3.1
ductile iron
cast iron used for pipes, fittings and accessories in which graphite is present substantially in spheroidal
form
3.2
adhesion
force per unit area, applied perpendicular to the surface, which is necessary to separate the lining from
its substrate
3.3
indirect impact strength
impact energy applied from outside of the pipe with deformation to which a lining can withstand
without damage under defined test conditions
3.4
hardness
resistance of the lining to the penetration of a ball under defined test conditions
3.5
minimum lining thickness
minimum value of the lining thickness measured at the lined item
3.6
non-porosity
absence of holidays in a high voltage test under defined test conditions
3.7
TMPO lining
factory applied lining which consists of TMPO on the inside of the pipe

thermoplastic acid modified polyolefin powder material (TMPO powder)
polyolefin resin in which a significant amount of carbon hydrogen chemical bonds are replaced by
carboxylic acid functional groups
[SOURCE: EN 14901-2:2019]
3.9
specific lining resistance
surface related electric resistance of the lining perpendicular to the pipe wall
3.10
performance test
test which is done once and is repeated according to a schedule or after relevant change of lining
material and/or material supplier or change in process application
3.11
routine test
test carried out to control the manufacturing process with a frequency defined by the manufacturer
3.12
designated zones
areas of a casting where because of jointing tolerance restrictions, testing difficulties, or shrouding by a
gasket, etc. a lower standard of coating performance is unavoidable
Note 1 to entry: For the purpose of this standard these areas are defined as:
— joint areas;
— bolt holes;
— permitted markings;
— ribs;
— edges.
Note 2 to entry: Where considered necessary, these zones may be protected by appropriate additional corrosion
protection measures during or after installation. However, such measures are not part of this document.
