4. REQUIREMENTS: (REFER TO CORE PPI EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING)
4.3.5 IN-PROCESS INSPECTIONS: Inspections are to be completed in critical coated areas listed in NSTM
631, Section 11. The Responsible Government Representative certified coating inspector shall be given
prior notice and shall perform an inspection of each coated area when the following checkpoints are
reached: inspection, repair or replacement of anode & dielectric shield, pre-surface preparation, surface
preparation, material / paint storage area, mixing, prime coat, between successive coat of paints,
topcoat of paint applied and area ready for final inspection. The Responsible Government
Representative is also required to examine all data maintained by the paint foremen concerning
environmental conditions, surface cleanliness, surface profile, and paint thickness. Data shall be
verified, depending on the checkpoint in question, including surface cleanliness, surface profile, dry film
thickness and workmanship. Environmental data, such as temperatures, relative humidity and dew point
need only be verified if the inspector is doubtful of the recorded values. Deficiencies in personnel
training, certification, record maintenance, equipment maintenance or any matter that is not IAW good
painting practice shall be recorded. The coating inspector shall verify the successful completion of each
checkpoint and sign and date the applicable spaces on Appendix 5.
4.4 RECORD KEEPING:
4.4.1 RECORD KEEPING DURING SURFACE PREPARATION / PAINT APPLICATION: A permanent record
of environmental conditions, surface preparation and paint application operations shall be maintained.
Data shall be entered on Appendices 1 - 5. The record shall include dates and times of surface
preparations and painting operations, air temperatures, surface temperature, relative humidity, and dew
point. Enter on Appendix 3 the abrasive blast media QPL, manufacturer, type and size of abrasive used
(when used), along with the TESTEX PRESS-O-FILM tapes used to measure surface profile. All
appendices and data logger information shall be provided to the Contracting Regional Maintenance
Center upon completion of the coating system installation. This information shall be retained for 3 years.
4.8 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION READINGS: Environmental information on Appendix 1 from the core
PPI shall be manually measured and recorded every 4 hours. Environmental readings shall be posted
at the job site at all times, and an updated copy provided to the coating inspector and the Responsible
Government Representative at each checkpoint for review. At each 4-hour recording period the readings
shall be reviewed to determine if the environmental conditions are suitable for continued coating system
installation. Additionally, a data logger shall be used to continuously monitor environmental conditions
(air temperature, % relative humidity, and dew point) from 12 hours prior to, 48 hours after the
application of a coat of paint IAW Ref. 2.c and NSTM 631, Sections 6, 7, and 8.
4.9 TEMPERATURES TO BE MAINTAINED FOR PAINT COATING SYSTEMS Immediately prior to
application of each layer of the coating system substrate surface temperature shall be taken. Readings
shall be taken in five randomly chosen locations on the layer within the space and the highest and
lowest surface temperatures measured recorded in Appendix 1 from the core PPI. Additionally,
readings shall be taken in five randomly chosen locations on the layer within the space and the highest
and lowest surface temperatures measured recorded prior to resuming application of a layer of the
coating system when there has been a temporary work interruption. Application of the next layer of the
coating system shall not commence (or recommence after a temporary work interruption) until all
recorded surface temperature readings are within the required range as specified in Ref. 2.c and NSTM
631, Section 6.3. If any reading is outside of the required range, the contractor must take additional
action to control the temperature in the space and return the surface temperature readings to within the
required range. Additional readings shall be taken a minimum of hourly until the readings are returned
to within the required range. If inconsistencies between the acceptable ambient and surface
temperature ranges in Ref. 2.c and NSTM 631, Section 6.3 exist, the more stringent requirements shall
be followed. If required ambient and surface temperatures are not provided or are unclear, contact
responsible contracting authority for resolution.
5. PRE-SURFACE PREPARATION: (REFER TO CORE PPI EXCEPT FOR THE FOLLOWING)
NOTE: WHEN PREVIOUS FRESH WATER WASH-DOWN HAS NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED, COMPLETE
STEP 5.3.
5.3 DEGREASE / FRESH WATER WASH DOWN: Prior to surface preparation by abrasive blasting and
within 1 hour of ship on blocks, start the removal of all surface contaminants such as sea salts, grease
and oil (hydrocarbons), loose rust; mud and marine growth with 3,000-PSI minimum at the nozzle fresh
water wash down. If events prevent the start of the wash down within 1 hour of ship on blocks, ensure
hull is kept wet until the wash down can be accomplished to prevent the marine growth from hardening.
