4. MATERIALS

N.B; for this Project, the proposed painting system from the client has selected for Painting of pipe and
welded Joints.
Materials shall be used before the shelf life expiry date.
Cleaning Material shall be clean and dry and shall be free of oil or other contaminants. Thinners Solvents and
Cleaners shall conform to coating manufacturer’s recommendation. Touch Up materials shall be compatible with
that originally applied.

5. SURFACE PREPARATION

5.1. General

Prior to applying a coating, it is essential to thoroughly cleanse the steel surfaces of any substances that could
compromise the quality of the surface treatment and the adherence of the paint material. This includes addressing
any pre-existing old or weathered coatings that may be loose, cracked, or dissolving, as well as removing
contaminants like dirt, dust, soot, grease, and most notably, rust. Complete removal of mill scale is imperative.
Furthermore, any coatings previously applied by the manufacturer must undergo inspection to ensure their
adhesion. Corrosive areas must be treated to remove rust and receive necessary touch-ups.

5.2. Degree of Derusting

The grade of surface treatment of steel parts is defined by different classes of different standards. The
designations of OIN 55928 (preferred to be used), Swedish Norm SIS 055900 and Steel Structural Painting
Councel SSPC are almost comparable.

5.3. Manners of Derusting

The different methods of derusting of steel surfaces corne into use:

• Hand tool cleaning
• blast cleaning, steel-shot blasting

5.3.1. Hand Tool Cleaning

Manual derusting is primarily applied to steel surfaces of small size or specific steel structures. However, this
method should only be used when no other derusting treatment is possible. Manual derusting is carried out using
tools such as a hammer, scraper, spatula, wire brush, and emery paper.

Special care must be taken when removing mill scale, which is typically highly adhesive. In most cases, mill
scale can only be removed with hammer blows. However, it is crucial to avoid deforming or damaging sensitive
parts. The use of chisels is not permitted, as it often results in surface damage

5.3.2. Blast Cleaning

The derusting process can achieve satisfactory results when carried out meticulously. Depending on the extent
of rust, this method is used to cleanse the metal surface to either a slight shade (Sa 2 1/2) or a metallic-clean
surface (Sa 3).

The blasting material should comprise either melting slag or steel grit, which is commonly used in stationary
blast facilities. The use of quartz sand is strictly prohibited. It is the responsibility of the contractor to remove
the blasting material.
When blasting stainless steel, it is imperative to ensure that the blasting material is entirely free of ferritic
particles and chlorides.
In cases where extremely hard rust or mill scale requires treatment, it should be addressed initially with hammer
blows before proceeding with blasting.
Care should be taken during the blasting process to maintain a uniform roughness of the steel surface. The peak-
to-valley height should be around 50 micrometers (2 mils), and the grain size should not exceed 1.2 mm. The
grain size for sweep blasting stainless steel depends on the desired roughness and should be approximately 0.5
mm for a depth of 15 micrometers or
1.0 mm for 40 micrometers.
Surfaces that are already painted and insulation cladding must be safeguarded against sand spray. It is the
responsibility of the painting contractor to provide and install the necessary protective equipment.
Under no circumstances should machines, motors, valve stems, and other powered objects be subjected to
blasting. When blasting near machinery, control and shut-off devices, level indicators, and other instrumentation
equipment must be carefully covered to prevent the penetration of blast dust.
When blasting installed vessels and pipes, all gaps on flange connections should be sealed to protect the flange
surface and the enclosed gaskets from blast material.
The blasting material used must be pure, dry, and free from oil. Blast cleaning is only allowed on dry surfaces
with a temperature not below 5°C and a relative humidity not exceeding 80%.
The working pressure and nozzle size should be adjusted to ensure effective derusting without any issues.

6. APPLICATION OF COATING

6.1. General Instructions

For storing paints and thinners as well as for decanting, stirring-up and diluting an apart located storehouse is to
install which shall be provided with an escape door and suitable ventilation. This store must be protected against
excessive hea.t, open tire, f1ying sparks and direct exposure to sunlight.
All paint bins shall only be opened just prior to utilization and have to be carefully closed immediately after
withdrawal of material.
Gelatinized paints or paints and thinners which otherwise became unserviceable during storage may not be
applied.
Paints shall be applied first, which have been stored longest.
All paints shall be stirred well and leave until air bubbles cannot be remarked any more. Stirring- up will also
become necessary repeatedly during application in order to prevent pigment settling
The application of paint material shall be carrled out by brushing, rolling, spraying or combinations of thèse
methods. Prime coats, at ail events, has to be applied only by brushing or by airless-spraying. Rolling of prime
coat is not allowed.

