BS EN 14901 is a series of European standards on ductile iron pipes, fittings, and accessories that discusses the best procedures and specifications required for Epoxy coating of ductile iron fittings and accessories. BS EN 14901‑1 is the first part of a series of documents on ductile iron pipes, fittings, and accessories.
BS EN 14901‑1 defines the requirements and test methods for factory applied epoxy coatings (fusion bonded powder or liquid two-pack) used for the corrosion protection of ductile iron fittings and accessories conforming to EN 545, EN 598, EN 969, EN 12842, EN 14525, for:
BS EN 14901‑1 on Epoxy coating is relevant to:
Epoxy coating is done for protecting pipelines to sealing warehouse floors, an epoxy surface coating protects surfaces strengthens materials, and protects them from corrosion and decay, making epoxy one of the most widely used industrial finishes.
BS EN 14901‑1 navigates you through the surface preparation, coating thickness, cross-linkage, impact resistance, durability, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, test methods of epoxy coating.
As the user of BS EN 14901‑1, you would get appropriate guidance regarding the requirements and test methods of factory-applied epoxy coatings which assist you in protecting ductile iron pipes, fittings, and accessories from corrosion. As a result, BS EN 14901‑1 takes into account the safety and protection of the product while also prolonging the service life of the fitting.
BS EN 14901‑1:2014+A1:2019 supersedes BS EN 14901:2014, which is withdrawn.
In comparison with EN 14901:2006, the following changes have been made:
