本文件给出了测定阳极氧化物或通过自动催化、机械、化学转化、电沉积沉积沉积的涂层测量区域平均表面密度的指南，通过热浸镀锌和化学或物理气相沉积，使用重量分析和其他化学分析程序，已达到一定程度的国家或国际标准化。 描述了各种程序，包括: -涂层或基材化学或电化学溶解的重量分析程序，以确定涂层表面密度； -称重未涂层基材和涂层（成品）试样的重量分析程序，以确定涂层表面密度； -通过仪器化学分析方法，利用涂层溶解来测定涂层表面密度的分析程序。 除ISO 3892中所述的重量分析法外，本文件未给出所引用方法的测量不确定度。

This document gives guidelines for determining the average surface density over a measured area of anodic oxide or of a coating deposited autocatalytically, mechanically, by chemical conversion, by electrodeposition, by hot dip galvanizing and by chemical or physical vapour deposition using gravimetric and other chemical analysis procedures that have attained some degree of national or international standardization. A variety of procedures are described and include: — gravimetric procedures for chemical or electrochemical dissolution of the coating or the substrate to determine the coating surface density; — gravimetric procedures for weighing the uncoated substrate and the coated (finished) specimen to determine the coating surface density; — analytical procedures that utilize dissolution of the coating for determination of the coating surface density by instrumental chemical analysis methods. With the exception of the gravimetric method as described in ISO 3892, this document does not give the measurement uncertainties of the methods cited.
