T 150oC), coating system as for un-insulated pipes and vessels shall be used.

2.12.5 Coating to mitigate risk for chloride stress corrosion cracking


Stainless steels items which will be operating above the temperature limit for chloride stress corrosion
cracking shall be externally coated. Applicable coating systems are no 2A and 6 in accordance with the
requirements of this document. If type 316 is used above 60ºC coating system 2A shall be used.
Requirements for such coating shall be given in the design documentation.

2.12.6 Coating of splash zone and exposed areas below deck


Relevant requirements for coating system no 1 and no 7 shall apply. Additional requirements are given
below.

For the splash zone on jackets and floating platforms, the following shall apply:
Glass flake polyester applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 1000 µm DFT. Glass flake
epoxy applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 600 µm DFT. The coating system shall pre-
qualified in accordance with M-501 clause 10.1 as both system no 1 and system no 7, and relevant
successful field experience shall be documented.

For the splash zone on ship shaped floating structures, one of the following two alternatives shall apply:
The same as for jackets and floating platforms as described above.
As specified in M-501.

For the areas between the splash zone and underside of deck, one of the following alternatives shall
apply:
Coating system no 2A (only if grey colour and coarse surface finish is accepted).
Coating system no 2B.
Glass flake polyester applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 1000 µm DFT or glass flake
epoxy applied in at least two coats to a coating thickness 600 µm DFT. Systems shall be pre-
qualified in accordance with M-501 clause 10.1.

2.12.7 Coating system no 1


Deck areas; see also requirements for coating system no 4 in paragraph 2.12.9.

2.12.8 Coating system no 2


In addition to the mandatory requirements for coating system no 2 in NORSOK M-501, the following shall
apply:
Coating system no 2A or 2B shall be applied on underside of bottom deck. This includes piping, and
outfitting under bottom decks on offshore platforms.
Coating system no 2A or 2B shall be applied on lifeboat stations.
Note 4, describing phenolic epoxy as an alternative to metalizing, shall not apply.

On Troll A and Kollsnes, coating system no 2A or 2B shall in addition be used in marine atmosphere on all
carbon steel equipment, carbon steel pipes with diameter >3” and carbon steel valve manifolds.

For approved deviations, where application of thermally sprayed Zinc or Aluminium is determined not to be
a feasible method for maintenance, the following shall apply;

from 2012-10-01
Page 7 of 14
Validity area: Corporate technical requirements/On- and offshore
Governing document: Surface preparation and protective coating Classification: Internal

for structures, coating system no 1 may be selected;


for insulated piping and equipment operating at <120 oC, coating system no 1 or 9 may be selected;
insulated and uninsulated surfaces with temperatures >120 oC, require special evaluation.

2.12.9 Coating system no 4


The following requirements shall apply:
Minimum dry film thickness of complete system: 3000 µm.
Minimum 2 coats shall be used. Prior to applying the coating with non-skid aggregates, a primer (and
any second coat) without aggregates shall be applied and fully cured to ensure that no aggregates
penetrate to the substrate.
In the pre-qualification testing defined in NORSOK M-501 Table 1, the acceptance criteria for corrosion
from a scribe shall be 3mm regardless of the type of primer used, i.e. also when other primers than
Zn (R) are used.

Coating system no 4 may be used on other deck areas as alternative to the 4 coat system 1 with
aggregates.

Based on an overall evaluation of cost and fulfilment of functional requirements, application of coating
system no 4 on complete deck areas should be considered as a replacement for the 4 coat non-skid
coating system no 1. In such cases a thinner layer with non-skid aggregates may be applied such that the
overall thickness is minimum 1500 µm, but the primer coat(s) shall be in compliance with a full coating
system no 4. The reduced coating system shall be pre-qualified according to the same requirements as a
full coating system no 4.

2.12.10 Coating system No. 6


Modification and clarifications:
Coating system no 6 shall be applied on:
- all insulated stainless steel piping and vessels regardless of the location;
- all uninsulated 316 stainless steel vessels and piping >2” in production and process systems
carrying hydrocarbons and which are located in marine environments without mechanical
ventilation or HVAC
- 316 stainless steel valves in such systems may be left uncoated, except for the weld zone on
valves welded in to the piping system.
Coating system no 6 shall be replaced with coating system no 2A as specified in section 2.12.5.
2x125µm epoxy phenolic may be used at operating temperatures up to 150oC, and can be used at
higher temperatures if the product is documented and has a relevant track record. Accordingly, silicone
paint shall not be used in the temperature range where epoxy phenolic can be used.
Hot-dip galvanised steel structures like handrails and ladders shall be painted when located in
outdoors marine atmosphere.
Hot-dip galvanised steel items located inside vessel hulls or platform substructures can be left
uncoated.
Hot-dip galvanised steel fittings, brackets, hand-wheels on valves, bolts etc. shall not be painted
except in cases where this is a specific requirement, for example for safety reasons. If the above items
are painted, system 6 shall be used.

Corrosion protection of insulated instrument tubing and small-bore piping with nominal diameter 2 inch:
Blast cleaning of small bore piping and tubing is normally not practically feasible. Materials grades like
stainless steel type 316 and 22Cr duplex which shall be painted under insulation should, therefore be
avoided for outdoor marine environments.

Pre-insulated unpainted stainless steel type 316 instrument tubing is acceptable for indoor conditions.
6Mo, 25Cr duplex stainless and more corrosion resistant instrument tubing and small-bore piping with
nominal diameter 2 inch may be left uncoated under insulation unless otherwise specified.

2.12.11 Coating system No. 9


Bulk supplied valves actuators and gear boxes shall be coated with 1x75µm Zinc ethyl silicate and an
epoxy tie coat. Final coating conducted at the assembly site shall be as follows:
Surfaces with maximum operating temperature 120 oC shall be further coated to comply with coating
system no 1.
Surfaces with maximum operating temperature > 120 oC shall be reblasted and coated with coating
system no 2A.
