1. Scope
This specification details the requirements for painting materials and equipment for use throughout
Kahramaa's distribution network.
The contents of this Specification include reference to environmental parameters for which the
material shall be rated while in service. In addition, this Specification states the requirements of
warranty, statement of compliance, ISO certification, instructions on information to be supplied with
the tender, storage and delivery and maintenance.
2. References
Should the requirements of this Specification deviate from the specifications or standards referenced
herein, this Specification shall take precedence unless otherwise stated.
Table 1: References
ASTM A123 Zinc (Hot Dip Galvanised) Coating on Ron and Steel Products
ASTM 8633 Specifications for electrodeposited coatings of zinc on iron and steel
The Bidder may propose alternative Codes and Standards provided they give an equivalent degree of
quality to the referenced Codes and Standards. Acceptability of any alternative Codes or Standard is
at the discretion of KM. The proposal shall include standard reference (number, title, edition,
particular clause), item-wise comparison between required and proposed standard reference, and
technical justification for the proposed change.
In case of discrepancy between these Specifications and applicable Codes and Standards, the more
stringent shall prevail.
3. Environmental Conditions
The Paint covered by this Specification shall be designed and rated for operation under the
environmental conditions as detailed in the General Requirements document KM-EPM-D-GEN
GENERAL.
4. General
This Specification generally covers surface protection against corrosion. It defines the minimum
requirements for surface preparation/treatment, protective coatings and paints for structural steel, iron
works, and non-ferrous metal surfaces.
Manufacturers shall comply with the Tarsheed requirements for colour / painting and screen painting
of Tarsheed logos on all four sides of the equipment for branding, when specified by Kahramaa.
The Bidder/Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to protect personnel and property from
hazards due to falls, injuries, toxic fumes, fires, explosions, or other dangers.
All Paint and thinners shall be stored in well-ventilated and protected areas. The Bidder/Contractor
shall consider air-conditioned storage facilities due to the limited paint storage.
Temporary constructions, ladders, scaffolding, runways, etc., required for the safe execution of the
painting work shall be rigidly built to safely support four times the weight of all materials, apparatus,
equipment, and workers thereon.
The Contractor(s) shall follow the QCS 2014 Section 1, Part 10 Occupational Health and Safety or
latest, for more H&S requirements.
4.2 Materials
Materials shall be from a reputable manufacturer with recorded experience and good performance of
the product used for corrosion protection and shall be subjected to material approval by Kahramaa.
The approval process shall be carried out according to Kahramaa's procedures mentioned elsewhere.
Materials shall comply with the requirements provided in ISO 12944-5.
The final coat shall preferably comply with code RAL 7032 "Grey" or as directed or approved by
Kahramaa.
The Bidder/Contractor shall obtain the paint manufacturer's recommendations, directions, and specific
provisions for application. These recommendations and directions shall be strictly adhered to. The use
of thinners is restricted to the permission of Kahramaa and the paint manufacturer.
The quality of the paints should be such that they do not form solid sediment but, at most, thin skin in
original unopened containers for not less than six months, calculated from the manufacturer's delivery
date. A paint which has formed solid sediment or more than a thin skin in the original unopened
containers by the time of use or which cannot be processed satisfactorily shall not be used. Sediment
shall be considered solid if it cannot be dispelled again quickly and entirely by stirring with an
electric-driven mixer (maximum speed 350 to 400 rpm).
Successive coats shall be from the same manufacturer and subject to Kahramaa approval before
relevant orders are placed.
Paint that does not have to be prepared by mixing several components should be delivered to the site,
just before use, in such a state of readiness that they need only be adjusted to brushing or spraying
consistency. This is to meet the relevant working conditions, such as temperature, by adding the
thinners per the manufacturer's instructions, which shall be subject to Kahramaa approval.
In the case of paints, which are only prepared for use immediately before application by mixing
several components, the components should be of such a kind to minimize mixing on site. The site
premises for mixing should be isolated from the environment, free of dust or impurities that may
jeopardize the quality of the mixture.
Paints and filling cement selected for the protection of steel or aluminium alloys against corrosion, for
which no regulations, permit conditions, or technical requirements of delivery exist, may be used if
proven suitable for the necessary degree of protection against corrosion and after approval of
Kahramaa.
Zinc paints and related protection material shall be in accordance with the latest BS-EN 1461 and
ISO-12944 (all parts), respectively, as a minimum requirement.
