The lining test described in 6.2 may be used to evaluate the chemical resistance characteristics of coating systems for lining surfaces of tanks, vessels and similar facilities used in Coating Service Level I and II applications in a nuclear power plant. For the evaluation of linings in Coating Service Level III water immersion applications in nuclear power plants use the test methods and guidance found in Guide D7230.

The specific chemical resistance tests described in 6.1 are dependent upon the relative severity of the service conditions. The specific chemical reagents to be used shall be specified to reflect the intended service conditions.

At the discretion of the user, the methods presented may also be used to evaluate coatings and linings for applications in other types of power plants or other industrial services.
