CF00-32-AM-82-00018 Rev F03 Page 19 of 102

Contract 4100000714
13.2.2 External surfaces that are not subsequently protected by coating

All duties.
14.0 THERMALLY SPRAYED ALUMINIUM

14.1 MATERIALS
14.1.1 Thermal Spray Wires
The materials for metal spraying shall be:

Aluminium: Type Al 99.5 of DIN 8566-2, ISO 209 Grade AW-1100, or equivalent.
Minimum thickness of TSA shall be 200 µm. Maximum thickness shall be 300 µm.
14.1.2 Sealers
Sealers are intended to fill the porosity of the thermal spray coating, and not to build film
thickness.
The sealer viscosity shall be sufficiently low so as to penetrate into the porous sprayed metal
coating and seal the surface. This shall be demonstrated during qualification testing. The dry-film
thickness (DFT) of the sealer should be sufficient that all porosity is sealed. This shall be confirmed
by visual inspection under 10x magnification.
The following sealer material shall be used:
 Silicone Aluminium Sealer for high temperature service
 Epoxy Sealer Coating where Passive Fire Protection (PFP) is used.
Refer to Appendices for guidance as to where each sealer type was used on Cygnus.
14.1.3 Top Coat
Topcoats shall not be applied to the sealed TSA surface unless unavoidable and specifically
approved. This is to minimise the risk of a thick film coating being formed which could lead to
accelerated coating breakdown as described in papers by SINTEF.
Therefore the TSA surfaces shall have no colour coat and will take the colour of the sealer.
14.2 SURFACE PREPARATON

All surfaces to be prepared shall be blast cleaned to a Sa3 finish using a dry abrasive. The surface
roughness shall be defined in the coating procedure and shall typically be between 75 µm and
125 µm, in accordance with ISO 8501-1.
The surface shall have a sharp angular profile. Shot shall not be used for blasting.
All edges shall be radiused to a minimum 2mm. Cut edges (such as from flame-cutting) can exhibit
local increases in hardness due to heat input during the cutting process; this local increase in
hardness can make it difficult to achieve the desired surface profile. Such edges shall be ground
down prior to blasting to remove material of excessive hardness. The suitability of surface
preparation methods and materials shall be verified and documented by appropriate qualification
tests (see Section 14.3 below).
14.3 TSA QUALIFICATION

The TSA system proposed shall be fully documented and submitted for COMPANY approval prior to
performance of qualification tests. This shall include:
 Abrasives - name of product and Manufacturer, mesh size, cleanliness report
 Blasting and thermal spray equipment - type and name of the Manufacturer
 Spray material - name of Manufacturer, wire size, chemical composition
 Sealer and topcoat - name of product and Manufacturer
CF00-32-AM-82-00018 Rev F03 Page 20 of 102

Contract 4100000714

effectiveness of the written coating procedure.
Tests shall be as specified in ISO 14918, Annex B.1 and B.9, shall be witnessed and certified by
an independent third party authority, to be agreed by the COMPANY.
In addition to the ISO 14918 requirements, additional qualification tests shall be performed as
defined below:
14.3.1 Test coupons
For the test coupons, the same type of steel shall be used as for the actual component, or
structure to be coated. Surface preparation, coating material, spray technique, coating thickness,
etc, shall comply with this specification and with the agreed TSA procedure.
14.3.2 Bend test
Bend tests shall be carried out to SSPC-CS 23.00 / AWS C2.23M / NACE No. 12.
Each operator shall prepare and spray a minimum of three companion bend test coupons
50 mm x 150 mm x 1.8mm thick. The thermal spray bend test coupons shall not be sealed or
topcoated.
These shall be bent through 180° on a 13 mm diameter steel mandrel, with the TSAsurface on the
outside of the bend.
Should any one of the bend tests fail the acceptance criteria specified below, the operator may
make one additional attempt to qualify by spraying and testing a further 3 coupons. Should any
one of these fail; the sprayer shall be deemed to have failed the qualification test and shall be
retrained prior to further testing.
14.3.3 Adhesion test

Each operator shall prepare and spray one test panel of minimum thickness 6 mm and minimum
surface area of approximately 1 m2. The coated surface shall not be sealed or topcoated.
The adhesion strength between the thermal spray coating and the steel substrate shall be
measured in accordance with EN ISO 4624 and NORSOK M501. The adhesive between the dolly
and the thermal spray coating shall be an epoxy.
A minimum of three pull-off adhesion tests shall be performed and shall meet the acceptance
criteria below (Section 14.3.5). Should any one of the pull off adhesion tests fail the acceptance
criteria the operator may spray and test a further panel. Should any one of the subsequent pull-off
adhesion tests fail, the sprayer shall be deemed to have failed the qualification test and shall be
retrained prior to further testing.
14.3.4 Sealer
If a sealer is specified, then following completion of the pull-off adhesion tests, the test panel used
shall be sealed with the same sealer material that is to be used for the thermal sprayed
component or structure.
The sealed surface area of the thermal spray coated test panel shall be examined by means of a
microscope with minimum 10 x magnification. The sealed surface shall show 100 % coverage, and
no open pores shall be present at the surface.