The hot dip galvanizing bath shall primarily contain molten zinc; the other elements (as identified in
ISO 752, EN 1179 or EN 13283, excluding tin and iron) in the molten zinc shall not exceed 1,5% by
mass. No alternative process is to be used without the approval of Kahramaa. No components likely to
come into subsequent contact with oil shall be galvanized. Bolts, including the threads, shall be
completely hot dip galvanized.
The zinc coating shall be uniform, clean, smooth, and as free from impurities as possible. All
galvanized items shall be protected against damage to the zinc coating due to abrasion during transit,
storage, and erection. Damaged areas at the layer shall be repaired according to chapter 5.9 of this
Specification.
The galvanizing procedure shall be started only after having finished all chipping, trimming, fitting,
and bending. Also, all drilling, punching, cutting, and welding shall have been completed, and all
burns removed.
All steel, including bolts, nuts, and washers, shall be galvanized at the manufacturer's premises
through hot dipping following internationally recognized standards such as BS EN ISO 1461 or
equivalent. The zinc coat applied shall have a minimum thickness grade of 85µm and higher (for
exposure category C5 and steel thickness greater than 6mm. For steel thickness less than 6mm, the
mean thickness should not be less than 70µm).
Where members are of such length that they cannot be dipped in one operation, great care shall be
exercised to prevent wrapping. All holes in the material shall be free of excess spelter after
galvanizing. All material shall be safeguarded against embrittlement during galvanizing. The zinc
coating shall be uniform in thickness and so applied that it will adhere to the surface of the steel.
Significant damage to galvanizing shall be cause for rejection. Material on which galvanizing has
been damaged shall be re-dipped unless the damage is minor and local; then, it can be repaired by
simply applying galvanizing repair paint or hot zinc spray to the satisfaction of Kahramaa.
For protection during transport and erection, all galvanized steel members shall be coated with a
suitable pre-primer with a minimum thickness of 40 microns and matching the primer to be applied
after erection. The primer shall be subject to Kahramaa approval.
If not specified, galvanized steel surfaces shall be chromated with approximately 4-micron thickness
and removed by suitable means before painting.
Single items, such as cable trays, fences, etc., shall be galvanized and PVC-covered if approved by
Kahramaa.
5. Applications
The painting requirements specified herein are for general use for all steel material ad equipment
procured for Kahramaa's distribution network.
All painting work must be performed professionally and in the application conditions according to the
manufacturer's instructions in the technical data sheet.
The contractor/bidder shall recommend the minimum dry thickness.
However, the minimum thickness shall not be less than 25µm.
Excessive coat thickness shall not exceed the maximum specified by the paint manufacturer.
Steel parts, which are to be welded at the site, shall be free from workshop coats along the welding
seams, the width of the free strip being approximately 5 cm.
Workshop priming coats applied shall be of rust-preventing material, depending on the intended use
and the length of time until the final protection is applied. Repairs should be made in good time if the
protection coat shows signs of damage. Shop primers used for transportation/storage purposes shall be
removed at the site by shot blasting, and the entire coating system shall then be applied.
NOTE:
The durability range is not a "guarantee time". Durability is a technical consideration/planning
parameter that can help the owner set up a maintenance programme. A guaranteed time is a
consideration that is the legal subject of clauses in the administrative part of the Contract. The
guarantee time is usually shorter than the durability range. There are no rules that link the two
periods of time (ISO 12944-1, Chapter 5.5).
All metal surfaces such as for switchgear, cubicles and panels, structures and supports, casings,
enclosures, frames and sub-frames, etc., i.e. all equipment or their parts incorporated in work, shall be
chemically pre-treated and shall be free from Zinc-Oxide.
The treatment shall be followed by a coating system (preferably powder coating) with good resistance
to impact/abrasion and adhesion to the substrate.
Extra amounts of Paint sufficient for all repairs shall be made available and applied to all surfaces
after erection and before commissioning of equipment if required.
In any case, at an early stage, the Bidder/Contractor shall explain, in detail, all corrosion protection
measures he intends to take, indicate the relevant standards for testing the applied measures, and apply
for Kahramaa approval of the steps as mentioned above.
The workshop priming coats are to be tested and faults repaired according to the specifications before
applying further coats of Paint.
For better adhesion and corrosion protection, priming coats shall only be applied by brush or airless
spray. The other coats of Paint shall be used following the paint manufacturers' recommendations
taking into consideration that:
1. All surfaces to be painted must be moisture-free
2. The surface temperature is not above 50oC
3. The relative humidity is above not 85 %, or the surface temperature is closer than 3oC or below
the dew point
4. It is raining
5. Sandstorms occur to such an extent that the wet Paint might be affected.
If high/low temperatures, excessive humidity, mist, or rain occur during the painting work, the Paint
shall first be allowed to dry, and areas damaged due to the above conditions must then be removed
and renewed.
