Features

The Coatings Radar App has been developed by Coating Industry Experts who have many years’ experience in methods of corrosion control with the use of Protective Coatings.

The Coatings Radar App has been developed to work off-line on a phone and tablet. It can be used in day or night mode.

The main ISO International Standard for the basis of Coating Evaluation is ISO 4628 parts 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Paints and Varnishes – Evaluation of degradation of Coatings – Designation of quantity and size of defects, and of intensity of uniform changes in appearance.

Part 2 – Assessment of degree of blistering

Part 3 - Assessment of degree of rusting

Part 4 - Assessment of degree of cracking

Part 5 - Assessment of degree of flacking

The Coating Radar App has many features including:

• Interactive evaluation of blistering, rusting, cracking and flaking
• European Scale of Rust (Re) comparison to various industry locations
• Evaluation of aged coatings - Immersion conditions
• Details of Inspection and testing of coatings
• Sampling Techniques
• Surveying techniques in marine, offshore, petrochemical and infrastructure
• Interactive use of SSPC PA 2 (Procedure for Determining Conformance to Dry Coating Thickness Requirements)

There are many other features to assist the coatings surveyor produce the correct inspection reports.

Fitz’s Atlas of Coating Surveys Manual is included along with details of all test standards for:

• Paint Testing
• Adhesion Tests
• Dry Film Thickness
• Holiday Detection
