The IEC 62788-7-3 Abrasion Methods Standard and Supporting Experiments at NREL on PV Surfaces and Coatings

Conference ·
OSTI ID:1861067

IEC 62788-7-3 was published on February 22, 2022. This presentation will discuss and try to understand how and why the methods became prescribed, and gather feedback on abrasives and characterization used with abrasion tests. The presentation will also cover the methods of linear brush test, rotary brush test, falling sand test, and forced sand impingement test.
