25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 4 of 46

4. Surface Preparation
4.1 Metals
4.1.1 Weld spatter shall be removed and sharp or rough welds rounded and
contoured. Sharp edges shall be rounded, chamfered or broken.
4.1.2 Surfaces to be coated shall be free of all grease, oil, loose rust, and loose mill-
scale. Oil and grease shall be removed by solvent cleaning method as outlined
in SSPC - SP - 1.
4.1.3 a) Rust, mill scale, weld spatter, flux, shall be removed by the methods
indicated in the Coating Schedule.
b) The surface profile depth indicated under Appendix 'A' shall be achieved
by using a medium that has good angularity of form, sharp cutting edges
and is substantially free from "half rounds".
c) Chilled iron grit shall be the preferred medium for abrasive blast
cleaning
d) If sand is used as the blasting medium it shall be delivered to site in

sealed bags. Each load shall be identified with a batch number and each
batch shall be tested for chloride content (maximum allowable chloride
level 0.03%) and pH value (the value should be nearly neutral i.e., pH 6
to pH 8). The tests shall be carried by owner, or by supplier with third
party test certificate. The third party shall be an approved agent approved
by owner.
4.1.4 a) Profile measurements for abrasive blast cleaned surface shall be made
with a Keane Tator Profile comparator, Clemtec anchor profile chips,
Testex Press-O-Film or other contractor accepted method suitable for the
abrasive being used.
b) Prior to any coating application the substrate shall be checked for soluble
salt contamination using a suitable salt contamination meter.
The maximum allowable level of contamination shall be 5µgm/cm2.

Surfaces that do not meet this criteria shall be reprocessed.
Should this problem occur on a frequent basis the abrasive medium shall
be re-examined for quality and if necessary changed.
c) Surfaces prepared for coating shall be coated the same day and before
any visible rusting occurs (the time elapsed between blast cleaning and
commencement of painting shall under no circumstances exceed 4 hours,
but in any case must commence before signs of degradation occur).
25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 5 of 46

4.2 Repair of Damaged Coated Surfaces
4.2.1 Touch-up and repair of damaged primer (scratched, rusted, peeled, blistered,
etc.) shall be repaired by the Sub-contractor. Surface preparation and DFT of
the primer shall be in accordance with the requirements for the specified
coating system.
4.2.2 Prior to touch-up painting of damaged areas, or field coating to welded joints,
a Method Statement/Painting Procedure detailing surface preparation, coatings
to be used and their application and inspection criteria shall be submitted for
approval by Bechtel. No touch-up, repair work or coating to field welded
joints shall be executed until such a procedure is in place
4.3 Repair of Damaged Galvanised Surfaces
4.3.1 Damaged areas of galvanised structures shall be feathered back to sound

coating and cleaned as per SSPC-SP3. The area shall be coated with a high
zinc dust content galvanising repair coating such as “META FLUX” or
approved equal
5. Coating Preparation and Application

5.1 Coatings and primers shall be delivered to the jobsite in the original containers
bearing the manufacturer's name, product designation, batch number. shelf life
and date of manufacture. Before application, they shall be stirred or agitated
until the ingredients are completely mixed. Material which have exceeded the
manufacturer's recommended shelf life shall not be used. Materials shall not
be used or mixed into a new batch after its recommended pot life has been
exceeded. Material shall be used on a first-in, first-out basis.
5.2 Field application shall be by brush, roller or spray gun. Local regulations
regarding spray and roller coating shall be observed. A smooth uniform film
shall be applied to the surfaces to be coated.
5.3 The temperature of the substrate must be a minimum of 3°C above the dew point
during abrasive blast cleaning and coating. The substrate temperature shall be
a minimum of 5°C and a maximum of 60°C during coating application.
5.4 Coating shall be applied in strict accordance with the coating manufacturer's latest
published instructions. In particular, the manufacturer's recommended curing
or drying time shall be allowed between coats of primer and finish. Thickness
of the coating shall be in accordance with the Coating Schedule or the
manufacturer's latest published instructions. In the event of conflict,
differences shall be brought to the attention of the Bechtel’s coating specialist
for resolution.
5.5 Paints, catalysts and thinners shall be stored in well ventilated buildings free from
excessive heat, sparks, flames and direct sunlight. Paints stored for short times
on the jobsite shall be protected from direct sunlight during the summer
months.
25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 6 of 46

