recommendation and instruction.

7.0 SURFACE PREPARATION
7.1 General
Surface preparation shall be carried out by dry blast cleaning. Where dry blast cleaning is not
feasible due to limited access, risk of damage to equipment, light gauge steel, proximity to
electricity components or instrumentation, power tool cleaning shall be applied. This shall be
followed by solvent cleaning prior to painting.
The NACE/SSPC J oint Surface Preparation Standards for dry abrasive blasting require
solvent cleaning as per SSPC-SP1 to remove all visible contamination prior to abrasive blast
cleaning. Solvent cleaning should be performed prior to any surface preparation procedures.
If there is grease or oil on the surface then the surface preparation method can spread the
contamination over the entire surface making it difficult to detect and then to remove. Once
the surface preparation is completed then a final cleaning of any possible residue can be
performed.
All necessary precautions are to be taken to ensure that previously painted areas are not
damaged or contaminated by blasting operations. In particular no contamination of wet coated

occur the affected area shall be blast cleaned again and the paint system made good.
Where the surface being prepared lies adjacent to a previously coated surface the blast
cleaning shall overlap the coated surface by a minimum of 25 mm. Appropriate shields and
screens shall be used to cover the remainder of the previously coated surface to prevent any
possibility of damage or contamination of the coating.
After preparation of the substrate surface; a layer of primer is to be applied within 4 hours
after blasting before any contamination or corrosion occurs.

7.2 Blast Cleaning

Revision: 0
Page 12 of 23

Paints and coatings shall be fresh and shelf life unexpired. Expired paints and/or coatings
shall be removed from storage and replaced.
The color scheme is specified in Appendix 3 and shall be adhered to.

8.1.1 Application
All surfaces to be painted shall be dust free before application of the primer or first coat using
clean dry air. Industrial vacuum cleaners shall be used in enclosed areas i.e. vessels and
tanks. Test cleanliness is to be determined in accordance with ISO 8502-3: Preparation of
Steel Substrates Before Application of Paints and Related Products - Tests for Surface
Cleanliness - Part 3: Assessment of Dust on Steel Surface Prepared for Painting (Pressure-
Sensitive Tape Method)
The paint manufacturers written recommendations with regard to mixing, thinning,
application, method and equipment, drying times, curing times and over coating times of
paints and coatings shall be followed. A mechanical mixer shall be used for mixing.
Paint or coating shall not be applied when the steel surface is at a temperature less than 3
0
C
above the dew point of the surrounding air or when the relative humidity of the air exceeds
80%.
When there is a likelihood that a change in the weather conditions may mean that the
requirements for dew point or humidity, or any other stipulations of the manufacturer
regarding the conditions for application of drying of paints, may not be fulfilled during the
drying time, the paint shall not be applied.
Spray application shall be the preferred process, using airless spray guns, appropriate nozzle
sizes and pressure ranges as recommended by the paint supplier. Each coat shall be applied
uniformly and completely over the entire surface. All runs and sags shall be brushed out
immediately. Beyond the recommended inter-coating period, sweep blasting shall be applied
prior to the application of the first coat. Before spraying each coat, all areas such as corners,
edges, welds, small brackets, bolts, nuts and interstices shall be pre-coated by stripe coating,
to ensure that these areas have at least the minimum specified film thickness.
Where spray application is not feasible, paint shall be applied by brush. The brushing shall be
done such that a smooth coat, as uniform in thickness as possible is obtained. There shall be
no deep or detrimental brush marks. Paint shall be worked into all crevices and corners. Runs
or sags shall be brushed out. Paint application by roller shall only be considered in
exceptional cases i.e. for very large surface areas and after demonstrating that adequate
control of film thickness can be achieved. It shall never be used for primer and sealer coats.
Roller or brush application of glassflake epoxy shall be restricted to touch-up and stripe
coating only.
Adequate masking and temporary covers shall be provided to prevent paint being supplied to
areas where it is not required i.e. machined or polished surfaces, surfaces of stainless steels
or certain non-ferrous alloys, name plates, manufacturers identification tags, instruments and
instrument glasses, control valve stems, high strength friction grip bolt assemblies etc. If such
items are inadvertently coated they shall be cleaned and restored to their original condition.
Such masking or covers shall be removed after the painting activity is completed.


Revision: 0
Page 13 of 23

Care shall be taken that no zinc containing paints are applied on stainless steel items i.e. by
over spraying. Adequate protection shall be provided.
Paint shall not be applied within a margin of 50 mm from an edge prepared for welding.
Sprayed metal coatings to comply with NACE No.#12/AWS C.2.23M/SSPC-CS 23.00:
Specification for the Application of Thermal Spray Coatings (Metallizing) Aluminium, Zinc and
Their Alloys and Composites for the Corrosion Protection of Steel.

8.1.2 Touch-up / Repair
Before application of any coat, all damage to previous coats shall be repaired.
Areas with inadequate coating thickness shall be thoroughly cleaned and if necessary,
abraded and additional compatible coats shall be applied until they meet the required film
thickness. These additional coats shall blend in with final coating on adjoining areas.
If condensation, rain, dust or other foreign material contaminates or settles on the surfaces of
a paint coat which is not touch dry, the paint shall be removed, the surface re-cleaned and
fresh paint applied in accordance with the specification. The removal shall be limited to a grit
sweep of a surface.
Damaged areas where steel surfaces are not exposed shall be washed with a detergent
and/or fresh water solution to remove all contamination, then rinsed using clean fresh water
and be allowed to dry. The coating around the damaged area shall be chamfered, to ensure
continuity of the patch coating. The full coating system shall then be reapplied.
Damaged areas down to bare steel shall be re-cleaned as originally specified for that item
and the full coating system re-apllied. The cleaning shall be extended over the surrounding
coating for not less than 25mm on all sides and the edges shall be chamfered.

9.0 QUALITY ASSURANCE QUALITY CONTROL
9.1 Paint Trial
A paint trial shall be performed to check on the paint system and competency of the painting
contractor. The paint trial shall also ensure that the selected surface preparation and coating
requirements can be met under prevailing conditions and that any practical problems can be
identified and resolved before the actual work commences.
During the paint trial the following shall be checked and tested by the COMPANY Site
Representative:
1. Compliance with the requirements of this specification and with manufacturers data
sheets and recommendations.
2. Equipment for cleaning and for coating to be of the correct type and in good working

thickness tolerances given herein.
After the necessary drying times have elapsed, succeeding coats shall be applied in the
specified manner and to the specified thickness. Each coat shall leave a width of 100 mm of
the preceding coat exposed. Once the top coat of each system has dried and agreement
reached by all parties that the standard achieved is acceptable, the panel shall be retained in
the site office allocated to the COMPANY and shall be used where necessary as a visual
guide to the standards of cleaning and painting to be achieved.

APPENDIX 4: Piping Identification System

All Piping system shall be identified by indicating the contents in full or abbreviated form, guidelines
for sizing and colours as per tables below. Arrows shall be used to indicate the flow of direction and
where pipe passes through bulkheads or decks, be placed in visible locations. Identification shall be
labelled in English with its service and to / from designation and shall be applied at the starting and
termination of a line.

Code bands shall be placed at all junctions, at both sides of valves, service appliances, bulkheads,
wall penetrations and at any other place where identification is necessary. The code bands shall be
25 mm wide and 50 mm from centre to centre and the number of bands will depend on the pressure
ratings as follows:

150 lb 1 band
300 lb 2 bands
600 lb 3 bands
900 lb 4 bands
1500 lb 5 bands
