2.4
PAINT SYSTEMS QUALIFICATION
2.4.1
Paint systems currently qualified

The paint systems qualified according to the procedure and requirements of the Functional
Specification 20000.VAR.PAI.FUN. Rev. 2 are no longer valid; therefore they shall be
submitted to a new qualification process as described and required by this Specification.
Nevertheless the Company, in order to fill the gap following the issue of this Specification,
should approve, during the first year after the issue, the application of paint systems currently
qualified in accordance with the requirements of Functional Specification
20000.VAR.PAI.FUN Rev.2, provided that the selected Paint Manufacturer has demonstrated
the begin of the qualification process of his paint systems according to the requirements of
this Specification.
2.4.2
Paint systems qualification

Only the paints and paint systems qualified according to the requirements defined in the
Appendix D shall be selected and applied.
The qualification process shaIl apply to all coating materials, paints and paint systems
provided by this Specification, including the materials for repair. In the paint system sheet of
the Enclosures the tests required for paint system qualification are listed.
As a general rule, two test levels are required:
a)
Pre-qualification step, addressed to evaluate all the data relevant to the proposed paint
system(s) in order to evaluate their consinstency with the general requirements of the
Specification,
b)
Qualification step, addressed to the execution of characterisation tests specified for

each paint system with the scope to verify the suitability and performance for the
intended environment and service.
All tests and analysis reported in the Appendix D shall be performed and certified by
independent laboratories qualified and approved by the Company.
The tests and qualification analysis might be executed at Paint Manufacturer laboratories,
subject to the audit and assessment of the Company of the real capability (including
instruments, equipments and the general organisation) of the laboratory to perform the tests
required by the Appendix D. The Paint Manufacturer shall prepare a detailed tests schedule
in which the timing and location for samples preparation and test execution shall be reported;
the schedule shall be sent in advance to the Company whom besides to have free access to
Eni S.p.A.
20000.VAR.PAI.FUN
Rev. 3 - March 2010
Page 13 of 30
the Paint Manufacturer laboratory, reserve the right to attend during the execution of the test
without notice.
The qualification of a coating material or coating system is not binding for the Company,
which shall select, at its sole discretion, one of the paint system included in the list of qualified
paint systems.
Companys qualification is given for an open-ended term. However the Company reserve the
right to require at any time the repetition of one or more of the qualification tests to verify the
quality of the coating or as consequence of possible coating failure. If the result of one or
more tests is negative, the qualification will be cancelled.
Any modification to the formulation or components of a coating material or system, even if
considered minor, made by the producer after the qualification, shall be notified in writing to
the Company. The Company reserves the right to require the performance of part or the
complete the test procedure, or to accept or reject the modified paint, without further tests.
The modified coating material or system - when qualified - may be used in place of the
previous one or as an alternative.
The Contractor is obliged to select one or more paint system from the list of paint systems
qualified by the Company.
Under no circumstance the Company approval of a coating system shall be considered a
guarantee from the Company related to the coating materials and repair products and they
performance, but just as an approval to use it.
2.5
DESIGN AND STEEL IMPERFECTIONS

During the design and the construction of metallic components, the basic criteria listed in
standard ISO 12944-3 shall be taken in due consideration.
As far as possible, contact of different metals shall be avoided. In case, due to the
unavoidable design requirements, the contact cannot be avoided, a suitable insulated
material (Teflon or similar) shall be installed between the different metals. This includes pipes
and related supports, bolts, clips, etc. installed in permanent or intermittent immersed areas
and on external areas
The construction shall be designed in such a way that it will not interfere with the abrasive
blasting or paint application according to this Specification. No openings, holes, etc. in
structural members shall be less than 60 mm in diameter and the distances between
structural members shall be 50 mm.
Welding shots, drops and spatters, pores in the weld seams, lamination defects, edges, flame
cuts, fragments and dents or any other foreign object not removed during construction shall
be considered imperfections and therefore shall be removed before surface preparation.
The steel imperfections detected before, during or after surface preparation shall be removed
with suitable power tools according to the requirements of standard ISO 8501-3 as follows:
Grade P3: for all surfaces intended to be permanently or intermittently immersed or

buried. Edges from flame or mechanical knife cutting shall be rounded to a radius of 2
mm.
Spot and discontinue welds shall be not permitted on these surfaces.
Grade P2: for all surfaces exposed to marine and industrial environment. Edges from
flame or mechanical knife cutting shall be adequately rounded by tree passes grinding.
Spot and discontinue welds shall be not permitted on these surfaces.
Grade P1: for all other surfaces not exposed to aggressive environment and atmosphere.