5.6 Containers of paint, catalysts and thinners shall not be opened prior to use except
for spot inspection. They shall be tightly resealed after inspection.
5.7 For Field joint coating where blast cleaning is not possible, minimum ST3 surface
preparation to be achieved. The field paint shall be compatible to ST3 surface
finish as well as to existing paint at the adjoining area.
5.8 The life time of any protective system is determined by the dry film thickness of
the paint system present on weld seams and sharp edges. Special attention
should be given to sharp edges to ensure that they are covered with an
adequate coating thickness.
5.9 Two component (base and hardener) coatings like Air drying epoxy, Polyurethane
coatings etc shall be mixed in the ratio recommended by manufacturer to
ensure proper and complete curing of the coatings. Improper ratio leads to
problems like soft / non-dried film, poor performance, etc. The base and
hardener are to be separately mixed first to obtain a homogenous mixture. The
hardener is to be added to the base slowly, with continuous mixing / agitation
and not the reverse. Power agitation is preferred over hand mixing.
5.10 Any addition of thinner to achieve the application viscosity should be made
only after the components are thoroughly mixed. Avoid using excess thinner
than the recommended volumes, since this will lead to lower DFT build up,
sagging, longer curing time, etc.
5.11 Painting should not be undertaken during fog or mist conditions or when rain
or snow is imminent, when the surface to be painted is wet with condensation
or when condensation can occur during the initial drying period of the paint.
5.12 The volume solids figure given in the product data sheets of paints is the
percentage of the film obtained from a given wet film thickness under
specified application and conditions. The theoretical coverage can be
determined from the formula below:
Theoretical coverage (m2 / Litr) = Volume solids (%) x 10 / Measured dft (in microns)
5.13 Pump pressure and correct tip sizes will be used to produce the most desirable
spray size pattern and thickness on airless spray equipment.
5.14 When using conventional spray equipment, the operator will ensure that the
gun parts and outlets are maintained in a clean and working order to ensure the
best of cosmetic appearance upon application.
5.15 Coating containing heavy or metallic pigments that have a tendency to settle
shall be kept in suspension by continuous use of a mechanical agitator whilst
being applied, to ensure uniformity over the surface area (e.g., zinc MIO’s
pigmented materials).
5.16 All edges, corners, webs and inaccessible areas, shall be stripe coated prior to
full application. To ensure integrity of WFT/DFT over surface areas.
25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 7 of 46

6. Inspection
6.1 Inspection will be performed by an inspector authorised by Bechtel’s Field
Superintendent.
6.2 Prime coats shall be inspected and cleaned when required by Bechtel’s Inspector,
before applying finish coats.
6.3 Dry film thickness shall be measured after each coat by Bechtel’s Inspector using
a Mikrotest, Elcometer, or Contractor (Bechtel) accepted equal, Thickness
Instrument.
6.4 Dry thickness measurements shall be made in accordance with SSPC-PA 2.

Measurements of Dry Paint Thickness with Magnetic Gauges.
6.5 The Coating Subcontractor's Superintendent shall have in his possession at all
times a wet film thickness gauge for continuous check of the wet film as
applied.
6.6 Defective work shall be corrected by the Coating Subcontractor at his sole
expense.
6.7 When more than one prime coat or finish coat is specified. use a contrasting
colour in the first coat to distinguish between the first and second coats.
6.8 The average value of thickness readings taken over any square meter of a
scheduled area should be equal or exceed the nominal thickness specified and
in no case should any reading be less than 75% of the nominal thickness.
6.9 Areas where coating thickness are either thin or too thick are to be marked and the
Paint contractor shall carry-out repair at such areas. The surface areas shall be
inspected to find holidays, runs, sags etc. Holidays, if detected shall be coated
before full drying taking place. Runs and sags will be brushed out.
6.10 Determination of the thickness of each coat in a multi-coat system should be

an inspection hold-point. When using magnetic gages to measure multi-coat
systems, the average of the first coat must be determined prior to application
of second coat. Readings taken after the second coat is applied will obviously
be the total thickness of the two coats combined, and the specific thickness of
the second coat can only be determined by subtracting the average thickness
obtained from the first coat reading.
6.11 Holiday or spark testing shall be done for immersion service to find nicks,
scrapes, and pin holes in the coating film. Holiday testing shall be done after
application of the last coat of paint.
6.12 After all the coats of paint have been applied, the inspector should verify that
the appropriate clean-up is done, and that any abrasions, nicks, or scrapes are
repaired as required. If the coating is within the specification the item will be
offered to the client or representative inspector where required.
25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 8 of 46

6.13 Occasionally, there is a need to test the adhesion of the coatings after
application. “Measuring adhesion by Tape Test” as described in ASTM D –
3359 shall be used for adhesion test.
6.14 Surface preparation and coating shall be documented using the Format No. 1
(Surface preparation and Coatings Inspection Form).
7. Coating System
Coating systems are listed in Appendix. 'A'. Only those products listed shall be used
unless alternate products are approved in writing by Contractor (Bechtel).
8. Coating Schedule
Surface preparation, priming and finish coating for all vendor supplied equipment,
vessels, exchangers, pumps, instrument panels etc. shall be in accordance with
Appendix 'C' as a minimum.
8.1 The paint system shall be applicable to carbon steel and low alloy (9% chrome
or less)

9.1 Identification colour bands to be provided for Uninsulated and Insulated

Process and Utility Piping.
9.2 Aluminium colour (ground colour as mentioned in Appendix B) shall be “Non

Leafing” grade
a) In order to identify the contents of pipelines. colour code painting is required

to be carried out. The system of colour coding consists of ground colour
together with colour bands. The ground colour can be applied either on the
entire length of the pipe (mostly in ISBL portions) or over a small length,
minimum of 300 mm, and very distinct from primary and secondary colour
bands as shown in Appendix - D. The colour coding shall be as given in
Appendix-B and refer Appendix-D for primary and secondary bands.

