PROTECTION OF MATERIALS. DEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROCEDURES FOR THE RAPID DETERMINATION OF THE DURABILITY OF PAINT COATINGS. PART III- COMPARISON OF ARTIFICIAL AND NATURAL WEATHERING RESULTS AND FINAL CONCLUSIONS

In two previous reports (RP 28 and 30) were given the results of a study of three carriage paint systems weathered artificially as well as naturally. In this report the value of the various test methods applied is discussed in respect of their use for assessing the rate of deterioration of the paint coats during aging. Also the correlation between results obtained with both types of weathering is analysed. In addition, results of the performance of the paints in railway practice have been obtained from a questionnaire.
