BS 6374-2:1984

This standard BS 6374-2:1984 Lining of equipment with polymeric materials for the process industries is classified in these ICS categories:

• 23.020.35 Gas cylinders
• 25.220.60 Organic coatings

This Part of BS 6374 specifies requirements for the lining of equipment for the process industries using non-sheet applied thermoplastics.

It includes requirements for the choice of lining and its application and also requirements for subsequent inspection of the lining and the rectification of faults.

NOTE 1. The materials considered include thermoplastic powders, plastisols and dispersions. Although not thermoplastics, fusion-bonded epoxy resin powders are included in this category since the same application techniques are used.

NOTE 2. The linings may be applied at the applicator’s works or on site.

Requirements for design and fabrication of the equipment and the state of preparation necessary for the surfaces to be lined are specified in section two.

Requirements for storage, handling, transportation and installation of the lined equipment are specified in section eight.

This Part of BS 6374 does not apply to equipment manufactured in concrete.

NOTE 3. The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Specifies requirements for the design and fabrication of equipment to be lined and the application and inspection of the lining along with provisions for any repairs. It applies to non-sheet applied thermoplastics. Guidance is also given on the properties of typical linings of this type and their application.
