Inspection and Testing

Inspecting galvanized steel is a simple process. Zinc will not adhere to or react with unclean steel; therefore, a visual inspection of the product provides a good assessment of the quality of the coating. The coating thickness is usually tested using a magnetic thickness gauge. The testing and sampling requirements are contained in the appropriate specification for the product (AS/NZS 4680 and AS 1214).
