BS EN 16813:2016

What is BS EN 16813 - Measurement of the electrical conductivity of thermal spraying about?  

BS EN 16813 specifies the procedure of the measurement of the electrical conductivity of non-Ferro-magnetic thermal sprayed coatings.  

BS EN 16813 specifies the measurement of the absolute value of the electrical conductivity in the coating sprayed on the component can be determined as well as also deviations from the agreed rated value can be used to control a running production. With that, a remarkable contribution can be applied to process and quality assurance measures of a manufacturing process. 

Who is BS EN 16813 - Measurement of the electrical conductivity of thermal spraying for? 

BS EN 16813 on electrical conductivity of thermal spraying is useful for: 

• Thermal spraying industries 
• Safety authorities 
• Quality control  department 

Why should you use BS EN 16813 - Measurement of the electrical conductivity of thermal spraying?  

In many applications, electrical conductivity is a relevant technical parameter. For testing of imperfections in components or technological material properties the eddy current method can be very well applied. It can be detected or determined, for example: 

• Defects in welds 
• Imperfections or changes in the structure of a component, for example, due to aging processes in structures made out of aluminum 
• Change in structure caused by temperature effects 
• Thickness  
• Physical material properties such as the electrical conductivity 

BS EN 16813 helps to provide the measurement of the electrical conductivity of thermal sprayed non-iron metal coatings which will ensure the thermal sprays are produced with the best performance.
