Paints and varnishes — Coating systems for wind-turbine rotor blades — Part 9: Determination and evaluation of ice adhesion using shear test.

Scope

This document specifies a test method to determine the ice adhesion properties of ice aggregates adhered to coating systems. In this test method, a horizontal shear force is used to shear off this ice aggregate under quasi static load rates.
Note In practice, ice adhesion is determined by two different measurement principles, the centrifugal test (see ISO/TS 19392 6) and the shear test (see this document), which differ in dynamic and quasistatic shear rates.
This test method is used for testing the adhesion of static ice aggregates on the coating system (e.g. after down time of a wind turbine rotor blade).