As general rule the PFP material shall consist of an intumescent epoxy mastic reinforced with
hybrid carbon and glass fibre.
The PFP system shall be tested at recognised independent laboratory with proven
experience in standards and tests related to hydrocarbon fire.
Before any type of PFP system application the Type Approval certificate issued by
competent authority, shall be submitted to the Company.
Furthermore, the materials shall be tested and pre-qualified by independent laboratories
according to the following procedures and standards:
a)
NORSOK M-501 Rev. 4 or 5 (System 5a), tested without topcoat. Where these systems
are applied directly to the process equipments substrate, only primer systems prequalified under System 5a of standard NORSOK M-501 Rev. 4 or 5 will be accepted.
b)
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) Environmental Test Program and provide written

confirmation that products are subject to the UL Follow Up programme.
c)
Documented evidence that the intumescent materials, at saturation, shall not exceed 4%
water absorption after 90 days of immersion.
The PFP system shall be compatible with the application of top coat as specified by the
Company.
The PFP system is required to be suitable for application to exposed surfaces of structural
elements, vessel, piping, valves, actuators, flange etc. and shall be appropriate for
continuous service in the following conditions:
Eni S.p.A.
20000.VAR.PAI.FUN
Rev. 3 - March 2010
Page 23 of 30
Humidity: up to 100% in highly saliferous conditions, average value 82%,
Fire deluge: deluge with seawater from the fire protection system with an application rate
of up to 20.4 l/m/min.
The PFP system shall be unaffected by exposure to water (water deluge and/or fire water
hoses). It shall also be resistant to general chemical and hydrocarbon damage should the
material accidentally come into contact with these substances.
7.4.2
Approvals and certifications

The PFP system shall be supplied with Third Party issued Type and Fire certificates only;
reports, project specific testing may only be allowed with the Companys approval provided in
accordance with API RP 14G. Therefore Contractor shall provide the data required and
obtain a certificate of conformity.
All certificates shall be appropriate for the specific application identified. In particular the
certificates of Type Approval must be provided for the following:
Type Approval certificates appropriate to type of structure or item being protected.
Type Approval certificates for the appropriate type of fire the PFP system is expected to
withstand (hydrocarbon pool fire, Jet Fire or combination of both) detailing additional
thickness required to withstand the effects of jet fire.
In the case of Jet Fire Contractor shall produce approval to the standard ISO 22899-1.

7.4.2.1 Tests for hydrocarbon pool fires

Hydrocarbon pool fires are defined as a turbulent diffusion fire burning on a pool of liquid
involuntarily spilt on to an open surfaces and collected on flooring proof surfaces both on the
ground and on upper level or into restricted surfaces of the same level. The PFP systems
shall be tested and certified according to standard ISO 834-3.
7.4.2.2 Test for jet fires
The liquefied gasses under pressure do not normally form liquid pools as a result of
accidental release but they disperse as a jet of liquid aerosol or vapour. This type of releases
unlikely leads to liquid pools. Similarly the vapour releases disperse like jets. The trigger of a
liquid aerosol or of vapour jet can lead to a jet fire with high radiation intensity. The flames
length and width of the jet vary according to the upstream pressure of the release, the size
and geometry of the hole as well as the wind speed if present.
Additionally, the velocity and turbulence of the jet may be highly erosive on certain PFP
system. These effects may lead to rapid and intense localised damages and subsequent
knock-on effects such as structural collapse, loss of containment and escalation.
Although all hydrocarbon fires produce a high heat flux, overall, the jet fire has potentially the
greatest impact due to the combined heat fluxes and erosive effects. Therefore it represents
the most severe fire scenario that a PFP system could be required to resist.
The PFP system shall be tested and approved in accordance with standard ISO 22899-1 and
OTI 95 634.

