Surfaces, in direct bonded contact with the concrete or made of asbestos, aluminium, brass,
bronze, galvanized steel, stainless steel, cast iron and other corrosion resistant alloys and
rubber / synthetic polymers / fibber reinforced plastics and buried pipe work (separate
protection not covered in this specification) are not required to be painted unless specified
otherwise, except for aesthetic purpose or for identification bands
Painting and surface preparation shall be applied to protect outside surface of all carbon steel
(C.S.) which are subject to atmospheric action and exposed to environment, irrespective of
mention in the other General and Technical Specifications.
Painting shall provide a continuous adherent film of adequate thickness on the surface being
treated and protect it from attack due to continuous exposure in industrial atmosphere
prevailing at the site and exposure in other corrosive environments.
BASIC ENGINEERING
DOCUMENT No.:
8612-00-KK-P-GN-014-001-B02
The work shall include, but not limited to, supply of all paint materials as per specification
described herein and of approved quality, skilled labour and supervision in order to provide a
complete paint system for individual items as broadly enlisted later in this specification. The
complete system for any items includes:
a) Proper surface preparation of steel substrate
b) Application of primer coats
c) Application of intermediate coats
d) Application of finish coats of quality paint products of approved make as stipulated
in this specification.
If Bidders desires to adopt alternative paint system for any specific item for an improvement
or equivalent to the system specified herein, he may do so subject to Client approval.
This specification shall be read along with the following annexure enclosed with the
specification:
Annexure 2: Surface preparation standards
Annexure 1: Painting schemes
The colour code (RAL)to be followed shall be intimated to the successful Bidder later on
1.2. Standards
1.2.1. Painting and surface protection shall be carried out and tested as per the standards laid
down in this specification. Detailed instructions on such aspects as are not indicated
herein shall be as per the codes and practices indicated in the latest specifications of
SSPC or DIN or as per the National Standards Institution of the country of origin or
the codes of practices recommended by the paint manufacturers of the country of
origin.
1.2.2. For wood surfaces, the paint applications shall be as per paint manufacturer’s
recommendation.
1.3. Surface Preparation

