Vitreous and porcelain enamels - Low voltage test for detecting and locating defects (ISO 8289:2000) (Austrian Standard)
This International Standard specifies two low voltage tests for detecting and locating defects that extend to the basis metal in vitreous and porcelain enamel coatings.
Method A (electrical) is suitable for the rapid detection and determination of the general location of defects. Method B (optical), based on colour effects, is suitable for the more precise detection of defects and their exact locations. Method A is commonly applied to flat surfaces, whereas method B is preferred for more intricate shapes.
