GTR-4.0 DESIGN AND DUTY CONDITIONS
GTR-4.1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO SITE CONDITIONS
The Contractor shall take particular reference to accessibility to the site.

The Contractor shall thoroughly investigate and familiarize himself with all
the conditions at the site, the surrounding area, means of communication
and transportation, and all other factors that could hamper the smooth
execution of the contract.
Any and/or all expenses arising through the lack of knowledge or

understanding regarding the existing conditions of the sites shall be the
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
responsibility of the Contractor and no additional payment thereof shall be

made by NPC.
GTR-4.2 SITE CONDITIONS
Equipment to be furnished shall be designed and manufactured for

satisfactory operation under the site conditions indicated below.
Ambient temperature : 25-40oC

Barometric pressure : 0.974-1.03 kg/cm2

the casting may be rejected. All castings repaired by welding of major
defects after heat treatment shall be heat treated again.
GTR-6.3.4 Dimensions
Dimensions of castings shall not be reduced due to shop or foundry

practices by an amount sufficient to impair the strength of castings by more

examinations, insofar as practicable. No casting will be accepted having
defects in any category A through E with severity levels 4 or 5 when
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
evaluating defects in accordance with ASTM-E186, “Reference

Radiographs for Heavy-Walled Steel Castings” or approved equivalent
standards. Where radiographic examination is not practicable due to
configuration or accessibility, non-destructive examination shall be
performed, by dye penetrant or magnetic particle methods in addition to an
ultrasonic examination.
GTR-6.4.4 Examination of Forgings
Major forgings shall be given ultrasonic examination with liberal overlap and
other applicable nondestructive tests, to determine that they are sound.
Nondestructive examination of minor forgings shall be in accordance with
best and accepted practice to assure their soundness. The structure of

To be ready for painting, surfaces should be clean, dry and sound. The
surface to be coated shall be free from any deleterious material liable to
impair good paint adhesion or attack the coat.
For removing rust and mill scale on structural steel, piping and other steel
surfaces, those parts suitable for sandblasting shall be sandblasted to a
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
grade specified or required in accordance with SIS 05.59.00 (Sveriges

Standdardiserings Kommission) or the American’s SSPC-SP standard or
other approved equivalent standards. This applies particularly to parts
which will be in contact with water, exposed to heavy condensation and
humidity or subjected to high temperature.
For health reasons, sandblasting with quartz sand shall be avoided.
All parts of the equipment shall be sandblasted at the shop unless

otherwise specified or approved by NPC. The sandblasted surfaces shall
be shop-coated with a quick-drying highly pigmented 2-pack zinc-rich
primer, unless otherwise specified.
Parts which cannot be sandblasted shall be cleaned of rust by power tool

cleaning to the highest degree possible. That means all edges of
surfaces to be painted shall be rounded (minimum radius of 2 mm) or
chamfered accordingly. This requirement must be stated in all shop
drawings for the relevant parts.
Hand or power tool cleaned parts of minor importance and not exposed to
water or humidity may be coated with a quick-drying rust-proof primer
formulated on a combination of synthetic resins (ready-mixed paint).
GTR-12.4 EXECUTION OF PAINTING
The Contractor shall supply full details regarding the extent to which the
sandblasting and subsequent painting shall be performed in his workshop
or at the Site after installation. A properly equipped paint shop shall be
set up at the Site with a crew of specialists experienced and skilled in the

Systems, DIN 55928 “Protective Coatings for Steel Structures” or other
equivalent standard approved by NPC.
Painting operations shall only be made in dry weather and shall be

interrupted in case of rain, fog or condensation. Painting shall not be
carried out at temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius or at temperature
above 50 degrees Celsius and humidity above 80%. During the entire

thermometers and humidity gauges.
Painting works shall only proceed when the prevailing temperature is 3

degrees Celsius above dew point.

edges and special attention shall be paid to the application of protective
coatings over welds, miter joints, etc.
The first coat shall be applied immediately after sandblasting and shall be
finished within six hours to avoid new corrosion.
Shop coats shall be checked for good quality and where necessary,
before proceeding with the painting or coating operations at the Site, the
Contractor shall clean and repair all shop coats which are defective or
damaged.
Oil and grease shall be removed before mechanical cleaning is started.

Clean cloths and clean fluids shall be used to avoid leaving a film of
greasy residue on the surfaces being cleaned. Any required wash
treatment shall be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s painting
instructions.
The Contractor shall consider that damages to paintwork during shipment,

storage and erection is practically unavoidable and the application of all
protective treatment should be programmed accordingly. Care must be
taken to remove salt crystals deposited during sea transport and/or
storage at a seaport, by thorough washing with clean fresh water. It is
essential that before any coat of paint is applied, the surface shall be
prepared as described above so that it is clean and free from all
deleterious matter and completely dry.
Temporary or permanent welding shall not be permitted on areas where

the welding will damage paint or other protective coatings, unless the
areas of coatings which would be damaged thereby are accessible for
repairing and inspection. Material which has been painted shall be
handled with care and protected as necessary to preserve the coating in
good condition.
GTR-12.5 QUALITY CONTROL
The first and each successive coat shall not be applied without inspection
and approval by NPC.
The minimum dry film thickness prescribed in these Specifications shall

be observed. Of each 100 m2, one area of 10 m2 will be measured for dry
film thickness. Where the minimum dry film thickness is not achieved, the
coat shall be repaired to reach the specified minimum dry film thickness.
The dry film thickness shall be measured by approved gauges.
For checks on porosity, the Contractor shall furnish a DC variable high

tension test instrument with built-in pore counter. The test voltage shall
not exceed 2000 V. The tests shall not be performed within 0.5 meter
distance from uncovered, corrosion-resistant surfaces.

inspection of the painting finish and shall remove from adjoining work all
spattering of paint material. He shall make good all damage that can be
caused by such cleaning operations.
A detailed inspection of all painting work shall likewise be made, and all
