What is ISO 8130-10 about?
ISO 8130 discusses coating powders. ISO 8130-10 is the tenth part of the ISO 8130 multi-series and discusses the determination of deposition efficiency.
ISO 8130-10 specifies a method for determining the mass fraction in per cent (%) of a sprayed coating powder which is deposited on a test item under known spray gun and environmental conditions.
Who is ISO 8130-10 for?
ISO 8130-10 on coating powders is useful for:
- Paint manufacturers
- Paint spray gun manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 8130-10?
The transfer efficiency of a compressed air spray gun is an important performance index regarding worker health, environmental, and economic considerations. It is defined as the fraction of paint sprayed that coats the surface. ISO 8130-10 helps you in determining the deposition efficiency.
ISO 8130-10 provides you with a method comparison when powders or guns are evaluated consecutively, as the influence of the environment and the equipment can vary significantly with time and location. The method in ISO 8130-10 is applicable to powders applied by corona or tribo charging and can be used to compare the deposition efficiency of different powders with the same or different guns with the same powder.
