scope:

This document establishes requirements for the application of protective coatings to prevent corrosion of exposed carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Purpose. This document provides a design standard for experienced corrosion control engineers for the development of specifications including requirements for materials, equipment, safety, procedures, and quality assurance inspections. Due to the ever changing environmental considerations, new advances in corrosion technology and the wide array of possible applications, this document shall not be used as a stand-alone standard that meets every contingency. Refer to 7.1 for the intended use and surfaces to be coated according to this standard. Refer to Appendices A, B, and C for approved coating materials.

Applicability. This standard is applicable to facilities, launch structures, ground support equipment (GSE), test facilities, and structures that are intended for use at all NASA locations worldwide.

intended Use:
