The thermal spray procedure specification (TSPS) is a critically important quality assurance document in the production workflow when producing a thermally sprayed coating.
BS EN 17002 defines the minimum requirements to be followed for the content of a thermal spray procedure specification. When using the thermal spray procedure specification, the requirements of the coating specification are intended to be met.
To ensure traceability, the thermal spray procedure specification is intended to be documented and component related. Tests and test scopes are intended to be defined by the manufacturer of the coating in a separate test plan according to the requirements of the coating specification.
BS EN 17002 on Thermal spray procedure specification in Thermal spraying is useful for:
BS EN 17002 guidance provides the users with the processes that are used extensively in thermal spraying to produce coatings for industrial products, primarily for preventative protection of surfaces.
BS EN 17002 helps the users to monitor conditions and the process that benefits for appropriate use of thermally sprayed coatings and to avoid extensive quality and cost issues in production and operation.
BS EN 17002 helps the manufacturer of the coating with the guidelines for a functioning quality assurance system, and usually a quality management system as well.
