Coating operations are only allowed to proceed in bad weather

SAES-H-201,
B1 conditions (rain, high winds, etc.)if protective canopies approved
Para. 7.3.6
by SA Inspector are used.
Coating is applied with in 4 hrs, of blast cleaning before any rust
blooming of the prepared metal surface occurs.. SAES-H-201,
Para. 7.3.2
B2
Any flash rusting observed shall be re-blasted prior to coating. SAES-H-002
Refer to the surface preparation and coating application APCS-Sheets
requirements given in APCS Data sheets

Application of phenolic primer prior to the application of FBE is

carried out using a machine to ensure that the travel of application
is constant and that the DFT will not exceed 25 microns (One mil) SAES-H-002,
B3
in all areas. Para. 5.2.3
Note : One mil thickness is exceeded if the “peaks” of steel

such as holidays, fish eyes, lumps, dry spray, sags, and runs.

Coating overlap shall be within the thickness specified in SAES-H- SAES-H-201,

C3 200 and / or as per the applicator's procedure approved. Para 8.2.4

Cure Test is performed on first five joints coated and twice each
SAES-H-201,
C4 day there after, and found acceptable the results are recorded
