Guide for the Identication and Use of Industrial Coating Materials in Computerized Product Databases
1. Scope
1.1 INTRODUCTION: Databases are essential in organizing and reporting technical information such as product data and test results. The rst step in developing a database for industrial coating material is to identify the parameters that are essential for characterizing coating material identiers and properties. The Society for Protective Coatings/Computer-Integrated Knowledge System Network (SSPC/CIKS) Joint Coating Working Group has prepared this guide for formatting data on coating material for use in preparing product data sheets in hardcopy format and computerized databases. Signicant benets will be realized due to the increased emphasis on the electronic representation and exchange of information. The guide will provide a consistent format that will simplify data transfer among coating industry manufacturers, coating suppliers, and coating users. The benets will include an increased awareness of the properties of coating material through consistent terminology and the identication of data elements, and the ability to exchange product data represented in computerized systems such as databases. The development of this guide is consistent with the principles laid down by ASTM Committee E-49 on Computerization of Material and Chemical Property Data. The organization of the guide was strongly inuenced by ASTM E 1309 (Guide for Identication of Composite Materials in Computerized Material Property Databases) and ASTM E 1338 (Guide for Identication of Metals and Alloys in Computerized Material Property Databases). 1.2 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this document is to provide a general structure for coating product data. Product data includes manufacturer identiers, physical properties, performance parameters, and recommendations on use. This guide is intended to simplify the exchange of similarly complete sets of data between different computerized databases and to promote a consistent representation for the exchange of coating product data in paper form. It suggests the subject matter to be included in a coating material product database. It is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of data to be stored and it is not a database. Implementation of this guide does not have to include all the data elements listed within, and there are no constraints on how data should be displayed in specic databases. The guide presents parameters needed to characterize industrial coating product data. It includes data elements (elds) needed to uniquely identify a coating material, to describe its properties, and to report manufacturers recommendations on its use.

2. Terminology
2.1 TERMS SPECIFIC TO INDUSTRIAL COATING MATERIAL: Terms specic to industrial coating material Industrial coating material is dened in Steel Structures Painting Manual, Volume 1, Appendix B. Other industrial coating material related terms used in this guide are dened in documents listed in Section 5. 2.2 TERMS USED IN THIS GUIDE: Terms used to describe the components of an industrial coating system include primer, intermediate, and topcoat. A diagram showing the components is presented in Figure 1. In practice, when describing a coating system, it is assumed that multiple representations (e.g. product data sheets, data les, data records) of this guide will be necessary. For example, a database record could contain product data on a primer, intermediate, or topcoat. The database records could reside in a single database le or in separate les, designated as primer data le, intermediate coat data le, or topcoat data le." A database consists of data les that are composed of data segments and data elements. FIGURE 1: COMPONENTS OF A COATING SYSTEM

Coating System Primer (data format) Intermediate Coat (data format) Topcoat (data format)

2.2.1 Coating product database: a data le consisting of data segments and data elements in which product data representing individual or multiple manufacturer identiers and properties are stored. 2.2.2 Data record: a complete coating product database entry that contains coating material product data representing a single manufacturer and coating system component, comprised of data segments. 2.2.3 Data segment: a category of information that is used to subdivide and designate sets of related data elements. 2.2.4 Data element: an individual piece of information used in describing a material or recording test results; for example, a variable name or test parameter. Note: Certain data segments may be used repeatedly to report information and properties of a particular coating. Each data element in this guide is represented by a data element

9-53

SSPC-Guide 13 December 1, 1998 Editorial Revisions November 1, 2004 number, data element name, data element type, and data element format. 2.2.5 Data element number: a three or ve-digit number used to denote an individual data element. Note: These numbers represent the entire set of information in a particular data element. Data element numbers are considered a functional part of the guide and may be used for data element reference. The rst three digits of the data element number identify the data segment. The two digits following the decimal point identify the specic data element within a data segment. A data element number that contains XX following the decimal point is used to denote multiple occurrences (e.g. properties, tests) for an individual data element. 2.2.6 Data element name: a descriptive term or title that designates the type of information or data to be reported in the data element. 2.2.7 Data element type: a designation of essential, essential if applicable, or desirable that reects the signicance of the data element entry. Note: Data elements are designated essential if they are necessary to make a meaningful comparison of product data from different sources. A comparison of data from different sources may still be possible if essential information is omitted, but the value of the comparison may be greatly reduced. 2.2.8 Data element format: the presentation style used to report information or data. Note: Alphanumeric, oating point, and special entry formats may be specied in this guide for use in reporting information, unit designations, numerical values, and test results. 3.2.2 Intended use: Ten data elements used to describe manufacturers recommendations on use of the coating material. 3.2.3 Physical properties (as applied material): Thirteen data elements that describe the physical properties, including test results for the wet material. 3.2.4 Mixing and application: Thirty data elements that provide guidance on the mixing and application of the coating material. 3.2.5 Key performance parameters: Twenty-nine data elements that identify test methods and results for the coating material. 3.2.6 Safety: Six data elements that describe safety data and considerations for the coating material. 3.2.7 Supplementary information: One data element that describes manufacturer supplementary comments regarding identication, properties, and use of the coating material.

4. Data Elements
4.1 Introduction: Each data segment is subdivided into sets of data elements that are used to report either essential, essential if applicable, or desirable information. Data elements for data segments are dened in the following sections. The use of SI units is preferred and the reporting of all properties in SI units is always required. It is also desirable to include English units (in parenthesis), following the SI unit specication. 4.2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 4.2.1 Product name (essential): the name established by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the coating material. 4.2.2 Product identication (essential): a unique identication number established by the manufacturer to uniquely identify the coating material. 4.2.3 Manufacturer name (essential): the name of the coating manufacturer. 4.2.4 Manufacturer address (desirable): the manufacturer street or post ofce box address for use in communicating written documents. 4.2.5 Manufacturer city designation (desirable): the manufacturer city for use in communicating written documents. 4.2.6 Manufacturer state designation (desirable): the manufacturer state for use in communicating written documents. 4.2.7 Manufacturer zip code designation (desirable): the manufacturer zip code for use in communicating written documents.
