Surfaces to be painted must be dry and free of all dirt, mildew, chalk, spent abrasive and any
other contaminant of foreign material that could inhibit adhesion.
Cleaning of fabricated items shall be carried out after fabrication and final heat treatment or
welding at manufacturer's works or at site, as appropriate.
In the event of the surfaces not being cleaned to the purchaser satisfaction, such parts of the
cleaning procedures or agreed alternatives as are deemed necessary to overcome the
deficiencies shall be carried out at the Contractor's sole expense.
In the event of rusting after completion of the surface preparation, the surface must be cleaned
again in the manner specified.
Abrasive should be free from detrimental amount of water-soluble, solvent-soluble, acid soluble,
or other soluble contaminants. Criteria for selecting and evaluating abrasives are given in SSPC-
AB1, SSPC-AB2, SSPC-AB3 must be considered.
For reclining small areas, hand cleaning by wire brushing may be permitted.
Ferrous metal surface protected by shop primer &/ intermediate coat after arrival on site must be
cleaned of salt, sand, oil etc. Before the first coat of paint is applied on site. Shop primer &/
intermediate coat damaged during transport must be rectified by blast-cleaning and painting
before application of the site coats.
Depending on production flow, a weld able, inorganic ethyl zinc silicate or deoxialuminate
Prefabrication shop primer dry film thickness 15–25 micron may be used.
3.3.1. Definition of Surface Preparation Grade

The following is a brief explanation of surface preparation methods. For complete definitions,
please refer to the appropriate references.
a. Solvent Cleaning (SSPC-SP1): Prior to abrasive cleaning of steel substrates, it is imperative to

solvent-clean for removal of grease and oil. A misconception exists that abrasive cleaning
removes grease and oil. In reality, it may remove a fraction of the contaminant but not all. To be
effective a solvent cleaning operation must be implemented. Solvent must be rejuvenated
periodically as it becomes saturated with grease and oil.
Steam Cleaning: This method effectively removes heavy deposits of dirt and grime by a
combination of high velocity, high temperature steam. The addition of caustic detergents or
cleansers into the water will readily remove greases and oils by emulsification, saponification, or
conversion of oil to a water soluble material.
b. Hand Tool Cleaning (SSPC-SP2): Procedure for removal of loose mill scale, loose rust, and loose
Page | 11

paint by hand brushing, hand sanding, hand scraping, hand chipping, or other hand impact tools,
or by a combination of the above methods.
c. Power Tool Cleaning (SSPC-SP3): Procedure for removal of loose mill scale, loose rust, and
loose paint with power wire brushes, power impact tools, power grinders, power sanders, or by a
combination of the above methods. It is not intended that all mill scale, rust, and paint be removed
by this process; however, loose mill scale, loose rust, loose paint and other detrimental foreign
matter will be removed.
d. Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal (SSPC-SP11): Metallic surfaces which are prepared
according to this specification, when viewed without magnification, shall be free of all visible oil,
grease, dirt, dust, mill scale, rust, paint, oxide, corrosion products and other foreign matter. The
surface profile shall not be less than 1 mil (25 microns). Slight residues of rust and paint may be
left in the lower portions of pits if the original surface is pitted.
e. Brush-Off Blast Cleaning (NACE No 4/SSPC-SP7/Sa1): Procedure for removal of loose mill scale,
loose rust, and loose paint by the impact of abrasives propelled through nozzles or by centrifugal
wheels. All oil, grease, dirt, rust scale, loose mill scale, loose rust and loose paint or coatings shall
be removed completely. Tight mill scale and tightly-adhering rust, paint and coatings are
permitted to remain provided that the entire substrate is exposed to the abrasive blast pattern
sufficiently to expose numerous flecks of the underlying metal uniformly distributed over the entire
surface.
f. Commercial Blast Cleaning (NACE No 3/SSPC-SP6/Sa2): Procedure for removal of mill scale,
rust, rust scale, paint, or foreign matter by the use of abrasives propelled through nozzles or by
centrifugal wheels. All oil, grease, dirt, rust scale, and foreign matter shall be completely removed
from the surface according to SSPC-SP1. All rust, mill scale and old paint shall be completely
removed except for slight shadows, streaks, or discolorations caused by rust stain, mill scale
oxides or slight, tight residues of paint or coating that may remain. If the surface is pitted, slight
residues of rust or paint may be found in the bottom of pits; at least two-thirds of each unit area of
surface area shall be free of all visible residues and the remainder shall be limited to the light
discoloration, slight staining or tight residues mentioned above.
g. Near-White Blast Cleaning (NACE No 2/SSPC-SP10/ Sa2½): Procedure for removal of mill scale,
centrifugal wheels. All oil, grease, dirt, mill scale, rust, corrosion products, oxides, paint or other
foreign matter shall be completely removed from the surface except for very light shadows, very
slight streaks, or slight discolorations caused by rust stain, mill scale oxides, or slight tight
residues of paint or coating that may remain. At least 95% of each unit area of surface area shall
be free of all visible residues, and the remainder shall be limited to the light discoloration
mentioned above.
h. White Metal Blast Cleaning (NACE No 1/SSPC-SP5/ Sa3): Procedure for removal of all mill scale,
centrifugal wheels. Defined as a surface with a grey-white, uniform metallic color, slightly
roughened to form a suitable anchor pattern for coatings. The surface, when viewed without
Page | 12