6.2. Applying by Brusch

Round or oval brushes are best suited for rivets, bolts, uneven surfaces, as well as rough and damaged steel.
However, for larger surfaces, flat brushes are preferred, provided they do not exceed a width of 13 cm (5 inches).
When dealing with challenging areas such as hard-to-reach corners, angles, slots, grooves, and tight interstices,
it is necessary to switch from large brushes to smaller and specially shaped ones. The supervising authority must
give special attention to the selection of application brushes.
The paint material should be applied uniformly with a consistent thickness. It is essential to ensure that all slots,
recesses, grooves, corners, angles, and interstices are adequately covered with paint. In the case of highly
profiled or sharp-edged steel sections, it is advisable to apply a preliminary coat to these edges.
Efforts should be made to avoid excessive build-ups and brush streaks whenever possible. Any sags or runs in
the paint must be corrected by distributing or removing them, followed by the application of a fresh coat to
ensure uniformity. Surfaces that are difficult to brush should be sprayed instead.
For larger surfaces, paint rollers are the most suitable choice. The coating film should be smooth and consistently
thick. However, roller application for the initial coat is strictly prohibited.

6.3. Application of the Spraying Method

The equipment employed must enable precise paint spraying and feature a reliable pressure control mechanism.
In order to remove any oil and condensed water from the spraying air, appropriate separators are essential. These
separators must undergo regular cleaning throughout the spraying process. Continuous and thorough mixing of
the paint within the spray gun is imperative during the spraying operation. Both the pressure within the spray
gun and the storage container need to be finely tuned to achieve the optimal spraying results. Specific details
concerning the equipment type, nozzle size, and operational pressure for the spraying apparatus should be
provided by the paint material supplier.

6.4. Weather condition

Specified conditions in regard of environmental conditions resp, painting object are complied with. Thereby
are to be observed air temperature, humidity as well as temperature and moisture on the painting object. To
prevent moisture condensation during application, surface temperature must be at least 3°C above the dew
point.
If weather conditions are deviating from specified values the painting, must take measure to ensure continuation
of work. During hot weather special care must be observed to obtain the specified dry film thickness.
When adversed weather conditions arise (rain, fog, snow) paint work must be stopped. If unavoidable that
already painted objects are exposed to sudden break of weather, low temperatures, extrema high humidity,
rain or snow, the attached coat must be checked when dried. Damage coats have to be repaired.
Coats have to be applied uniformly. At no place the coating film shall be less than the specified thickness.
The cleaned surfaces shall be coated before any visible rust forms.
The application of the coating shall be performed only when the environmental conditions are as follows:-
• Substrate Temperature at least 5°F above Dew Point
• Substrate Temperature to be maintained between 50°F and 110°F.
• Overcoats/Topcoats shall be applied within Manufacturers minimum and maximum recoat times.
• Coating shall be applied with clean brushes, approved rollers or approved spraying equipment.
• The finish coat color for piping shall be as client requirements.

7. HANDLING OF COATED ITEMS

Coated items shall be stored on non-abrasive supports and shall be protected from damage during lifting
and handling.

8. INSPECTION AND TESTING

8.1. Surface Preparation Inspection

The Temperature, Dew Point and Relative Humidity shall be determined at the start of the work and every 4
hours, with a sling psychrometric or (equivalent).
Blast cleaned surfaces anchor pattern profile shall be verified in accordance with ASTM D 4417.

8.2. Painting Inspection

Surface Temperature and Humidity readings shall be taken prior to the application of each coat to verify that
the conditions are within the Manufacturers recommendations.

The Dry Film thickness shall be tested with a suitable gauge (Micro test).
The coating shall be inspected for defects (overspray, runs, mudcracking etc), all defects shall be repaired in
accordance with SSPC PA2.

9. REMEDIAL WORK