1.3.1. Surface preparation being a pre – requisite for any paint application, shall be such as to
clean the surface thoroughly of any materials which will be conducive to premature
failure of the paint.
1.3.2. All surfaces shall be cleaned of loose substances and foreign materials, such as dirt,
rust, scale, oil, grease, welding flux, etc. irrespective of whether the same has been
BASIC ENGINEERING
DOCUMENT No.:
8612-00-KK-P-GN-014-001-B02
spelt out in the standards in order that the primer coat is rigidly anchored to the virgin
metal surface. The surface cleaning shall conform to pictorial representation of surface
quality grade of Swedish Standards Institution SIS 05 5900 or equivalent standards
such as SSPC – VIS – 1.67 or DIN 55928 (Part 4) or BS 4232.
In this specification, relative equivalent standards of surface preparation quality grade to be
adopted in respect of SIS 055900 are presented in Annexure –2 for ready reference. Any oil,
grease, dust or foreign matter deposited on the surface after preparation shall be removed and
care taken that the surface is not contaminated with acids, alkalis, moisture or other corrosive
chemicals. The prime coat shall be applied as soon as possible after the surface preparation is
completed.
1.3.3. The acceptable surface preparation quality / grade are described under each paint
system. The procedures covered are solvent cleaning, hand tool cleaning, power tool
cleaning, flame cleaning, blast cleaning, pickling or combination there of in order to
attain desired surface quality as required by the specific primer paint. These are briefly
described below:
a) Solvent Cleaning
The surface is cleaned by wiping, immersion, spraying or vapour contacting of a suitable
solvent or washing with an emulsion or alkaline solution or chemical paint stripper. The
method effectively removes oil, grease, dirt, soil, drawing compounds, oil paint and other
similar foreign matters but does not remove rust, scales, and mill – scales or weld flux. Also
hydrocarbon solvents do not remove corrosive salts such as chloride and sulphate. Therefore,
before application of paint, solvent cleaning is commonly to be followed by other cleaning
procedures.
b) Hand Tool Cleaning
The surface is cleaned by vigorous wire brushing done manually to St-2 quality. Chipping and
scraping is usually carried out before wire brushing; oil and grease are removed by solvent
cleaning before hand tool cleaning. On welded work, before wire brushing particular care
should be taken to remove by blast cleaning, washing with water, phosphate rinsing or power
tool cleaning as much welding flux, slag and fume deposit as is possible. This method
effectively removes loosely adherent materials but would not affect residues of rust or mill –
scales that are intact and firmly adherent.
c) Power Tool Cleaning
BASIC ENGINEERING
DOCUMENT No.:
8612-00-KK-P-GN-014-001-B02
The surface is cleaned by electric or pneumatic tools, such as brushes, sand machines, sand
discs, abrasive grinders, chipping, hammers, scales, needle guns and rotary de-scalars to St-3
quality. Oil and grease are first removed by solvent cleaning and heavy rust scale removed
prior to use of power tools. The tools are used carefully to prevent excessive roughening of
surface and formation of ridges and burrs; also, care is taken to avoid mill scale being
burnished to a smooth, slick surface. This method will remove loosely adherent material but
would not affect residues of rust, or mill- scales that are intact and firmly adherent.
d) Flame Cleaning
The surface is cleaned by rapid heating up by means of oxy – acetylene flame to loosen the
adherent scales, followed immediately by wire brushing. Oil and grease are first removed by
solvent cleaning and all accessible welding flux and spatters removed before application of
flame. The surface is also cleaned of all unbound mill – scale and dehydrated by the spreading
of oxy – acetylene flame adjusted to have neutral characteristics. This method will remove
loosely adherent materials as well as most of the adherent scales and mill – scales. In order to
minimize or prevent distortion, flame cleaning shall not be used on members having thickness
of 6mm or lower.
e) Blast Cleaning
The surface is cleaned by impingement of abrasive materials, such as graded sand or grit of
cast iron, malleable iron, steel or synthetic material at high velocity created by clean and dry
compressed air blast. Prior to application of the blast, heavy deposits of oil and grease are
removed by solvent cleaning and excessive surface scale removed by hand tool or power tool
cleaning. This method will remove loosely adherent materials as well as adherent scales and
mill -scales. The extent of removal of adherent scales, depending on the application, is varied
and defined by the surface quality grades Sa 1, Sa 2, Sa 2.5 and Sa 3 in the order of increasing
cleanliness. Blast cleaning is not recommended for sheet metal works.
f) Pickling
In this method the surface is cleaned of mill-scales, rust and rust scales by chemical reaction
or electrolysis or both. Normally, the pickling is done in a bath of dilute sulphuric,
hydrochloric or phosphoric acid, as appropriate for the specific work with or without heating,
followed by thorough rinsing with fresh water to remove the acid traces. Pickling in sulphuric
BASIC ENGINEERING
DOCUMENT No.:
8612-00-KK-P-GN-014-001-B02
acid may be followed by dipping in phosphoric acid containing iron phosphate. Prior to
pickling heavy deposits of oil, grease, soil, drawing compounds and foreign matters other than
rust, scales or oxides are removed by solvent cleaning. Pickling is applicable for those
surfaces which are of light gauge or require passivation like stainless steel surfaces, pipes,
ducts, etc.
1.3.4. Wood Surface Preparation

All new wood work surfaces shall be dried, cleaned and rubbed down with sand paper
followed by removal of all dusts. Resinous knots, resin patches, voids, cracks are to be sealed
properly with mix of wood dusts and ‘Feyicol’ or any suitable sealer. Allow the sealers to dry
after application for a period of at least 16 hours or so. Rub down smooth by abrasive paper
followed by fine talc / soapstone powder coating before making the wood surface ready for
priming.
1.4. Paint Materials

1.4.1. The paint system specified herein and listed in Annexure –1 for different exposure
conditions shall be the minimum acceptable quality of surface protection against the
respective environment, provided the paint materials are manufactured from quality
products under stringent quality control. For any proprietary paint formulation, the
performance of which has been tested in actual site conditions or under simulated
conditions in test laboratory, the manufacturer’s recommendations in all respects shall
be adhered to.
1.4.2. .The vehicle or the resin medium of the specified paint system for the respective paint
product shall be chosen from the following and a compatible combination there of as
specified in Annexure –1 in order to provide a long lasting anti – corrosive protection
of the surfaces.