Appendix C
Procedure Outline
1. General
1.1 This procedure addresses the basic minimum requirements for the surface
preparation and painting of carbon steel substrates in accordance with
specification 25194-3PS-GAW-005.
1.2 The individual paint systems are identified in 25194-3PS-GAW-005 Appendix

'B' painting schedule
1.3 It is a mandatory requirement that all operatives working to this procedure

take full cognisance of and implement necessary safety precautions
2. Pre-Blast Inspection Procedures
2.1 Prior to blasting, the substrate shall be examined for signs of contamination. If
oil and grease contamination is found to be present, the surface shall be
washed with 2% emulsifying liquid by volume of water, giving special
attention to weld areas, bolt holes, mouse holes, to remove galvanic salts and
alkali deposits from welding flux.
2.2 Following on from 2.1 the whole area shall be high pressure water washed and
if necessary scrubbed with a hard brush.
2.3 Prior to blast cleaning the substrate shall be dry and at least 3°C above the dew
point temperature.
2.4 Blasting abrasive shall conform to the requirements of 3PS-GAW-005

paragraph 4.1.3 and shall result in an anchor profile as specified in Appendix
‘A', when measured in accordance with 3PS-GAW -005 paragraph 4.1.4.
2.5 Visual inspection shall be carried out to detect any sharp edges, weld spatter or
visible laminations. Where these are discovered they shall be ground smooth
prior to water washing.
2.6 Inspection of the blast equipment i.e. hogger lines, bull lines, blast nozzles,
helmet and lines, deadman handles, air reservoirs etc., will be carried out by
the operators supervisor to ensure sound working conditions with no danger to
life.
3. Surface Preparation Inspection Procedures
3.1 Immediately after blasting and cleaning, the blast quality shall be checked and
offered to the Contractors representative for inspection if required.
3.2 Blast profiles shall be rendered dust free from the surface by suitable means
such as vacuum cleaner, dry air or soft brushes.
25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 30 of 46

3.3 The blast cleaned surface shall be checked for signs of salt contamination
using an SCM 400 meter. The maximum allowable level of contamination
shall be 5µgm/cm2 Surfaces that do not meet this criteria shall be reprocessed.
3.4 The time elapsed between blast cleaning and commencement of painting shall
under no circumstances exceed 4 hours, but in any case must commence
before signs of degradation occur.
4. Paint Storage, Mixing and Application
4.1 Paint will be supplied from the paint store on a first in first out basis. Containers
if stored for more than one month will be tumbled.
4.2 Batch numbers will be taken and date of manufacture rechecked, together with
type of paint.
4.3 Paint will be checked when opened and also before mixing. Paint inspector or
Bechtel's representative will oversee the operation to ensure the adherence to
paint manufacturers instructions. Only thinners of the type and quality
specified shall be used. Care must be taken to mix two pack materials
components according to manufacturers recommendations
4.4 Pump pressures and correct tip sizes will be used to produce the most desirable
spray size pattern and thickness on airless spray equipment.
4.5 When using conventional spray equipment, the operator will ensure that the gun
parts and outlets are maintained in a clean and working order, to ensure the
best of cosmetic appearance upon application.
4.6 When mixing and spraying conventionally sprayed paints, straining of the
material is essential to avoid any gun blockage. Pressure pots are to be kept
contamination free.
4.7 Coating containing heavy or metallic pigments that have a tendency to settle shall
be kept in suspension by continuous use of a mechanical agitator whilst being
applied, to ensure uniformity over the surface area, (eg. zinc MIO's pigmented
materials).
4.8 Dwelling time of two-pack components, once mixed, shall be no more than 30
minutes to enable the material to settle, and air bubbles to escape.
4.9 Manufacturers data sheets shall be checked for two-pack products pot-life and
materials past this criteria will not be used.
4.10 During application and whilst in a set state, the surface areas shall be inspected
to find holidays, runs, sags etc. Holidays will be coated in at this stage if
detected prior to full drying taking place. Care must be taken to ensure contact
areas, if any, are included in this criteria. Runs and sags will be brushed out.
25194-3PS-GAW-005 Rev 56 Page 31 of 46

4.11 Once dry, visual inspection will be carried out to establish any faults present.
DFT’s will be taken and recorded. If the coating is within the specification the
item will be offered to the Contractor (Bechtel) or representative inspector
where required.
Any faults found will be rectified prior to application of the successive coatings.
4.12 Prior to overcoating, any previously applied coating, the DTF shall be taken
and the surface shall be inspected for pinholes. runs, sags etc. If any defects
are found and remedial action necessary, an NCR form will be utilised on the
recommendation of the QA Manager.
4.13 All edges, corners, webs and inaccessible areas, shall be stripe coated prior to
full application, to ensure integrity of WFT/DFT over surface areas.
4.14 All coatings shall be permitted to dry in accordance with their manufacturers
recommendations prior to being overcoated. Attention will be given to drying
temperatures, etc.
5. Inspection Documentation
Surface preparation and coating inspection shall be documented using the “Surface
Preparation and Coatings Inspection Form”.