Great care must be taken to ensure that Paint is applied to all surfaces, including unused bolt holes and
back-to-back members (where possible), including surfaces at joints, plates, etc.
The application shall be performed only using approved "strike-brushes", as directed by Kahramaa or
by the manufacturer's recommendation.
Paints shall only be applied on clean, dry surfaces after the approval of Kahramaa and shall
commence within four hours after cleaning if not otherwise approved. All material shall be evenly
used to be free from runs, sags, laps, skips, tears, blisters, or other defects. All finishes shall be clean
and in good sound condition. Each coat shall entirely and uniformly cover the coat underneath it.
There must be no delay between applying successive coats, but each coat must be thoroughly dry or
as directed in the paint instructions before the next coat is applied.
Before adding additional coats to painted surfaces, the existing Paint shall be cleaned from all foreign
matters and then suitably sanded, according to directions given by the paint manufacturer and subject
to the approval of Kahramaa.
The individual layers of Paint shall be shaded down so that it can easily be seen if the underlying
surface is completely covered with Paint and which paint layer of the whole system is involved. If
coats of Paint are interrupted (e.g., for welding, test marks, etc.), a margin of approximately 5 cm is to
be left untouched to obtain a satisfactory sequence and overlapping of layers.
Before every coat of Paint, the surface is to be cleaned, and damages in previously applied coats are to
be corrected following the relevant paint specifications.
Every coat of Paint shall have a thickness as even as possible. It must not be, in any place, lower than
the specified minimum dry thickness, and adherence to the manufacturer's maximum coat thickness
shall be observed, all according to contractual conditions and warranty.
All finishes shall be in clean, good, and sound condition and kept clean and dry until the Paint has
reached a hard setting. Completed surfaces that do not meet the levels outlined in these Specifications
shall be re-coated at the cost of the Bidder/Contractor.

To ensure the suitability of paints, the Bidder/Contractor shall execute sample tests at the site. Such
panels must be approved and used as a reference for quality control.
These tests shall be carried out at a very early stage of the Contract, and no paint shall be ordered
beforehand. The final Paint selection is subject to Kahramaa's approval and depends on the results of
the site tests mentioned above.
The contractor/bidder shall prepare surfaces for painting following recommendations provided in ISO
12944-4 (Chapter 7) and table A.1 of Annex A.
Personnel carrying out surface preparation work shall have suitable equipment and sufficient technical
knowledge of the processes involved to enable them to carry out the work following the required
Specification. The surfaces to be treated must be readily accessible and sufficiently illuminated. All
surface preparation work shall be appropriately supervised, inspected and approved by Kahramaa.
1. Water solvent and chemical cleaning and surface preparation according to ISO 12944-
4 (Chapter 6.2)
2. Mechanical cleaning according to ISO 12944-4 (Chapter 6.3.1 and 2)
3. Blast cleaning of steel surfaces with abrasive as approved by Kahramaa and according to ISO
12944-4 (Chapter 6.3.3) and ISO 8504-2 where abrasive material shall be according to ISO
11124 and 11126 Blasting material shall be clean and free from oil or contaminants. The
particle size shall be capable of achieving specified surface profiles explained in ISO
12944-4.
The methods described above require surface preparation according to ISO 8504 (all parts). Oil,
grease, salt, dirt, and similar contaminants shall be removed after an agreement between the involved
parties before further surface preparation using the appropriate method. In addition, prior removal of
heavy, firmly adhering rust and mill scale by suitable manual or mechanical techniques can be
necessary. Compressed air used for cleaning, surface preparation (abrasive blasting) and application
shall be free of oil and moisture. Where metal-coated steel (HDG, zinc-electroplated, etc.) is to be
cleaned, the technique shall not unnecessarily remove sound metal. A survey of cleaning methods is
given in Annex C of ISO 12449-4.
For the surface preparation for non-ferrous metals and alloys, reference should be given to ISO-
27831-2. Before painting, aluminium and other light metals shall have their surfaces cleaned and
degreased by a detergent such as trichloroethylene. One coat of a wash primer shall be applied before
proceeding with the specified coating system. Wash primer shall be applied in a very thin film (5-10
microns) direct on pre-treated surfaces.
The acceptable preparation grades shall be Sa, St and Be. Other grades can be accepted if different
surface cleaning methods have been applied.