magnification, shall be free of all oil, grease, dirt, visible mill scale, rust, corrosion products,
oxides, paint, or any other foreign matter. The color of the clean surface may be affected by the
particular abrasive medium used.
3.3.2. Non-Ferrous Metals
a. Aluminum: Remove all oil, grease, dirt and foreign matter by solvent or detergent cleaning in
accordance with SSPC-SP1 “Solvent Cleaning”.
Sweep blast to provide a uniform roughened surface as per paint manufacturer recommendation.
Or
Specially formulated pretreatment primer (etch primer) to treat the aluminum-coated steel /
aluminum before painting.
b. Galvanized: Metal: Removal all oil, grease, dirt and foreign matter by solvent or detergent
cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP1 “Solvent Cleaning”.
Sweep blast to provide a uniform roughened surface as per paint manufacturer recommendation.
Or
Specially formulated pretreatment primer (etch primer) to treat the zinc-coated steel before
painting.
Or
“T Wash” which turns the zinc surface black when properly applied. If a surface does not turn
black the pretreatment has not been effective. Repeat the process.
In all this process care should be taken to remove as little zinc & aluminum as possible.
3.4. Painting - General Preparation and Application
3.4.1. General:
Application of painting shall conform to the applicable requirements of SSPC-PA1, “Shop, Field

F2329M and ASTM A394/A394M.
Attention shall be paid to the detail design of structural members. Provide holes and/or lifting lugs
to facilitate handling. Provide vent holes to relieve excessive pressure and to drain excessive
zinc. Hollow areas need to be well vented. Remove all welding slag, splatter, anti-splatter
compounds and burrs prior to delivery for galvanizing. Surfaces should be free from defects to
ensure a coating of good appearance and serviceability.
Pre-clean the Work in accordance with accepted methods to produce an acceptable surface for
quality hot-dip galvanizing. The surface preparation shall in accordance with the applicable the
Society for Protective Coatings method specific in Paragraph 3.3.1. The surface of the steelwork
to be galvanized shall be free from welding slag, weld spatter, burn residue, paint, oil, grease,
surface rust, mill scale and other foreign matters as are likely to interfere with the galvanizing
process.
The minimum average coating weight shall be as per as per BS EN ISO 1461 or ASTM A 123.
The minimum mean coating mass on steel sections greater than 6 mm thick shall be 610 g/m2 is
equivalent to a minimum mean coating thickness of 85 µm. For items lower than 6mm thickness
requirement of coating thickness shall be as per relevant standard. The minimum average coating
weight for bolts, nuts and washers shall be as per as per ASTM A153/A153M-01a, ASTM F2329 /

draining operations at the galvanizing kettle shall permit. The distribution of the zinc coating shall
be determined by visual inspection.
Galvanized articles shall be free from uncoated areas, blisters, flux deposits, acid and black
spots, and dross inclusions. Lumps, projections, globules, or heavy deposits of zinc which shall
interfere with the intended use of the material shall not be permitted. Holes shall be clean and
reasonably free from excess zinc. The pieces shall be handled so that after galvanizing they shall
not freeze together on cooling. All sharp edges, projections, or rough surfaces resulting from the
galvanizing process shall be made smooth without affecting the coating.
The zinc coating shall withstand handling consistent with the nature and thickness of the coating
and the normal use of the article, without peeling or flaking. The galvanized coating shall
sufficiently adhere to the steel to withstand normal handling during transportation and erection.
Inspection and testing of hot-dip galvanized coatings shall be done in accordance with relevant
international standard and as per applied hot-dip galvanized standard.
Page | 34

The Contractor shall apply a touch-up and repair coating to any hot-dip galvanized surface that

manufacture recommendation.
6. INSPECTION (SHOP AND FIELD)
Work may be subject to inspection by Purchaser / Purchaser representative and Work found not
according to the requirements specified herein shall be satisfactorily redone by Contractor at no
additional cost to Purchaser.
The Contractor shall sufficiently in advance; advice the Purchaser/ Purchaser representative
when the work is ready for inspection at the following points and shall schedule his work to allow
time for these inspections:
• After surface preparation and prior to primer application
• Prior to application of each succeeding coat
• At completion
The Contractor will be responsible for the proper calibration and functioning of all its testing
measuring and calibration equipment.
Inspection of surface preparation will be based upon comparison with: “Visual Standard for
Abrasive Blast Cleaned Steel,” SSPC-Vis. 1. Anchor profile for prepared surfaces shall be
measured by use of methods A or C per ASTM D4417 or as per ISO 8503-2.
Inspection of Wet Film Thickness (WFT) shall be based on measuring the average WFT, using a
Nordson-type Wet Film Gauge, or an Interchemical-type direct reading wet film thickness gauge,
or equal. For the Nordson type gauge, not less than two applications of the gauge shall be made
in each area to be tested to determine an average wet film thickness; for the Interchemical-type
gauge, not less than two rolls of the gauge in opposite directions per the requirements of ASTM
D1212 or as per ISO 2808.
Wet-film and dry-film thickness gauges shall be made available at the Contractor’s facility for use
by Purchaser at all times until final acceptance of the coating.

For surfaces subject to immersion service, finished coating systems shall be subject to “spark
testing” to confirm system integrity. The identified pinholes, holidays and defects shall be
repaired and retested.
If the required minimum DFT is not attained as determined by DFT tests, additional coating shall
be applied as required to attain the required DFT by contractor at his own expense.
All results of inspection and tests shall be recorded in the inspection and acceptance reports.
These reports shall be submitted along with completion documents.
7. RESPONSIBILITY AND GUARANTEES
The Contractor shall be responsible for the painting of each equipment under his contract carried
