damage. Where required, the degree of contamination shall be assessed in accordance with
procedures described in ISO 8502-3.
All mating surfaces of equipment subject to outdoor exposure shall be coated with the full coating
system prior to assembly (saddles, skirts, base plates, bolted components, flanges, etc.).
9.2

Surface Preparation by Blast Cleaning


9.2.1

General

To prevent dust and abrasive contamination, blast cleaning shall not be done close to painting
operations or wet coated surfaces. Environmental restrictions shall be observed. Blast cleaned steel
surfaces shall not be touched by bare hands.
Blast cleaning shall not be carried out when the temperature of the surfaces to be blasted is less than
3 degree C above dew point and when the relative humidity of the air is greater than 85 %. For dew
point determination, refer to procedure described in ASTM E 337.
If the surface being cleaned lies adjacent to a coated surface, which is not to be repaired, the blast
cleaning shall overlap the coated surface by at least 50 mm. The edges of the existing coating system
shall be feathered. The remainder of the existing coated surface shall be properly protected with
shields or screens to prevent any over blast damage. Surface cleaning due to new weld or burn marks
shall be agreed with the Company.
If approved by the COMPANY, abrading with sandpaper or light grinding with a suitable (flexible) disc
may be used for surface preparation where sweep blasting is impossible. In addition, when aluminium
or galvanised components have to be painted, zinc or aluminium corrosion products (white rust)
and/or rust present shall be removed.
PFP and CSP preparation surface shall be done as per manufacturer recommendations.
Should Thermally Sprayed Aluminium be used to coat carbon steel, low alloy steels and stainless
steels, the surface profile shall be between 70 m to 110 m.

Surface Preparation of Stainless Steel and High Alloy Surfaces

The blast cleaning of stainless steel shall be carried out by sweep blasting as per SSPC-SP7, using a
fine abrasive not containing iron (e.g. garnet, Aluminium Oxide, Aluminium Silicates), glass pearls or
stainless steel shots. To reduce the risk of unacceptably damaging the substrate while sweep blasting
stainless steel or hot dip galvanized surfaces, it is recommended that a reduced nozzle pressure be
used in combination with a small size abrasive. Surface roughness shall be in the range of 20 m to
30 m or shall be agreed with paint manufacturer.
9.2.4

Surface Preparation of Other Non Ferrous Surfaces

Non-ferrous surfaces to be painted shall be degreased and preferably blast-cleaned with a nonferrous and chloride-free abrasive.
Except otherwise specified, surfaces roughness shall be Fine (G) as per ISO 8503-2. Brush-off
blasting as per SSPC-SP7 is also considered as acceptable.
Other cleaning method, may be acceptable in some cases (e.g. chemical etching of galvanized
surfaces), subject to COMPANY approval.
9.3

Alternative Surface Preparation (Power Tool Cleaning SSPC-SP11)


Alternative surface cleaning is only acceptable after approval of the COMPANY. Power tool cleaning
should be confined to minor areas and preferable to bare metal. It is not acceptable for areas difficult
to access such as under cellar and helidecks, areas exposed to water, steelwork to be insulated,
steelwork to be buried and internal surfaces of equipment and tanks.
Unless otherwise specified it shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of ISO 8504-3.
Power-tool cleaning (grinding) to bare metal shall be done in accordance with SSPC SP11. Stainless
steel surfaces shall not be treated with carbon steel cleaning tools or any tools previously used on
carbon steel.
If power-tool cleaning is not feasible, the surface cleanliness shall, as a minimum, meet the visual
standard St 3 in accordance with ISO 8501-2 at the time of coating. If the surface being prepared lies
adjacent to a coated surface, the power tool cleaning shall overlap the coated surface by at least 25
mm and the coated surface shall be feathered.

Before application of any subsequent coat of material, all damages from previous coats shall be
repaired. All loose paint shall be removed to a firm edge. All surface irregularities and contaminations
shall be removed. Hard, glossy surface may require abrading to obtain a suitable surface for painting.
Re-cleaning may differ depending on the type and extent of the defect or damage:

For defect with only aesthetical impact (runs, sags, etc ), corrective action shall be implemented
where visual aspect is important,

For defect or damage that leaves at least the primer coat on the metallic substrate, re-cleaning
shall include the removal of foreign matters (oil, grease, dust, debris, etc.) by solvent cleaning or
lightly brush blasted. The coating around the damaged area shall be chamfered by sanding to
ensure continuity of the patch coating. The full surface preparation and coating system shall then
be reapplied strictly in accordance with this specification (hand tool- or power tool-cleaning,
subject to COMPANY approval),

For defect or damage that leaves the metallic substrate uncoated, re-cleaning shall bring the
initial surface cleanliness and surface roughness back to the initial requirements either by blastcleaning or by an alternative method approved by COMPANY. The surface preparation for repair
coating shall be minimum St3 as per ISO 8501-1,
The re-cleaning shall carry over on to the secure surrounding coating for not less than 50 mm all
round and the edges shall be feathered (over a width of at least 70 mm).
After the surface cleaning the specified coating system or the required layers of the specified coating
shall be re-applied. Any additional coats shall blend in with the final coating on adjoining areas. Paint
Manufacturers shall be consulted if the existing coating requires abrading before over-coating to
obtain good bonding.
10.4.1 Inadequate coating thickness
For low and rejected coating DFT the coating system shall be repaired in accordance with this
specification. Areas with inadequate coating thickness shall be thoroughly cleaned and if necessary,
abraded, and additional compatible coats applied until meeting the specification. These additional
coats shall blend in with the final coating on adjoining areas.
Regarding maximum allowable dry film thickness, the first acceptance criteria will be the maximum
nominal dry film thickness as specified in this specification. When the dry film thickness exceeds the
specified maximum requirements, the maximum allowable dry film thickness of the paint manufacturer
may be acceptable, on a case by case basis and when approved by Company.
