Coating Test Reports: Identify Whether the Specimen Was Scribed
A deliberate scribe exposes a different test condition from an intact coated specimen. The report should identify which condition was evaluated.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Record the scribe preparation and evaluation method where applicable. Compare like specimen configurations and keep intact-area observations separate.
Corrosion spreading from an intentional cut does not describe exactly the same challenge as exposure of an undamaged surface.
Decision limits
Do not combine scribed and unscribed results into one unsupported protection claim. Ask the laboratory to explain the method's intended interpretation.

Investigate an unusual coating test result with a documented process instead of automatically deleting it or treating it as definitive.

Read nano coating adhesion reports by checking the substrate, preparation, test method and failure observation instead of relying on a pass label alone.
Coating Test Panel Edges: Define Whether They Are Sealed
Exposed panel edges can create pathways or damage patterns that differ from the coated face. Their treatment must be specified in the test setup.
