15. REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR EXTERNAL TANK SURFACE

A. The coating surface not exposed the substrate to be over coated which become
contaminated or paint damaged shall be cleaned by solvent cleaning and or lightly brush,
sanding and after wipe out with clean rags to ensure that the surface is free of all contaminations
prior to applying the following coats. The coating around the damage area shall be chamfered
or feathering using sandpapers and applied paint with full system the overlapping must be
5O mm all side.

B. The surface coating damage are exposing the substrate surface shall be re-cleaned as
originally specified for that item and the full coating system reapplied in accordance with the
paint manufacturer' recommendation the re-cleaning shall be carry over onto tightly
Adhering surrounding coating for not less than 50mm all around and the edges shall be
chamfered or feathering by sandpaper. The remainder of existing coated surface shall properly
protected with shields to prevent any possible damages to the coating.

C. Repairing of High built epoxy primer damaged area surface shall be cleaned to remove all
loose materials and blast cleaned with a portable vacuum blast cleaning machine. Where
the maximum operating temp is below 120° ( the surface shall be coated with one coat of the
zinc rich.

D. Repairing of fully cured epoxy coating or full cured painting the coated has been suitably
abraded to provide an adequate tooth for the painting to be applied.

16. REPAIR PROCEDURE FOR INTERNAL TANK LINING

A. Surfaces adjacent to repair area shall be protected from damages. Suitable protective cover
shall be cardboard or similar materials. Areas required spot blasting required vacuum blasting
to avoid spillages of garnet in the area and dust.

B. Damaged surface lining shall be removed unless it is tightly bonded to the substrate metal.
the surface shall be wiped with clean rag to remove all dust and loose materials. If there is
any oil, grease or other foreign matter are present, it shall be washed with a water based
biodegradable cleaner followed by further rinsing with portable water to remove all traces
of cleaner. The surfaces must be dried.

C. Any painted surfaces with pinholes may be cleaned using pencil-head type grinding wheel.
pinholes shall be repaired as follows:

i. Grind back to the steel substrate at the pinholes and feather the edges of the existing
 Lining with clean sandpaper back for radius of 3 to 5 cm, ensuring that the steel substrate
does not become polished.

ii. All dust shall be removed with industrial vacuum cleaner equipped with a brush.

iii. Brush full system (except primer) on to the prepared surface.

iv. Allow the material to cure to a tack-free state and recoated as necessary to bring
thickness to that specified in paint system table for internal lining.

V. Areas which is under thickness (Spot work)

1. Uniformly abrade all surfaces so at least 75% of the surface area is randomly
roughened and wipe with acetone to remove dust and contamination.
2. Apply one coat of topcoat, checking wet film thickness during application to achieve
necessary thickness. After cure, recheck dry film thickness of the repaired areas.

Over Thickness (Spot Work)

1. Abrade the area to an acceptable thickness using suitable equipment.

2. All other repair requirement be in accordance with Paint Manufacture
Recommendation.

17. INSPECTION, TESTING AND REPORTING RECORDS

A. The applied lining shall be free of runs, sags, voids, drips, overspray, pinholes, loss adhesion,
blistering, peeling, inadequate cure, spot rust, localized rusting and any other defects.

All defects on the paint surface shall be repaired and re-inspected. RFI will be raised as followed.
• Surface preparation prior to apply primer coat
• Primer inspection prior to next coating
• Mid coat inspection prior to apply final coat
• Final coat inspection
• Holiday test or Pinhole test
• Material Receiving inspection

* Notes: During inspection the attached IR (Inspection Report) in the RFI (Request for Inspection) will be
sign by Contractor Painting Inspector and Company Painting Inspector.

B. Inspection Surface preparation shall be in accordance with project specifications for painting.
 Ambient temperature and relative humidity shall be checked and recorded before proceeding
to surface preparation and coating.

Measuring Thickness of Paint

1. Dry film thickness (DFT) of each coating shall be checked by an Positector dry film thickness
gage. Measurements of the D FT shall be taken in accordance with SSPC- PA2. Minimum Dry
film Thickness: Each spot’s average dry film thickness shall be equal to or more than 80 % of
specified dry film thickness. All spots’ average dry film thickness shall be more than specified
dry film thickness.

2. Max dry film thickness: Max dry film thickness shall be in compliance with paint
manufacturer’s instruction.

3. Coating Supervisor shall keep an accurate record of air temperature and humidity
condition at the time of commencement and cessation for all the phases during cleaning,
surface preparation and paint application.

Holiday Detection (ISO 29601:2011(EN))

When protective coatings are applied there is a possibility that flaws have occurred due to the
presence of trap air, or voids and pinholes and these defects only largest can be detected visually.
Holiday Detections inspection shall be conducted using either of this two instruments considering on
the paint film thickness.

a) Low Voltage Detector

The wet sponge method is most commonly used. This is suitable for coatings up to
approximately 300 micron. The method of operation is to draw the moistened sponge
over the surface. Where the defect has occurred a small current will flow and activate
and audible alarm. Excessive wetting of the sponge should be avoided.
For thicker film a higher voltage is required for flaw detection. Two types are used, either
with AC or DC voltages. The AC type is not totally satisfactory, as the coating is subject to
cyclic stresses which can cause fatigue and subsequent breakdown of some coatings.

The DC type produces a continuous current. Care must be taken with high voltage (spark) detectors to
ensure that the test voltage selected is not excessive for the coating thickness.
Voltage for Test
 Voltage (V) Coating Thickness (microns)

9 Up to 300

90 Up to 500

* Note : When coating thickness exceeds 500 micron, high voltage holiday detectors are
recommended and nominally set SV/11m based on DFT or as agreed with paint
manufacturer,but not exceeding 25KV in total.
