Describes requirements for organic coatings. The coatings consists principally of pigments and other additives bonded by resins and can be lubricated to give controlled torque/clamping force properties when required.

This Part of BS 7371 specifies requirements for organic coatings. The coatings consist principally of pigments and other additives bonded by resins and can be lubricated to give controlled torque/clamping force properties when required (see for example BS 7371 : Part 2 : 1993). In addition to the requirements in this Part of BS 7371, the requirements in Part 1 of the standard which are applicable to organic coatings apply. This Part of BS 7371 also specifies requirements for the following: four grades of coating; colour; quality assessment of the corrosion resistance of unused coated parts when subjected to neutral salt spray testing (see for example BS 7479 : 1991); adhesion test.