Contract 4100000714
14.7 MASKING
Areas not to be coated by thermal spraying shall be masked off using self-bonding tapes,
hardwood, rubber, silicone rubber, or metallic masking. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that
the masking material does not contaminate the surface to be sprayed.
14.8 THERMAL SPRAYING

No thermal spray coating work shall be carried out when the temperatures of the steel surfaces is
less than 3 °C above dew point of the surrounding air, or when the relative humidity of the air is
greater than 85 %.
Before starting, and during flame spraying, the surface to be coated shall be warm enough to
prevent moisture (present in flame) to condense on the substrate. If condensation occurs on the
surface being coated, the surface should be preheated up to maximum 60 ºC.
Oxidation of the surface during preheating shall be avoided.
14.9 RUST BLOOM

If rust bloom, blistering or a degraded coating appears at any time during thermal spraying,
spraying shall be stopped and the rejected sprayed area marked for complete re-preparation by
blast cleaning.
14.10 FEATHERING
The edges of existing thermal spray coating shall be feathered by abrasive blasting to provide a 50
mm to 75 mm overlap with the newly applied thermal spray coating.
14.11 TSA INSPECTION

14.11.1 Appearance
The thermal spray coating shall be free from defects such as blisters, spatter, cracks, loose
particles, areas with bare substrate steel, etc. when examined with a microscope with 10x or
higher magnification.
Sealer visual inspection shall be performed for every 50 m2 of sprayed coating. The sealed surface
shall show 100 % coverage, and no open pores shall be present at the surface, when examined
with 10x or higher magnification.
14.11.2 Coating Thickness
Spot checks shall be carried out during thermal spraying of the coating to ensure that the specified
coating thickness is being maintained. The thickness shall be measured by means of an eddy-
current or electromagnetic thickness meter in accordance with ISO 2808, methods 7B (magnetic-
flux), 7C (magnetic-induction) or 7D (Eddy- current). The coating thickness gauge shall be
calibrated daily.
For flat surfaces, coating thickness measurements shall be taken along a straight line. The
average value of five readings taken in a line at 25 mm intervals shall be determined.
Thickness measurements shall be taken as 5 “spot measurements” (each average of 3 gauge
readings) per 10m² of coated surface. For complex geometries, further spot measurements shall
be taken.
The following acceptance criteria shall apply for thickness measurements:
 Local thickness of the thermal sprayed coating shall not be less than 180 µm at any
location.
 Local thickness of the thermal sprayed coating, e.g. at corners, shall not be greater than
450 µm.
If the thermal spray coating local thickness is less than 180 µm the applicator shall apply
additional layers to meet the thickness requirement.

CF00-32-AM-82-00018 Rev F03 Page 23 of 102

Contract 4100000714
excessive thickness to check its integrity, but if unacceptable the TSA coating shall be blasted off
and a new coating applied.
The applicator shall record all areas with coating thickness outside the specified minimum or
maximum value.
14.11.3 Adhesion Strength
A pull-off adhesion strength for thermal spray coating shall be performed at least once per 50 m²
of prepared surface. Pull-off adhesion tests shall be performed directly on test panels sprayed at
the same time as the production surface in accordance with EN ISO 4624 and NORSOK M501.
Acceptance criteria shall be as per Section 14.3.5.
14.12 BEND TEST

Steel coupons shall be used to monitor the quality of the thermal spray coating during application.
A minimum of three bend tests shall be performed once per 100 m² of thermal sprayed surface,
with a minimum of three bend tests per day per shift, and/or after any change in parameter
settings of the spray apparatus. Bend testing shall be in accordance with SSPC-CS 23.00 / AWS
C2.23M / NACE No. 12. The thermal sprayed coupons shall have dimensions 150mm x 50mm x
1.8mm thickness. They shall be dry blasted to finish Sa3 and sprayed to a thickness range of
between 200 and 300µm. The TSA shall not be sealed or over coated.
Each coupon shall be bent through 180° on a 13 mm diameter steel mandrel with the coating on
the outside of the bend.
Minor edge cracks with no coating lifting or spalling may be accepted, but continuous cracking
along the bend line or any lifting or spalling of the coating shall be cause for rejection. If the bend
test is failed, the thermal spray operation shall be stopped, and corrective action shall be taken
before thermal spraying is continued.
14.13 REPAIR
14.13.1 Onshore Repairs
Onshore, all damaged TSA coatings shall be repaired using TSA spray as described below.
When overcoating existing TSA, the edges shall be feather edged between 50mm and 75mm
approximately and the surface to be repaired shall be blast cleaned to SA3 finish and surface
roughness per the approved and qualified procedure.

