ASTM D610

ASTM D610 is a standard test method used to assess the rusting of painted or coated metal surfaces. It specifically measures the presence of rust based on a visual evaluation of the surface after exposure to certain conditions. The results categorize the severity of rusting, helping manufacturers and quality control personnel determine the durability and performance of coatings. This ensures that metal products meet safety and aesthetic standards, contributing to their longevity and effectiveness in various applications, from household items to industrial machinery.
