本文件规定了一种比较方法，用于测定熔融热固性涂层粉末在与水平面成一定角度倾斜的平面上的流动特性。 本文件所述试验方法的目的是说明涂层粉末固化过程中可能出现的熔体流动程度。该特性有助于表面外观和锐边的覆盖度。 该试验是一种比较方法，用于检查给定涂层粉末性能的批次差异。不同成分的涂层粉末的结果之间不存在相关性。 当根据ISO 8130-6进行表征时，该方法不适用于在试验温度下凝胶时间小于1分钟的涂层粉末。 这种方法也不适用于变形粉末。

This document specifies a comparative method for determining the flow characteristic of a fused thermosetting coating powder down a plane inclined at a set angle to the horizontal. The aim of the test method described in this document gives an indication of the degree of melt flow that can occur during the curing of the coating powder. This characteristic contributes to the surface appearance and to the degree of coverage over sharp edges. The test is a comparative method for checking for batch to batch variation in the behaviour of a given coating powder. Correlation between the results from coating powders of differing composition is not to be expected. This method is not suitable for coating powders which have gel times of less than 1 min at the test temperature when characterised according to ISO 8130 6. This method is also not suitable for textured powders.
