 8130 multi-series and discusses the determination of flow properties of a powder/air mixture. 

ISO 8130-5 specifies a method for estimating the flow properties of a mixture of coating powder and air. 

Who is ISO 8130-5 for? 

ISO 8130-5 on Coating powders is useful for: 

• Paint Manufacturers 
• Quality control personnel 

Why should you use ISO 8130-5?  

Flow properties represent the ability of the powders to be handled and have a great influence on powder storage and transportation, fluidization, spraying process, and even surface performance, which is a vital property of powder coatings.  

ISO 8130-5 provides you with a method to determine the flow properties of powders. The results obtained by the method in ISO 8130-5 are influenced by the composition of the coating powder, its density, particle size distribution, and particle shape, together with the tendency of the particles to agglomerate and to accept a charge. 

What’s changed since the last update?  

BS EN ISO 8130-5:2021 supersedes BS EN ISO 8130-5:2010, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 8130-5:2021 includes some technical changes with respect to BS EN ISO 8130-5:2010. These include: 

• The scope has been revised editorially 
• Annex A has been deleted 
• Clause 3 on terms and definitions has been added 
• Requirements for test temperature and humidity have been introduced 
• The text has been editorially revised, and the normative references have been updated.
