 GALVENISING
REFERENCE STD
ASTM A123: 2017 & A153: - Hot Dip Galvanized Coatings on Iron and Steel Articles 2016
BS EN1461: 2009 - Hot Dip Galvanized Coatings on fabricated Iron and Steel Articles
ASTM - A385, 384, A780.

PROCEDURE
Material Preparation (Jigging the Material) shall be carried out in accordance with Pre-Galvanizing
Work Instruction.
 Degreasing (remove oil, grease etc. by hydrochloric acid HCL percentage of solution-7%-10%)
 Pickling (HCL with small quantity of inhibitor, maintain HCL-15% & salt maintain less than
100gm/Lt.
 Rinse (water bath, water flow continuously & replace the water twice a week, acidity maintain
below-2%)
 Fluxing (when pickling and rinsing is finished, fluxing allows to remove any acid and iron salt
still leftover the surface of steel articles in pre-fluxing bath)
 Drying (When the fluxing is finished, material is allowed to dry before dipping in zinc bath to
avoid splashing)

 Hot Dip Galvanizing (The hot-dip galvanizing process is through zinc-iron alloy reaction between
iron and molten zinc at the temperature of 445*C – 455*C, additive small amount of aluminium)
 Water Quench (After galvanizing, the steel articles are cooled in Quenching Tank temperature of
which is maintained below 100*C)

 TEST METHOD FOR COATED THICKNESS (Measuring by Magnetic Thickness Gauge).

Structural Steel: - Duqm project
REQUIRED COATING
PROFILE THICKNESS DIPPING TIME

- 100 Microns 7 ~ 10 Minutes

 WRAPPING

For protections of pipes, weld joint, flanges and similar fittings from above
ground and buried or immersed. the tape covers the entire surface from the
environment.
Surface preparation
Remove oil, grease, loose rust and old flaking’s.
Coating to achieve ST2 as per ISO 8501-01
Prefer method for old pipe surface abrasive blast cleaning SA2 ½ as per ISO
8501-01.
Manufacture DENSOPOL
Before warping apply the denso primer D by brush all the area.
WFT-90-110 Microns
DFT-50-60 Microns
Drying time -20 minutes
Maintain the sufficient tension the tape cove the surface without any gap.
(0.5meter).
Overlapping minimum 25 mm or 50% (e.g.- the tape with 100mm overlapping
50 mm)
Flange/butt joints apply the mastic without any air gapes the warp the tape.
Repair
Remove the repair area. clean the area and apply batch tape or denso mastic.
And overlap minimum 25 mm overlap the tape.
Inspection
Ensure the covered surface area with no air gap or damage after 24 hours of
warping.
Holiday test to be conduct 10KV for single layer 15KV for double layer.
 INSULATION

Types of insulation materials.

 Pipe section
 Slap
 Blanket
Above three materials must choose based on Pipe size and temperature
(operating temp).
As per duqm refinery project specification.
Up to 8-inch pipe dia -pipe section must be fixed.
Above 8 inches to 20-inch pipe dia multi segment slap can be used.
Between the segment maximum gap 3mm only allowed.
That gap area must be fill with loose wool.

Process
 Remove oil/grease any dust particles.
 Slap/blanket should tightly tie with stainless steel band with wings seal.
 Maximum gap between the band 200mm.
cladding
 cladding material (aluminium/stainless steel).
 0.8/1.2mm thickness
 Overlapping of cladding 50mm.
 To fix cladding self-tapping screw with neoprene washer.
 Star type screw used to avoid damage.
 Gap between each screw maximum 75 mm to be maintained.
 should tightly tie with stainless steel band with wings seal.
 Maximum gap between the band 300mm
 Overlapped area to be apply sealant (to avoid water will not go inside the
insulation thru screw).
 Sealant TRITSOL W70
