BS EN ISO 8130-13:2019

OVERVIEW:

What is ISO 8130‑13-Coating powders about?

ISO 8130 discusses coating powders. ISO 8130‑13 is the thirteenth part of the ISO 8130 multi-series and discusses particle size analysis by laser diffraction.

ISO 8130‑13 specifies a method for the determination of the equivalent-sphere particle size distribution of coating powders by laser diffraction, for particles of the size range from 1 μm to 300 μm.

Note 1: There is a possibility that particle sizes >300 μm need the use of a different optical model

Note 2: Laser diffraction is not suitable for determining oversize material

Who is ISO 8130‑13-Coating powders for?

ISO 8130‑13 on coating powders is useful for:

• Paint manufacturers
• Quality control personnel

Why should you use ISO 8130‑13-Coating powders?

ISO 8130‑13 provides you with parameters of sample preparation, measurement instrument performance, and selection of an appropriate optical model and precaution for the test.

ISO 8130‑13 on coating powders guides you through the test method that helps you identify the particle distribution of your coating powders and act as a quality check by removing any contaminants in them. ISO 8130‑13 helps you to improve the efficiency of your products and ensure their reliability in the consumer market.

What’s changed since the last update?       

BS EN ISO 8130‑13:2019 supersedes BS EN ISO 8130‑13:2010, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 8130‑13:2019 includes some technical changes concerning BS EN ISO 8130‑13:2010

• Clauses on precautions, accuracy, reference materials, and error sources have been added
• The requirements concerning the analyzer are more detailed and description of the testing has been extended
