Painting Procedure for Refrigeration System

1. Scope
This procedure defines the painting and rust prevention procedure at shop.
But non-ferrous metal alloy steel will not be painted.
2. Surface Preparation
All surfaces to be painted shall be cleaned of oil or grease or other similar materials with
solvent and then shall be brushed and blasted with air to remove rust or scale.
Prior to above preparation, mill scale, rust scale, chips and other foreign materials shall be
removed in accordance with painting schedule.
3. Procedure
3.1 Painting conditions
3.1.1 Temperature : Min. 5 C (41 deg. F) Max. 35 C (95 deg. F)
3.1.2 Humidity : Below 80 %
3.1.3 Drying : Natural drying
3.2 Related conditions :
No paintings shall be applied outdoor when it is foggy, rainy or excessive wind.
If chemical contamination occurs in paint, it should be removed by washing with water
or solvent before painting.
3.3 Rust prevention
3.3.1 All surfaces to be painted shall be cleaned of oil or grease or other similar materials
with solvent and then shall be brushed and blasted with air to remove rust or scale. Surface
preparation shall be visually inspected after blasting or wire brushing or other mechanical
decaling according to the reference standard requirement.
3.3.2 The primer coat of paint shall be applied immediately after surface preparation. No
blasted surface shall be allowed to remain uncoated over 4 hours.
3.3.3 After painting, the surfaces shall be inspected visually for wrinkle, swelling and other
harmful defect. If repair coating is required, applicable surfaces shall be arranged by sand
paper and re-coated with same paint.
3.3.4 Dry film thickness shall be measured with coating thickness gauge.
4. Application Details
4.1 Preparation of painting
Painting should be prepared for application according to the instructions. Individual
components of multi-component paintings must be stirred before mixing. If the thinner is
required, only designated thinner should be used and thinning rate may be adjusted
according to the job condition.
4.2 Application method
4.2.1 Airless spray may be most effective in obtaining specified thickness at once.
4.2.2 Keep the spray gun at constant distance and perpendicular to the surfaces.
4.2.3 Brush or roller may be required to achieve the specified thickness.
4.3 Application work
4.3.1 Welding seams, corners and edges should always receive a stripe coat before
full coating in order to obtain adequate film built.
4.3.2 Special care should be taken to gain uniform thickness.
4.3.3 Each coat should be allowed enough to dry and interval between coats.

4.4 Cleaning of tools.

The application tools and equipments should be cleaned with the thinner immediately
after use.

5. INSPECTION
After painting, the surfaces shall be inspected visually for wrinkle, swelling and other harmful
defects. Also the adhesion of the primer to the steel substrate and the intercoat adhesion of the
subsequent coat after curing shall be determined by the application of cross-cut test. If repair
coating is required, applicable surfaces shall be arranged by sand paper and re-coated with the
same paint.
6. STORAGE OF PAINT
The storage area should be well ventilated and protected from sparks, flame, direct
exposure to sun or excessive heat, preferably located in isolated room.
