opinion, weather conditions are not deemed suitable for such operations.
3.1 Surface Preparation

All surfaces shall be cleaned of oil grease and other detrimental materials by steam and
solvent cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP1.
All carbon steel surfaces shall be abrasive blast cleaned to a NACE number 2 surface
(SSPC-SP-10 or SIS-05 59 00-Sa-2½). The resultant surface profile shall be an angular
blast profile and shall have an anchor pattern which shall correspond to Keane-Tator
Comparator 2.0-2.5 Mils.
Abrasive blasting shall not be done under any of the following conditions :
• Relative humidity is greater than 85%
• Any visible moisture is on the surface
• Where the metal temperature to dew point temperature difference is less than 5ºF
• During the night. Except rough blasting and should be followed by touch up during
the day.
The abrasive shall be either silica or flint. The abrasive grit size of 16-30 shall be used.
Soft sand shall not be used.
Prior to primer application, the blasted surfaces shall be cleaned of all particulates with
dry oil free compressed air.
Oil and moisture separators shall be used to provide a dry oil free compressed air supply
Abrasive blast operators shall be qualified and experienced. The operators shall have a
thorough knowledge of all safety equipment used during blasting operation
For intricate and restricted areas where blast/power cleaning is not possible, hand tool
cleaning shall be used. Power tool cleaning shall be in accordance with SSPC-SP-3 or
hand tool cleaning shall comply with SSPC-SP-2”.
Steel that has been exposed to salt laden atmosphere shall be tested for the presence of
salts using an Elcometer SCM 400 salt meter.
The compressed air used for the blasting shall be free from detrimental amounts of water
and oil. Adequate traps and separators shall be provided at the compressor and at the
pot inlet.
Blast cleaning abrasives shall be free from detrimental amounts of dirt or other such
contaminants and water soluble, acid soluble, or other such soluble contaminants. It shall
contain no more than 100 ppm of chloride (Na). A flash rush 15 minutes after blasting
indicates excessive salt presence. The surface must be fresh water cleaned and
reblasted.
Copper slag may be reused a maximum of two times and only if it meets the other
requirements of this Specification, and if a representative grit sample of 200 gms is
sieved and meets grit size G-14.
Extreme care shall be exercised to prevent damage when blasting near flange faces,
valve stems, coated bolts and nuts, control panel, instrument valves, nameplates,
machined surfaces and factory coated items. These surfaces shall be protected during

coating shall be applied in accordance with this Specification.
Surface imperfections such as slag, arc strikes, weld splatter, porosity, sharp edges, pits,
laminations, slivers or crevices shall be removed or repaired prior to coating. Any areas
where grinding is required after blasting shall be blast cleaned by CONTRACTOR to
obtain the required surface pattern.
In areas inaccessible to blasting and painting, seal plates 1/8” thick shall be added and
seal welded all around. These plates shall receive the full coating system. Areas that
cannot be boxed in shall, subject to approval by Company, be filled with epoxy mastic,
caulking compound or other suitable filler to prevent retention of dirt and moisture. These
areas include deck penetrations.
All landing surfaces for gratings shall be completely coated to the finish coat prior to
fixing. All landing surfaces of equipment, pipe-spools, support brackets, flange faces, bolt
holes and areas under “U” bolts are to be coated with the applicable paint system before
installation.
Inorganic zinc primers exposed for prolonged periods shall have white stains and zinc
corrosion products removed by using manufacture recommended procedure prior to
applying top coating. Following such washing, surfaces should be completely dry prior to
applying the top coat.
In all cases where the second or third coats were applied more than three days
previously and have to be over-coated, the surfaces shall be lightly abraded or solvent
wiped to ensure good inter-coat adhesion between these coatings. Method of preparing a
coated surface include light whip blasting or power disc sanding and washing with
solvent recommended by the Manufacturer.
Only experienced industrial painters shall be used.
Paint shall not be applied under the following conditions :
• Presence of surface moisture
• Presence surface oxidation discolouration
• Ambient temperature below 50ºF

manufacturer
• Relative humidity is greater than 85 percent
Date : 27/09/2013
Rev. 2

PC-GS-MEC-027
• Metal temperature to dew point temperature difference is less than 5ºF

• When the previous coat has not fully cured
• Under high wind and or dusty conditions which can cause excessive over spray and
other defects
• When rain showers are expected before the coating can be completely dry

When a finish coat is applied over fresh inorganic zinc silicate, a “mist” coat shall be
applied first to displace all air entrapped on the surface of the inorganic zinc.
Epoxy paints shall be applied in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation.
Coating applications, on small hard to sprays areas, shall be brush applied to reach the
specified dry film thickness.

be recorded in a log. The finished cured coating shall be free or dust or dirt at the time the
reading is made. A clean rag should be used to clean coating prior to thickness reading. A
reading shall also be recorded on the final finished cured coating DFT. The final coating
system total DFT record shall be in chalk and shall be written at the reading location.
Where the actual coating thickness is more than 3 mills below the specified DFT, the
coating will be rejected and shall be repaired.
After the coating application has been completed, the entire assembly shall be visually
inspected. Where any of the following defects are discovered, they shall be repaired or
replaced:
• Gauge glasses, instruments, machined surfaces, flange faces, nameplates, etc. shall
be examined for damage caused by metal surface cleaning or coating application
• Tightly spaced and cramped areas shall be examined for improper coating thickness
and coverage

handling of the assembly.
As a minimum, following quality control tools shall be maintained.
• Wet film thickness gauges – shall be carried by all painters
• Dry film thickness gauge
