2. FUNCTIONAL NORMATIVE REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Operative environment
This Specification defines provisions for the materials to be used, their
application criteria, the checks for maintenance painting of oil refining and
industrial plants, offshore platform fields and other typical Works of an oil
Company.
Paints to be used in this maintenance work can find their service environment
presenting attack both from chemical and microbiological agents.
2.2 Functional requirements
Maintenance operations shall neither impair nor prejudice plant capacity of
operation.
2.2.1 Materials and work force
2.2.1.1 One-source supply
The primer, the intermediate layers, and the finish coat applied in any
individual painting cycle shall be supplied by the same producer in order to
ensure compatibility.
2.2.1.2 Workforce
The workforce shall be qualified, this being prejudicial to the achievement of a
good and lasting protection from corrosion.
2.2.1.3 Recommendations by the paint supplier
All painting operations shall comply strictly with the paint supplier's
recommendations.
2.2.1.4 Paint performance
For best paint performance, each type of paint shall be used for the application
purpose for which it was formulated (e.g. anti-corrosion, waterproofing,
radiation reflecting, etc.), in strict compliance to the relevant technical data
sheets.

2.2.1.5 Temporary protection or masking of the items to be painted
Special care shall be taken in order to protect with suitable devices all those
items that could be damaged during maintenance operations (e.g.
instrumentation, machinery, lighting fixtures, air intakes, etc.)
2.2.2 Extent and type of maintenance activity
Extent and type of maintenance activities shall be established after qualified
personnel have performed field inspections and evaluated the actual situation of
the applied paint, and the type and feasibility of maintenance interventions.
It is stressed that "touch-up work" is always to be understood as a complete
maintenance cycle applied to a limited damaged surface area, also when
coating layers (finish, intermediate and finish, etc.) should be applied for any
reason to the entire surface.
The types of intervention:
- Touch up ( preservation activity )
- Touch up and overall finish coat ( preservation activity )
- Touch up, overall insulating coat and overall finish coat ( preservation
activity )
- Remake (substitution activity ).
shall be established for individual components or group of components also
keeping into account all the restrictions and problems mentioned.
The types of intervention and their estimated extent shall be used both in
preparing the tender technical documents and to point out the most significant
items that will be used for sampling tests.
Type and extent of work shall not be only dependent on rusting, but on other
parameters as well, such as lack of adhesion also without presence of rust,
"exhausted" paint, etc.
The colour of paint finish coats shall be identified and recorded in accordance
to RAL 840 Std. or equivalent ones, in order to reproduce the original colours
on the repaired surfaces.

2.2.3 Surface evaluation and measurement
Surface evaluation requires performing of inspections in order to evaluate
rusting and other damage present and the amount of work to be done.
Measurements of surfaces to be painted (excluding touch ups) shall be a matter
of agreement between the Contractor and the Company; the following criteria
shall be followed:
2.2.3.1 Piping
a) For piping having a nominal diameter not exceeding 1 1/2 in (38.1 mm), and
for cylindrical parts with an outside diameter not exceeding 2 in (50 mm),
the surface shall be calculated as having a circumference of 160 mm. The
surfaces of flanges, valves and fittings placed along these components shall
not be calculated as they are considered included in rounded up figures.
b) For piping having a nominal diameter over 1 1/2 in (38.1 mm), and not
exceeding 6 in (168.3 mm) the surface shall be calculated as having a
circumference of 530 mm. The surfaces of flanges, valves and fittings
placed along these components shall not be calculated as they are considered
included in rounded up figures.
c) The surface of valves and gates placed along piping of nominal diameter in
excess of 6 in (168.3 mm) shall be calculated as the area of the six faces of
the smallest parallelepiped that can contain the full piece.
d) For piping with outside diameter in excess of 6 in (168.3 mm) the actual
surface area shall be calculated.
2.2.3.2 Structures, Shapes, Plates, etc.
The actual surface area shall be considered.
a) Railings, ladders and breastplates shall be considered as having one single
surface inscribed in their overall dimensions (inclusive of empty spaces).
b) The surface of grids and gratings obtained from steel flat sections shall be
calculated as three times the area inscribed in their overall dimensions
(inclusive of empty spaces).
c) Chequered plates and metal netting surface shall be calculated as follows:
1) Up to a 20 mm mesh size: twice the area inscribed in their overall
dimensions (inclusive of empty spaces)

2) With mesh size between 20 and 40 mm: 1.5 times the area inscribed in
their overall dimensions (inclusive of empty spaces)
3) Over 50 mm mesh size: once the area incribed in their overall dimensions
(inclusive of empty spaces).
d) Doors and windows:
1) fully glass paneled: once the area inscribed in their overall dimensions
inclusive of fixed frame, glass surface included
2) fully blind paneled: twice the area inscribed in their overall dimensions
inclusive of fixed frame
2.2.3.3 Tanks and vessels, equipment and plate:
The actual surface shall be considered.
Motors, Pumps, machinery and special items (e.g. line valves that do not
require maintenance for operation, flanges, etc.):
The surface shall be calculated as the area of the six faces of the smallest
parallelepiped that can contain the full piece.
Surfaces requiring only touch up work shall be measured but shall only be
considered in a lump sum depending on surface conditions before maintenance,
touch up work, it being almost impossible to perform analytical measurements
of touch up work.
Once evaluation of conditions and measurements are completed, an agreement
shall be reached on the quantities of material needed.
The Company shall only pay for the surfaces requiring treatment and for the
required amount of paint agreed upon at this time.
2.2.4 Surface preparation
All surfaces to be treated shall undergo the following preparation sequence:
a) Washing with fresh water and detergents
b) Power tool peening, carried out in dangerous areas using spark free
equipment.

instrument.
2.7.4.3 Final Inspection
Once the paint coats application is completed, and the film is fully hardened,
the following checks shall be performed:

parts, their number to be agreed with the Company depending on the surface
and the homogeneousness of the component; the average value, obtained
discarding the highest and lowest value, shall not be less than the design
thickness value;
- destructive tests of resistance to stripping: after work completion a Vee cut
is made with a knife on the hardened coating (at least 24 hours after coating
application) down to the metal substrate; the knife blade tip shall be pressed
while kept at a 60 degree angle to the surface. For acceptance the variuos
coats shall be removable in a homogeneous way, without strips or large
scales coming off.
- visual check: the coated surface shall be 100% inspected visually; for
acceptance it is required that no paint runs, foreign bodies, orange peel,
oxidized or deteriorated areas are present.
2.7.5 Warranties and final acceptance
Final acceptance of the coating is given upon satisfactory result of a visual
check that will take place one year after completion of the work. The paint
Supplier shall give joint warranty with the Contractor to this purpose.
The acceptance criterion shall be the absence of traces of corrosion or of
deterioration of the coated component, that can be ascribed to defects in the
coating or to a defective application of it. Any exfoliation, whatever small, is
equivalent to a deterioration.
No deterioration is acceptable; the Contractor is invited to ascertain the ones
found and shall provide for repair as soon as possible.
