ASTM D7018

ASTM D7018 is a standardized test method used to evaluate the low-temperature (cold weather) properties of pipeline coating materials. It measures the brittle fracture temperature, which is the lowest temperature at which a coating or pipe coating can withstand cracking or breaking without becoming too brittle. This test helps ensure that pipeline coatings perform reliably in cold environments, maintaining their protective qualities and preventing corrosion or damage in low-temperature conditions.
