This standard establishes a laboratory test method for evaluating the performance of plastic coatings for tubular goods in specific environments at elevated temperatures and pressures by use of an autoclave.

This standard is intended to standardize laboratory test procedures and aid in evaluating the general performance of plastic coatings for tubular goods.

The data obtained from this test may not indicate the performance of plastic coatings for tubular goods in actual field service and may not provide any direct correlation to such performance.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations before use.