PIPING IDENTIFICATION COLOURS
3.2.1
General
In order to help the identification of the fluid and flow direction, the piping installed on the
offshore structures and on process modules shall be identified by application of coloured
bands, by means of paint or stickers.
The transported fluids in the pipe shall be identified by the combination of a background and
a coding colour according to the Table A-3.
Following general notes shall be taken into consideration:
1)
The identification colour shall be applied to the exterior of insulated and un-insulated
pipelines.
Eni S.p.A.
20000.VAR.PAI.FUN
Rev. 3 - March 2010

2)
Pipe surfaces, in particular those prepared by equipment manufacturers for corrosion

protection or appearance (e.g. anodised aluminium), non-ferrous parts, or cleaned with
different method, shall not be colour banded.
3)
All paint used for colour banding shall be of the same paint system as applied on the
relevant pipelines. When stickers are used colour samples shall be submitted for
approval to the Company one month before application. Stickers have to be suitable for
offshore operative environment.
4)
The above mentioned bands shall be placed where the identification of the fluid is
necessary such as at junctions, at both sides of each valves, service appliance,
bulkhead and deck penetrations, etc.
Coloured bands for piping

Piping shall be identified by the application of coloured bands (painted or adhesive type)
compatible with the underneath coating as showed in Figure A.1:

5.3
SEALER AND TOPCOAT APPLICATION

The TSC shall be sealed and/or, if necessary topcoated in the following circumstances:
The environment in which the component and/or structure will be located is very acid or
very alkaline (normal pH for pure zinc in the range of 6 - 12 and 4 11 for pure
aluminium).
If the component and/or structure is located or will be located in environments with

frequent saltwater spray, splash, permanently or intermittently immersed in sea water,
If the component and/or structure is located or will be located in environments with

frequent fresh water spray, splash, permanently or intermittently immersed in fresh
water, excluding potable water,
The TSC is subject to direct contact with specific chemicals.
A cosmetic finishing is required,
An additional abrasion resistance is required.
The sealer shall be thinned enough to penetrate in the profile of the TSC and able to seal the
surface porosity.
Due to TSCs porosity, it will be not possible to measure the thickness of the sealer.
Therefore it will be necessary to calculate in advance the amount of paint necessary, based
on the area intended to be coated and the theoretical spreading rate of the paint (Volume
Area Control. The sealer coat shall be applied at NDFT of 40 m.
The application of sealer should be done as soon as possible after thermal spraying and in
any case within eight (8) hours.
If the sealer cannot be applied within the eight hours, it shall be verified by visual inspection
using if necessary a x10 magnifier, that the TSC has been not contaminated and it is free of
dust according to Class 1 of the standard ISO 8502-3
For the components and/or structures with service temperature above 110C, a heat-resistant
silicon sealer shall be applied.
5.4
COATING THICKNESS
The measurement of DFT, including calibration and acceptance criteria, shall be performed
according to standard ISO 19840. For the measurement the 90/10 rule shall be
implemented, namely 90% of all measurements shall be greater than or equal to the NDFT
and none of the remaining 10% measurements shall be below the 90% of NDFT.
Eni S.p.A.

Alloy Zinc/Aluminium 85/15:

5 MPa
The TSC tensile bond shall be measured according to standard D 4541 using a Type III
self-aligning adhesion tester.
5.6
BEND TEST
The bend test shall be performed at the start of each shift. For this purpose five (5) carbon
steel panels of dimensions 50 x 200 x 1,5 mm shall be used.
The test panels shall be abrasive blasted and sprayed as follows:
a) Abrasive blasting as per specified standard
b) TSC application at 200-250 m with cross passes of 75 - 100 m each,
c) The panels shall be bent using a mandrel with the following diameter:
13 mm for DFT 250 m
16 mm for DFT 380m
< 25 mm for DFT 640 m
d) The test shall be considered passed if no cracking or spalling or minor cracking which
cannot be lifted from the substrate with a knife blade, are detected on the panels.
5.7
REPAIRS OF DEFECTS
The Contractor shall repair all coating defects and damages that will be noticed during the
testing and inspection.
The coating considered not in line with the requirement described in the items Inspections
