EN 14879-1:2005

Organic coating systems and linings for protection of industrial apparatus and plants against corrosion caused by aggressive media - Part 1: Terminology, design and preparation of substrate

Publication date:   Nov 14, 2006

Scope

This European Standard describes the terminology, the design and the preparation of the substrate of
industrial apparatus for the protection against corrosion caused by aggressive media. These industrial apparatus include, for example, reaction tanks, storage tanks, floors in industrial plants, in general for production and handling of chemicals.
The protection is applicable to metallic and concrete structures.
Beside the protection of the apparatus, the protection of the media itself against pollution is also considered in this series of European Standards EN 14879.
A protection against corrosion caused by atmospheric exposure (as for example according to EN ISO 12944-4) is not included in the scope of this series of European Standards EN 14879.
Corrosion protection systems according to this series of European Standards EN 14879 are:
1) Thick coatings normally of 1 mm or more thick.
2) Linings made of pre-fabricated sheets respectively plate materials.
3) Combined linings with tile and brick layers.