17.0 COLOUR SCHEDULE

17.1 GENERAL
Unless stated otherwise, British Standard colours referred to are to BS 4800 - latest edition. RAL
or equivalent colour charts may be acceptable with prior authority from Purchaser.
All equipment, pipework, valves, flanges and fittings are to be painted throughout the entire length,
including in flange bolt holes in accordance with ground colour specified.
Arrows indicating direction of flow should be shown on ground colour, preferably in black (or white
where contrast is required) near to junctions, valves and vessels.
17.2 PIPEWORK IDENTIFICATION

Colour banding maybe by painting or by using a durable adhesive PVC tape, which must be
suitable for external weathering. The tape should be applied in accordance with Manufacturer’s
instructions. Banding shall be applied at:
 Bulkheads, deck and other penetrations, major changes of direction
 Package and vessel termination points, pipe junctions
 Positions such that banding sets are normally visible and no greater than 7m apart.
The primary colour (outside) banding shall be placed directly adjacent to and on each side of, the
secondary colour (inside) band. Width of bands shall be 150mm. A flow direction arrow in black
shall be located on the pipe downstream of the colour bands on pipe-work. Arrows shall be 150 -
200 mm long x 25mm wide at the base of the band head and at the tail.
Stainless steel pipework and pipework coated with thermal spray aluminium shall have service
indicated by colour banding alone, unless otherwise specified.
Insulated piping shall have service indicated by colour banding alone over the cladding.
Colour banding shall be in accordance with the following table and BS 1710 where information
does not exist.
17.3 PIPING SYSTEM COLOUR SCHEDULE

Piping shall be painted white in accordance with BS 4800 00 E 55. For corrosion resistant alloys
where protective coating is not required, and for thermally sprayed aluminium surfaces, the
material shall be left self-coloured apart from white painted bands to allow the fixing of adhesive
flow marking decals.
All piping shall be identified by service using colour bands in accordance with Table 22. These
colours shall normally be applied by coloured adhesive plastic tape markings rather than by
painting, and such markings shall as a minimum be placed at all bulkhead and deck penetrations
(above deck penetration only), either side of every valve, at each tee or branch connection. In order
to avoid any requirement for separate marking of flow direction with arrows and for individual
service names, the colour marking tapes may incorporate flow arrows and service names if
desired.
Note the following exceptions:
 Adhesive decals are NOT to be applied directly to bare duplex, superduplex or austenitic
stainless steel piping but only onto painted bands applied specifically for this purpose
(System 16 refers).
 Adhesive decals shall be applied directly to bare copper refrigeration piping without the
need for paint bands.
 Coated piping operating above 70°C that is uninsulated but protected with personnel
guards shall not have adhesive decals fixed directly to the pipe but these shall be fixed to
stainless steel plates, which shall then be securely attached to the guarding.
For Package Equipment and Assemblies, application of the colour schedule will need to be
considered at time of Purchase Order (PO) for optimum tie-in with site applied piping systems.

CYGNUS SPECIFIC PFP AND COATING INTERFACES
PFP interfaces are detailed in CF00-32-AM-87-00001. Since the issue of this document the
interfaces required between TSA, Contraflame and Chartek were modified to cover areas on
Cygnus APU where additional Chartek was required to meet safety case requirements. These
detailed are recorded below. In addition, Intertherm 7050 insulation has been applied to the APU
flare are the transition details provided by International Paints are attached.

Appendix 5 –
WELDING PROCESSES TO AVOID PAINT DAMAGE
Where it is necessary to weld to deck plate to which Intertherm 228 and Contraflame laminate
have been applied underneath, tests have been performed to develop procedures to allow welding
to take place with the minimum of damage.
Figure A-1 shows the test piece with 50mm long 4mm leg length fillet welds. Thermecouples on
the (insulated) rear face recorded the maximum surface temperature, which must be less than
230°C to avoid damage to Intertherm 228.
Figure A-1 Welding Test Piece

The maximum temperatures recorded were:
 SMAW: 210°C
 GSFCAW: 190°C
 GSMCAW: 149°C
Photographs of the paint on the rear face after welding are shown in Figures A-2a and b overleaf.

Figure A-2a Paint Damage from FCAW & MCAW
Figure A-2b Paint Damage from SMAW

Whilst the temperatures recorded are all less than the 230°C damage temperature, the following
steps should be taken when welding on deck plate to minimise the risk of coating damage:
 Fillet welds cannot be continuous but must be stitch welded with a maximum
length of 50mm – 100mm gap – 50mm weld etc.;
CF00-32-AM-82-00018 Rev F03 Page 101 of 102

Contract 4100000714
 4mm leg length maximum;

 Ideally GSFCAW or GSMCAW not SMAW;
 Minimise heat input within the bounds of the WPS;
 Minimise preheat within the bounds of the WPS;
 Fill remaining gaps in stitch welding with suitable sealant.
If these steps cannot be undertaken and longer welds or larger weld sizes are required then
stripping and recoating of the damaged paint and PFP will be required.
