The Painting of Structural Steelwork: B.I.S.R.A. PUBLICATION GIVES TEN‐TEAR INVESTIGATION RESULTS Available to Purchase

Assessing protective schemes is not a simple matter and, if done with the necessary thoroughness, takes a very long time. With these facts in mind the British Iron and Steel Research Association and the British paint industry started four long‐term investigations between 1945 and 1948, involving priming paints, protective paints based on tars and bitumens, metallic coatings and methods of surf ace preparation. The results of these researches have now been published in the third interim report of Joint Panel/1 of B.I.S.R.A. The following notes express the conclusions of the report in severely condensed form.
