4.5 Test methods and test panel preparation. Test methods shall be in accordance with table VII.
4.5.1 Panel preparation. Steel panels [minimum size 60 mm by 90 mm by 3 mm (2.4 inches by 3.6 inches by
0.12 inch) thick (nominal)] shall be prepared for testing by abrasive blasting to a near white metal surface in
accordance with SSPC-SP 10 to achieve a minimum 0.051 mm (0.002 inch; 2.0 mil) surface profile. The blasted
panels shall be solvent wiped to remove any traces of oil or residue, blown dry with dry air, wrapped in plastic and
stored in a desiccator, oven, air-tight storage bag or use other means to prevent rusting prior to coating. The
abrasive used for blasting shall be in accordance with MIL-A-22262 and be listed on the current qualified products
list. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable test paragraphs of this specification, the test panels shall be coated
with TT-P-645 primer applied in one coat at a wet film thickness that will yield a dry film thickness 50 percent
greater than the blast profile. Unless otherwise specified, dry time shall be 48 hours at 21 °C (70 °F). Unless
otherwise specified in this specification, film thickness for test purposes shall be achieved by use of a 0.006 draw
down blade which yields a 0.003-inch wet film thickness.