The Paint shall be applied with an even thickness. All brush traces run, and other defects must be
avoided and reconditioned if necessary.
Rollers are suitable for large surfaces. The applied film must be as smooth as possible and of a
uniform dry film thickness. A sprinkling of the Paint and subsequent spreading out using the roller is
prohibited.
The Paint must be continuously mixed and sprayed on the evenly cross process (in two directions at a
90° angle), whereby the individual layers shall overlap. The spray gun shall always be held
perpendicular to the sprayed surface at a distance that the Paint reaches the surface when still moist.
All surfaces shall be carefully dried and cleaned before painting; in particular, removing all foreign
matters such as salt, grease, dust, sand, dirt, and rust (if applicable) according to chapters 5.2, 5.3 and
5.4 of this Specification is of utmost importance.
The surface shall either be T-washed with a suitable primer or sweep-blasted using a chloride-free
abrasive material for aluminium surfaces. If the aluminium has been anodized, care must be taken not
to damage the anodized layer, and a suitable pre-treatment must be used.
All surfaces shall be abraded for:
1. Hot-dipped galvanized steel surfaces shall be lightly sand swept, taking into consideration not
to drastically reduce the galvanization - or chemical treatment, subject to the approval of
Kahramaa.
2. Electrolytically zinc-coated steel surfaces shall be either mechanically roughened or chemically
etched by T-wash, wash primer, etc., subject to the approval of Kahramaa.
Before painting, the galvanized surfaces shall be carefully checked for damages, defects, and
impurities. In case of stubborn white rust and corrosion products, it is necessary to remove these by
sweep-blasting or mechanical brushes. However, tarnishing of surfaces must be avoided.
Systems for repair or partial refurbishment should be specified by the Contractor and approved by
Kahramaa for every object/case.
The necessary surface preparation of any old coating and the compatibility of the coating system to be
applied should be tested appropriately before starting the repair works.
Repair areas can be prepared, as explained in chapter 5.3 of this Specification, taking into account the
manufacturer's recommendations and compatibility with the previous paint system. The edge of the
painting shall be feathered by grinding or emery paper, and allowance for overlapping shall be
considered. General preparation guidelines are as follows:
1 Every possible precaution shall be taken to ensure that the damaged surface(s) shall be
thoroughly clean, dry, and free from condensation, moisture, dust, oil grease, rust, dirt
and other contaminants before applying the touch-up/repair processes.
2 Blast cleaning and painting shall not be conducted when the surfaces are less than 3 °C
above the dew point or when the relative humidity of the air is greater than 85%.
3 Any paint found to be incorrectly applied shall be removed and repainted to the
appropriate painting/coating requirement.
4 Surface preparation, whenever possible, shall be carried out by dry blast-cleaning. Hand
or power tool cleaning shall be applied where dry blast cleaning is not feasible due to
limited access, risk of damage to equipment, light gauge steel or proximity to electrical
and instrumentation components. This shall be followed by solvent cleaning before
painting.
5 Where the damaged surface being repaired lies adjacent to a previously coated surface,
the cleaning shall extend to the surrounding coating by a minimum of 25 mm on all sides,
and the edges shall be "chamfered" to ensure the continuity of the patch coating.
6 Appropriate protection, shields or screens shall be used to cover the remainder of the
previously coated surface to prevent any possible damage to or contamination of the
coating before starting any repair work.
7 Any paint coating found inadvertently applied to areas where it is not required, e.g.
machined or polished surfaces, the surface of stainless steel or non-ferrous alloys,
nameplates, manufacturers identification tags, instruments and instrument glasses, sight
glasses, control valve stem, high friction grip bolt assemblies, etc. shall be hand wiped
clean with a thinner or cleaner while the coating is still wet or rubbed down with fine
sandpaper if it is dry and restored to their original surface condition.
8 Using brushes or rollers for touch-up/repair on localized damaged surfaces where proper
coating by spray application is not feasible may be used upon Kahramaa's approval.
When using brushes, ensure that a smooth coat, as uniform in thickness as possible, is
obtained with no deep or detrimental brush marks. Paint shall be worked into all crevices
and corners. Runs and sags shall be brushed out immediately during paint application.
No paintings for electrical material can be dispatched for delivery until Kahramaa approves test
reports.
The manufacturer shall conduct type tests following the latest version of ISO 12944-6. Tests shall
occur at an internationally recognized testing station or in the manufacturer's laboratories, witnessed
and certified by an internationally recognized and Kahramaa-accepted certification body/laboratory.
