1 – INTRODUCTION

This technical specification establishes the minimum requirements conditions in the

application of colors for identification of structures, equipment, piping and
miscellaneous in Production Stationary Units, consisting of: Fixed Units and Floating
Units (SS, FPSO, FSO and FPU).

The scope includes painted items from EPC contractors and supplier's equipment
(packaged or skid mounted units).

2 – NORMATIVE REFERENCE

 NR-26 – Brazilian Ministry of Labor Rule (Safety Signaling);

 Portaria Maer n°1141, 08/06/78 - This document shows protection zones and
approves the airport protection zone basic plan, helideck protection zone basic
plan and protection zone plan to aircraft navigation;

 NORMAM 01 – Brazilian Maritime Authority rules applicable to Vessels Used in

Open Sea Navigation; and

 PETROBRAS Standard N-1219 – Colors.

3 – COLOR PRINCIPLES

General

As a general rule, the top color defined in this document is Mandatory and shall be
valid for all items which require painting.

All painting shall follow the painting scheme specified in the Project documents.

Carbon Steel elements shall be coated according to the specific Project approved
coating scheme and shall receive a top coating of painting according to the MUNSELL
color system

Metallized carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel shall be painted only when
specified in the Project documents.

Color bands and/or signs shall be used complimentary for equipments identification.

Piping and ducting (except where insulated) which require painting shall generally be
the same color as the wall panel (when painted), ceiling, or underside of deck which it
is located adjacent to.

The basic color is the top coating that cover the full length of piping.

For equipment marked as [RC] the corresponding color is the Recommended

Color, however, any equipment manufactured with vendor standard color which
deviates from this rule may be acceptable but require Petrobras written
approval.

For general equipment, electric control panels, electric motors, small pumps,
etc., assembled in Package Units, the manufacturer standard may be
acceptable, except where otherwise indicated.

4.3 – Piping, Valves and Accessories

All piping shall be final color painted following the adjacent structure (internal: white;
external ice gray) color, except for hydrocarbon piping which shall be aluminum..

Three stripes shall identify all piping (except fire fighting lines), where the first
and the third stripes indicate the Fluid or System (Primary) and the second stripe
indicates the Function or specific characteristic (Secondary Stripe). See figure 1
and Table 3.

FIGURE 1

Fire fighting lines shall be painted full length with the “PIPING COLOR”.

All piping shall be painted or have taped stripe placed in such a way that everybody in
the working staff would see and identify the piping and the product that it contains and
shall be easily visible from the deck, platform or access walkway.

These stripes and arrows shall also be placed each 9 meters length, maximum,
wherever necessary (see Annex A) for identification at:

 branches,
 close to all control valves/maneuver equipment, section isolation valves and
supply point, hose stations, receiving ends,
 close to inlets and outlets of the equipments (suction and discharge lines at
pumps, compressors, etc.),
 by inlet and outlet of process train (vessels, tanks, etc.),
 on each side of bulkhead or deck penetration points,
 at the start and end of pipe racks; and
 on elevated pipes, markers shall be positioned adjacent to stairways and
platforms.

The Contractor shall supply additional marking upon request from Petrobras.

All stripes colors shall be painted (or marked by tape in internal areas) in accordance
with the specified colors of the Table 3.

 Dark colored piping: White arrow/tag (Munsell N 9.5)

Alternatively to painting, in external areas not subjected to oil spills and fluid temperature
below 60oC, a weather- and UV-resistant adhesive tape may be used for piping
markings.

All the valves and piping accessories including filters shall be painted with the same
color of the piping.

The insulated piping shall be identified in the same manner.

On insulated piping with hidden electrical heat tracing, an additional warning label shall
be added in Safety Yellow, with the words “Cuidado – Heat Tracing Elétrico”; letters shall
be Black.

All piping inside tanks shall be identified with TAG and painted stripes. Adhesive tapes
shall not be applied.

The piping tags shall be according to Petrobras ET-200 and Project P&I drawings.
