KOREAN INDUSTRIAL STANDARD

KS D 8308:2001
(2011 confirmed)

Zinc hot dip galvanizings

Introduction
This Korean Standard has been modified based on KS A 0001 and been prepared by adding
corresponding International Standard to normative references.

1 Scope
This Korean Standard specifies the significant surface(1) of hot-dipped zinc galvanizing (hereinafter
referred to as the coating) applied on iron and steel articles except zinc steel sheets and zinc-galvanized
iron steel wires for the purpose of corrosion proof.
Remark (1)

The significant surface means the important surface in practical use.

2 Normative references
The following referenced documents contain provision which, through reference in this text, constitute
provisions of this standard. These normative references apply the latest version.

method

3 Classification
The classification of coating shall be as given in Table 1 according to the coating mass and number of
copper sulfate tests.

4.3

Adhesion

The coated film shall have good adhesion to the base metal and be able to withstand without stripping
and cracking in normal use.

5 Test
5.1

Sampling Method of Test Piece

The sampling method of test piece shall be conducted as follows:

a) A representative specimen shall be taken from each lot consisting of products of the same material
that have been coated under the same conditions. A test piece shall be taken from the sampled
specimen.
b) When it is practically impossible to cut off a test piece from an assembled product, a test specimen
shall be taken from the same material as that used for the product. A test piece shall be made by
coating the sampled specimen at the same time as the body.
c) The number of test piece and sampling plan thereof shall be in accordance with the agreement
between the purchaser and the supplier.
5.2

Tests for Coating Mass

It shall be in accordance with the test method for coating mass specified in KS D 0201.
5.3

Copper sulfate Test

It shall be in accordance with the method of copper sulfate test specified in KS D 0201.
5.4

Adhesion Test

It shall be in accordance with the method of adhesion test specified in KS D 0201.

6 Inspection
The coating shall conform to the requirements specified in clause 4, when tested in accordance with
clause 5. Test for coating mass, copper sulfate test, and adhesion test shall be performed by taking test
pieces in accordance with sub-clause 5.1. Numbers of test pieces and sampling methods shall comply
with the agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.

7 Marking
For coated products, the following items shall be marked on the label or invoice (including statement of
delivery).
a) Symbol indicating the classification of coating
b) Date of coating
c) Manufacturers name or its abbreviation