The wash down shall be followed by an adequate period of time to allow the surface to dry prior to
surface preparation. SSPC-SP-1 requirements shall be met.
5.4.1 (Visual and Ultraviolet (UV) Light or Water-Break Test): Conduct a visual inspection to verify all surfaces
within the scope of the project are free of hydrocarbons, and other contaminants such as sea salts, loose
rust, mud, and marine growth, which could become imbedded in the surface to be prepared. Inspect
surface using a UV light (approx. 60 Å) to detect hydrocarbons on the surface. The ultraviolet light will not
allow the proper detection of hydrocarbons on the surface if the surface being inspected is exposed to day
or artificial light. Therefore for proper UV light hydrocarbon detection, lights must be off for interior spaces,
and the inspection must be conducted during darkness for surfaces exposed to sunlight. Take appropriate
safety measures to prevent worker hazards in the darkened space. The Water-Break Test of Ref. 2.i may
be used in lieu of Ultraviolet Light and must be used in mercury exclusion areas. When performing the
Water-Break test on the non-dielectric shield areas, spray a mist of atomized distilled water on every 1 ft² of
surface area for every 200 ft² of surface area to be tested. When performing the Water-Break test on the
dielectric shield areas, spray a mist of atomized distilled water on a minimum of 5 areas within the dielectric
shield area.
5.4.2 (Structural): Verify all surfaces within the scope of the project are IAW paragraph 5.1.
6. DIELECTRIC SHIELD/ANODE REQUIREMENTS:
6.1 DRY FILM THICKNESS MEASUREMENTS: Accomplish IAW Ref 2.b, record measurements in Appendix 4.
6.2 RE-COAT PERIODS: Applicator will not exceed manufacturer’s maximum re-coat periods IAW Ref. 2.c.
6.3 CURE OF DIELECTRIC SHIELD: The Capastic material should cure in about 6 hours. A minimum
temperature of 50° F shall be maintained for proper curing. In cool weather, warming it prior to mixing
can accelerate curing of the material. Heat the cans for one hour in a water bath at 70°-80° F, or store in
a warm area until ready to use. Curing can also be accelerated by applying heat to the hull. This can be
done by heat lamps, electric radiant heaters, or by other means that will not burn the Capastic.
NOTE: HEATERS SHALL NOT UTILIZE FORCED AIR SO AS TO PRECLUDE BLOWING OIL OR GREASE
ONTO THE SUBSTRATE.
6.3.1 The anode shall not be energized until the vessel is waterborne and the Capastic has cured for a period
of at least 7 days from completion of dielectric shield and paint coating system application.
6.4 CHECKPOINT (Capastic Storage): Accomplish a visual inspection of Capastic storage facilities 24 hours
prior to material being mixed to verify that the storage temperature complies within the minimum and
maximum range allowed IAW Ref. 2.c. The material storage temperature shall be monitored and
recorded once per shift for 24 hours prior to the material being used. Record measured temperatures in
Appendix 1.
6.5 Per paragraph 4.8, continuously monitor environmental conditions (air temperature, % relative humidity,
and dew point) beginning 12 hours prior to coating installation and throughout coating installation until
48 hours after final coat installation to ensure they meet requirements as specified in paragraphs 4.8
and 4.9. A set of environmental data shall be taken a minimum of every 5 minutes. A data logger shall
be used to monitor and record environmental data. The information the data logger contains shall be
able to be printed out or downloaded. Use Coating-System Environment Recorder made by Veriteq
Instruments, Inc., model no. KT-2000-NEI, (Veriteq web information: www.veriteq.com/navy) or
equivalent NAVSEA approved data logger to obtain and record measurements. Manually obtained
readings shall also be taken and recorded a minimum of every 4 hours per paragraph 4.8.
6.6 MIXING: Mix all Capastic material thoroughly in their individual container to disperse pigments and assure
homogeneity. Combine and thoroughly mix epoxy components prior to use IAW Ref. 2.c.
6.6.1 CHECKPOINT (Mixing): Accomplish a visual inspection of Capastic material to verify proper mixing.
6.6.1.1 (Shelf Life): Verify shelf life of material has not expired. Record expiration date in Appendix 7.
