1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document gives requirements and recommendations for the surface preparation, coating
and colour schedule to be applied to both new and maintenance work which will be exposed to
atmospheric conditions (irrespective of whether it will be insulated).
An AMEC Materials Engineer should be consulted if further information is required.
This document identifies a range of coating systems that combine improved technology to give
enhanced performance/ longer life, and in many cases reduced number of coats, therefore
reducing the overall total coating times.
Application of coatings is a task with inherent safety implications and requires adherence to
certain prescriptive methods of working. This specification defines safe operating practice for
such activities. It also specifies coating systems that will minimise impact on health and safety
of operatives. Specifically isocyanate and lead chromate-based systems are excluded.
Prior to carrying out a coating operation it is necessary for the coating sub-contractor to submit
a full procedure for review and approval by an AMEC Materials Engineer.

factors shall be provided for all products used, prior to start of the work, and shall be available
on site at the job location.
The sheets shall give specific information on the chemical composition of the materials
involved and precautions that must be taken.
5.6 Flammable Atmospheres (Area Classification)
The Client will advise area classifications for both plant design and construction/ maintenance
periods. Some classification may preclude use of certain paint compositions.
The classification for construction or maintenance periods will affect the minimum rating
permissible for the Contractor's electrical equipment.
The Contractor shall provide all necessary data for the proposed paint systems and solvents in
order to permit area classifications to be determined for the duration of the painting works.
5.7 Precautions in Cleaning and Application of Paints

Protective Coating
6.0 PREPARATION FOR COATING
Prior to commencing any coating application surfaces shall be free of irregularities, millscale
and rust and surface contaminants.
6.1 Surface Irregularities
Surface irregularities shall be removed/ made smooth prior to surface preparation.
Irregularities include: -
Sharp or rough edges and burrs;
Surface laminations and laps;
Weld spatter, and slag.
Such irregularities, which appear after surface preparation by blast cleaning, shall be similarly
treated. If grinding is necessary it shall be subject to AMEC approval and checking of
remaining wall thickness.
6.2 Surface Contaminants
Steel that has been exposed to a salt laden atmosphere shall be tested for the presence of
salts using the potassium ferricyanide test in accordance with BS 5493 Appendix G. Salts
shall be removed by washing.
Cleaning to remove oil and grease shall be carried out using proprietary emulsifying agents
and then washing with clean water. The surface shall be allowed to dry before proceeding
with further preparation and painting.
6.3 Blast Cleaning
Open dry grit blasting is required in general for new construction.
Open dry grit blasting is not acceptable to Maintenance Operations as it produces large
amounts of dust and grit, which contaminate a large area surrounding the location where grit
blasting is being used. This can be controlled by use of the Vacublast system.
Although, power tool cleaning may be more suitable in certain areas, it produces a poorly
prepared surface, hence the coating applied over it can be expected to fail in 18 months to 3
years.
The surface preparation method to be used for maintenance coating is precision wet abrasive
blasting. The advantages of wet abrasive blasting are as follows:
Removes most surface contaminates including millscale and profiles the steel surface;
Other trades can work safely in close proximity;
Virtually dust free;
Environmentally friendly;
Intrinsically safe and can be used in Zone 1 and 2 locations;
Extended coating life expectancy.
Disadvantages of wet abrasive blasting are as follows:
Grit and water are used, though low quantities of each;
Grit has to be removed from site to avoid blocking open drains;
Sheeting and light enclosures are necessary to prevent slight grit spread;
Confined spaces and overhead working are difficult due to splash-back effect and poor
operation visibility.
Protective Coating
7.0 SELECTION OF COATING MATERIAL SUPPLIER

In the event that any single adhesion measurement during production drops to a minimum of 9.0 MPa, a further
3 readings shall be taken to achieve an overall average of 10.0 MPa. Each sample plate will be subjected to
adhesion testing as specified in EN ISO 4624. Prior to the commencement of the contract all operatives
engaged in the application of thermal metal materials must produce sample plates for each coating system.
The thickness of the metal spray applied to a non-ferrous substrate is to be determined by using an, Elcometer
345 electronic gauge (or equivalent) fitted with a non-ferrous probe.
A sample plate is to be produced by each operative at the commencement of each working shift, this is to be
used as a comparison sample for production work completed on that shift.
All sample plates are to have the metal spray thickness recorded using an Elcometer gauge (or equivalent). The
thickness recorded together with the operatives name /number is to be attached to the sample plate.
Metal spray readings are to be taken after the application of the first coat. Any low thickness areas highlighted
to the operative prior to the application of the second coat. These results are to be recorded. The thickness
reading process is to be repeated after the application of the second coat of metal spray and recorded.
Sharp edges and welds shall be rounded or smoothed by grinding (min. R = 2mm).
Where TSA is used no further coating is required to achieve specific colours.

12.0 COLOUR SCHEDULE
12.1 General
Unless stated otherwise, British Standard colours referred to are to BS 4800-1989.
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.
Working pressures and 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.
12.2 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 manufacturers 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 if required with BS 1710:1984 and
amendment No 1-1989.
12.3 Piping System Colour Schedule
Piping shall be painted white in accordance with BS4800 00E55. For corrosion resistant alloys where protective
coating is not required, and for thermally sprayed aluminium surfaces, the material shall be left self-coloured.
All piping shall be identified by service using colour bands in accordance with table 1. 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, 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.
