7 SURFACE PREPARATION
7.1 Shop Preparation
Prior to commencement of surface preparation all surface defects likely to be detrimental to

the protective painting system shall be removed. All edges at saw cuts, burrs and sharp
edges shall be similarly removed. Where extensive grinding has been necessary the
dressed areas shall be re-prepared to remove all rust and provide an adequate paint key.
Surface defects of structural steelwork shall be assessed and rectified when not compliant
to the requirements of BS EN 10163.
7.1.1 Prior to blast cleaning all grease and oil contamination shall be removed by wiping or
scrubbing the surface with rags or brushes wetted with solvent followed by a wipe down with
clean dry cloths. Alternatively proprietary emulsifying agents may be used; where this
method of cleansing is employed the surface shall be thoroughly washed with clean water
and then dried before proceeding.
7.1.2 Blast cleaning shall not be carried out whilst the temperature of metal surfaces are less than
3°C above the dew point of the surrounding air or when the relative humidity of the air is
greater than 85%.
7.1.3 All blast cleaned surfaces shall be primed before visible re-rusting occurs or within two
hours of the commencement of blasting. If visible re-rusting occurs after more than two
hours have elapsed then the metal surfaces shall be lightly reblasted and where necessary
washed to remove rust blooming and accumulation of soluble salts. Spent blast abrasive
shall be completely removed from the prepared surface by either vacuum cleaning or stiff-
brush sweeping.
7.1.4 When additional areas are blasted adjacent to newly primed areas, at least 50 mm of the
previously primed area shall be reblasted, with the abrasive directed away from the coated
surface.
7.1.5 The maximum vertical distance between the summit of any peak and the depth of an
immediate adjacent trough on blast cleaned surfaces shall be 80 micron.
7.1.6 The minimum peak-to-valley height shall be 30 micron.
File Name:5440-8440-SP-000-0030-S1.DOC
DOCUMENT TITLE
7.1.7 Regular measurement of the roughness of the blasted surface shall be carried out using one
of the following methods:-
7.1.8 The roughness of the blast cleaned surface is initially measured with a flat-ended calibrated
micrometer. The surface is then ground until the bottoms of the deepest pits only are visible,
and a further thickness measurement taken. (Suitable instruments are the Elcometer
surface profile meter or Microtest).
7.1.9 The roughness of the last cleaned surface is visually compared with a reference surface.
Suitable comparators are Rugotest or Keane-Tator Surface profile comparator.
7.1.10 Only dry blast cleaning techniques shall be employed and abrasives shall be expendable
copper slag or re-usable iron and steel grit. A non-metallic blast abrasive,
e.g. aluminum oxide, shall be used when abrading stainless steel surfaces. For blasting of
items prior to galvanizing the abrasives shall be in accordance with paragraph 10.1.1 below.
Abrasive blast cleaning employing sand is not permitted.
7.1.11 Abrasive materials shall conform to ISO 11124 for metallic abrasives and ISO 11126 for
non-metallic abrasives.
7.1.12 Abrasive size shall be selected to best suit the type of priming material and to satisfy the
PAINT MANUFACTURER’s recommendation bearing in mind the restriction imposed by
Paragraph 7.1.5 and 7.1.6 above.
7.1.13 At the commencement of each project sample metal panels shall be prepared to
demonstrate ability to comply with the specified level of cleanliness and, after APPROVAL,
shall be used as the standard for the remainder of the project work.
7.2 Field Preparation
7.2.1 All the provisions for SHOP Surface Preparation shall be applicable for FIELD Preparation.
If the specified requirements are impractical because of FIELD Conditions, this specification
becomes invalidated and revised coating systems shall be devised to suit the imposed
FIELD Preparation conditions.
7.2.2 SHOP prepared and primed surfaces shall be FIELD repaired after erection of primed plant.
7.2.3 Over areas considered to be inaccessible after erection SHOP applied primer repairs,
FIELD applied primers, undercoats and finishing coats shall be applied, dried and cured
before construction takes place. Care shall be taken to allow sufficient drying and curing
time before moving, lifting or erecting newly painted surfaces.
7.2.4 Prior to mechanical preparation and application of priming paint the metal surface and
feathered area of SHOP coating shall be solvent cleaned and thoroughly washed with clean
water to remove all soluble salts and dried in a manner which will not re-deposit
contaminants on to the cleaned surface.
File Name:5440-8440-SP-000-0030-S1.DOC
DOCUMENT TITLE
7.2.5 FIELD surface preparation local to weld areas shall be carried out by vacuum blast method
as far as is practicable within the FIELD construction conditions. Where surface cleaning by
abrasion blasting is prohibited, weld and other small areas shall be prepared by use of
Power Tool Cleaning or Hand Tool Cleaning or a combination of these methods depending
on the contour and position of the surface to be painted and a PURCHASER APPROVED
primer material suitable for the cleaning method selected.
7.2.6 Surface preparation with Power Tool or Hand Tools shall be pursued to achieve a level of
Cleanliness equivalent to ISO 8501-1 St 3.
7.2.7 The cleaning method(s) undertaken shall remove all weld flux slag and fumes, weld heat
oxides and weld metal spatter in addition to all loose mill scale or loose paint if present after
welding and testing has been completed.
7.2.8 The use of grinding discs may be included to achieve the removal of tightly adhering weld
splatter, but great care shall be taken to ensure that surfaces shall not be polished nor left
with a detrimental roughness.
