Metal Sprayers Guide to B.S. 5493

In connection with the launching as a new British Standard of the revised “Code of Practice for Protective Coating of Iron and Steel Structures Against Corrosion”, the Association of Metal Sprayers published a “Plain Guide to BS 5493: 1977”. The “Plain Guide” introduces the new Code of Practice to owners and managers of structures, consulting engineers, designers, architects and all specifiers of protective systems for steel; it enables them to take advantage of the wealth of information which has been assembled in BS 5493 and which initially might appear to the engineer not intimately involved in corrosion protection. The Guide, main details of which are published below, charts the way through the Standard and should enable everybody more readily to make full use of the information and advice contained within BS 5493. Full copies of “Plain Guide to BS 5493” can be obtained from the Association of Metal Sprayers, Chamber of Commerce, Ward Street, Walsall WS1 2AG, at a cost of 40p each including postage.
