b) Fill grit-pot with grits via pot sieve.
c) Connect compressor unit and blasting gun via hoses to grit pot.
d) Put on compressor unit with valves in closed position.
e) Prior to blasting, grit blaster and operator shall kit-up with their safety gears, which
includes blasting hoods, blasting aprons, coveralls, safety boots, hand gloves, ear
muff and eye goggles.
f) During blasting operation, blasting area shall be completely free of other personnel.
g) The operator shall gradually open the compressor valves and then the grit pot
valves until the required pressure is obtained for blasting to S.A 2 1/2 (Near white
according to SPDC specification SSPC-SP10).
h) The grit blaster shall grit blast the pipes one after the other, making sure all
exposed surfaces are blasted.
i) The operator shall close all valves and put off compressor unit after blasting one by
one all exposed surface of pipes, and turn pipes through 180 0 to expose the under
sides.
j) Repeat steps (d) to (i), to grit blast the remaining side of pipes.
k) The hose shall be carbon imprignated to avoid static shock to the operator.
During site grit blasting the following procedures shall be used:
For height above two (2) meter, erect scaffolds to form platforms for grit blasters. Fill grit
pot with grit via sieve. Connect compressor unit and two blasting guns via hoses to two
grit pots. Put on compressor unit with valves in closed position.
Operators and grit blasters shall kit-up with their safety gears, which includes blasting
aprons, coveralls, safety boots, hand gloves, ear muff and eye goggles, prior to blasting
operation.
Blasting area shall be free of other personnel during blasting operations.

The operators shall gradually open the valves until the required pressure is obtained for

6.3 PRIMING AND PAINTING
6.3.1 PAINT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
After grit blasting of pipes, and structures they shall be primed with the appropriate primer
within 4 hours of abrasive cleaner application.
The paint shall be applied in accordance with the manufacturers product data sheet,
which shall include the mix ratio, the method of application, the use of thinners and over
coating times.
Areas with inadequate coating thickness shall be thoroughly cleaned, and if necessary,
abraded, and additional compatible coats shall be applied until they meet the required film
thickness.
Painting shall not be performed when the temperature of the surface is less than 3 oC
above the dew point of the surrounding air or when the relative humidity of the air is
greater than 85% unless local conditions dictate otherwise and SPDC is in agreement.
In addition, paints shall not be applied under the following conditions:

- When the surface temperature is greater than 40 oC (unless a higher temperature is
agreed by the paint manufacturer)
- When the air temperature is less than approximately 4 oC, (Depending on local
conditions)
- When there is the likelihood of an unfavourable change in weather conditions within
two hours after painting.
If condensation, rain, dust or other foreign materials contaminate the surface of a paint
coating, which is not dry to the touch, the paint shall be removed, the surface re-cleaned
and fresh paint applied in accordance to DEP 30.48.00.31.

e) Prime the pipes as specified by Paint Manufactures (they are aligned during grit blasting).
f) The spray painter shall prime the pipes one after the other to a d.f.t of 30 to 40 microns.
The pipes shall then be rotated through 180 o to show unprimed surfaces, which shall then
be primed one by one to a d.f.t of 30 to 40 microns.