Bidder shall submit certified copies of type test certificates covering proposed paintings for the supply
of electrical materials. Type test certificates/reports may be acceptable if they comply with the
relevant International Standards and the certified type test report are not older than 7 years.
KAHRAMAA may request a Type Tests repeat to prove compliance with this technical Specification
if the materials used in the offered equipment, the manufacturing process, and the place of
manufacture have changed since the equipment was initially type tested. The Bidder shall submit for
approval type test procedures and schedules for the test performance.
Routine factory testing of the paintings for electrical materials shall include but not limited to the
following tests: -
The test for assessing the adhesion shall be carried out according to ISO 2409 for dry-film thickness
less than 250µm; otherwise, ISO 4624 shall be used. The acceptance criterion is that no adhesion
break to the substrate is allowed unless pull-of values are 5MPa or more.
The Bidder shall include with his bid a list of all routine factory tests to be undertaken on the
proposed equipment to be supplied.
If required by Kahramaa, a copper sulphate test shall be carried out to check for residual mill scales.
The dry-film or galvanization thickness on steel shall be measured using magnetic or electrical
thickness gauges such as "Microtester" or "Elcometer". The findings shall be recorded in a tabulated
form, indicating each layer of coat and the total dry film thickness. The DFT shall comply with the
manufacturer's recommendation or as previously agreed with Kahramaa.
In the case of fluid-retaining structures, pinhole detection shall be carried out using a low-voltage,
non-destructive flow detector. Whereas, in the case of rubber lining or wrapping, damages shall be
checked using a spark tester.
During Paint application, the wet film thickness shall be checked continuously using an approved wet
film thickness gauge. Also, the dew point has to be constantly monitored through an approved
instrument and methods of measurement/ recording.
A pull-off adhesion test must be used in case of Paint on concrete and steel surfaces.
An approved type of multi-cross cutter for adhesion tests depending on the thickness of the coating, is
also required.
For the tests mentioned above, which shall be performed in the presence of Kahramaa, all respective
instruments shall be provided by the Bidder/Contractor and kept in good working condition and
valid/certified calibration.
1. Painting materials shall be delivered to locations where the painting is to be carried out in
original unopened containers, which shall bear a legible product designation, batch number,
date of manufacture and expiry date. The date of manufacture must not be before the date of
paint system approval.
All components shall be clearly labelled with the manufacturer's name and reference numbers.
Each component and its accessories shall be separately packed as a complete unit/assembly and
delivered ready for service.
Respective package units shall be placed within crates for shipment. The packages shall be packed to
ensure no damage to the components during transportation.
Both the manufacturing date (i.e. month/year) and delivery date shall be marked on each package, and
the time difference between these dates shall not be more than 6 months.
1. Only complete paint kits shall be mixed. No partial kits will be accepted. Surplus Paint in pots
of expired mixed material must not be used after the expiry date of these materials.
2. The painting material shall be handled and stored following the paint manufacturer's latest
published instructions and protected against damage, moisture, direct sunlight and
temperatures.
The paintings for electrical materials shall be capable of being stored without deterioration within the
temperature range of -10°C to +35°C and meet the environmental conditions specified in KM-EPM-
D-GEN. The manufacturer shall deliver all components of the paintings for electrical materials
ensuring that the difference between manufacturing and delivery shall not be more than 6 months.
8. Warranty
The manufacturer shall warranty the paintings for electrical materials against all defects arising out of
faulty design, workmanship, or material for a minimum period of 5 years from the date of
commissioning or delivery, whichever comes earlier. The manufacturer shall replace equipment that
fails within this warranty period at no cost to Kahramaa. The replacement unit should be supplied
immediately with Kahramaa's approved and successful design, which is identical to the unit provided
unless improvements are made. The root cause of failure shall be determined, and a report shall be
submitted to Kahramaa detailing the defect.

The maximum magnetic flux density in the legs and yokes of the core shall not exceed 1.7 Tesla at rated
voltage and frequency.
The construction of yoke and limbs shall be such that best space factor and highest dimensional
accuracy is achieved to keep the no-load losses and the hot spot temperature in the magnetic core as
well as the noise level as low as possible.
Electrical laminations shall be jointed, preferable step-lap overlapped, compressed and braced to
minimize stray losses and noise. Each lamination shall be insulated with high quality surface insulations
conforming IEC 60404-1-1, without burrs.
For dry-type transformers, the magnetic core shall be coated with high performance surface insulation
