Inorganic Coatings – Definitions and Principles for Porosity Testing. ISO 18332:2007 defines and describes principles for porosity testing of inorganic coatings. Porosity testing identifies and quantifies pores or voids in coatings, which can affect their corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The standard details various test methods, such as electrochemical testing and microscopy, to detect and assess porosity in coatings. It also provides guidance on interpreting and reporting results. Porosity testing is essential for ensuring a coating offers adequate protection and is free from defects that could compromise performance.
