TESTING

WITHOUT THE WRITTEN PERMISSION OF UHDENORA S.p.A.

BE USED, REPRODUCED AND OR LOANED TO THIRD PARTIES

Inspection of zinc layer must be performed with a magnetic gauger in order to

check the uniformity.
Acceptance of the batch shall be determined by the respect of what described
in para. 5, weighing the pieces before and after galvanizing.
If weigh increase is not sufficient, batch shall be refused; but they can be regalvanized to obtain the thickness requested.

GALVANIZED LAYER MASS

Galvanizing layer mass shall not be less than what indicated in the following
table:
