This NACE test method has been prepared to provide manufacturers, applicators, and users of internal pipe coatings with a method of comparing the performance of these coatings. The method used in this standard is not intended to correlate with any particular field performance, but is intended solely to compare samples of internally coated tubular goods under uniform laboratory test conditions.

This standard was prepared by NACE Task Group T-1G-6c of Unit Committee T-1G on Protective Coatings, Elastomers, and Other Nonmetallic Materials for Oilfield Use and issued by NACE in 1985 under the auspices of Group Committee T-1 on Corrosion Control in Petroleum Production. This standard was reaffirmed by Unit committee T-1G at CORROSION/88 in March 1988, and again reviewed and reaffirmed at Fall Committee Week/93 in September 1993. 

1.1 This test method establishes a laboratory method for evaluating the performance of plastic coatings for tubular goods in specific environments at elevated temperatures and pressures by use of an autoclave.

1.2 This test method is intended to standardize laboratory test procedures and aid in evaluating the general performance of plastic coatings for tubular goods.

1.3 The data obtained from this test may not be indicative of the performance of plastic coatings for tubular goods in actual field service and may not provide any direct correlation to such
