D. INSPECTION
1. General
a) Work performed under these specifications shall be subject

to inspection by Owner or its authorized representative.
b) Work shall be accessible to the inspector at all times.
c) Any defective work or work not conforming to these

specifications shall be redone by the Contractor at no
additional cost to the owner.
d) The inspector is referred to ASTM D 3276, “Standard

Recommended Guide for Paint Inspectors”, for
information.
2. Surface Preparation
a) The degree of cleanliness shall be determined by

comparison to one of the referenced standards.
b) Blast profile shall be determined by the use of a visual

comparator and/or profile replication tape. The tape
provides a permanent record.
3. Film Thickness
a) Wet film thickness shall be determined by the Contractor

during application to assure that the final dry film
thickness, as computed from percent volume solids of the
coating, will be as specified.
b) Dry film thickness will be determined using the procedure

specified in SSPC-PA 2 “Measurement of Dry Paint
Thickness with Magnetic Gages.” The surface shall be

11 Work.doc
dried to handle, clean and free of dry spray and overspray
before measurements are made. Mikrotest or equal is an
acceptable instrument.
c) Where magnetic film thickness readings are in dispute or if

the substrate is not carbon steel, the dry film thickness may
be determined by micrometer measurements using
destructive methods if the coating can be properly repaired.
Test areas shall be prepared by the Contractor at no cost to
Owner.
d) The dry film thickness of each coat shall be as specified.
e) If the dry film thickness of any coat does not conform to

the minimum specified thickness, the Contractor shall
apply additional coats of the corresponding material at no
cost to the Owner. However, if minimum dry film
thickness is not attained, the area shall be returned to its
original surface conditions and the coating shall be
reapplied.
f) If the maximum dry film thickness of any coat is exceeded,

the coating shall be removed and reapplied at the discretion
of, and at not additional cost to the Owner.
4. Holiday Testing
a) Holiday testing is required for coatings for immersion

service. It is not usually required for external coatings but
may be required where the coating system will be exposed
to excessive splash, spillage, or water spray.
b) Wet sponge type holiday detectors shall be used for

coatings up to 25 mils and spark testing equipment for
thicker materials unless otherwise specified by the coating
manufacturer. Recommended voltage for spark testing is
about 100v/mil. Confirm with the coating manufacturer
which voltage to use. Owner reserves the right to approve
the method of holiday detection. It is recommended that
five drops of liquid detergent be added to each gallon of
water used for wetting the detector sponge.
c) The Contractor shall repair all holidays at no additional

cost to the Owner.

12 Work.doc
5. Determination of Cure
a) The proper cure of catalyzed coatings may be determined

by exposure to a suitable solvent. Excessive softening of
the film is an indication of improper cure. Such
determinations shall be made after sufficient time has
elapsed for complete curing to occur. Consult the coating
manufacturer for curing time and a suitable test solvent.
b) Primers must be properly cured before the application of a

topcoat. Curing times will vary depending upon the
material used, temperature and humidity. Cure may be
determined by burnishing the surface with a blunt metal
object such as a coin or paper clip. A properly cured
coating will be hard, and will not powder off.
c) Follow all manufacturer instructions.
6. Adhesion
a) Intercoat adhesion and adhesion of the coating to the

substrate may be determined by destructive methods such
as cross cutting with a sharp knife.
b) Test areas shall be repaired by the Contractor at not cost to

the Owner.
c) The Contractor shall remove and replace all coatings that

are determined to have inferior adhesion at no cost to the
Owner.

accordance with ANSI Standard A13.1-1981 as shown in Table 1.
b) A legend shall be provided for identification of contents. The legend shall be lettered,
giving the name of the contents in full or abbreviated form (see Table 3). Arrows shall
be used to indicate direction of flow. Contents shall be identified by legend with
sufficient additional details, such as temperature, pressure, etc. as are necessary to
identify the hazard. Legends shall be applied close to valves or flanges and adjacent to
changes in direction branches, and where pipes pass through walls or floors; and at
intervals on straight pipe runs sufficient for identification. Identification shall be by
markers. Marker type and material of construction will be determined, based on
environment and condition of pipe. Size of legend letters are recommended in Table 2.
The distance between the pipe and personnel must also be considered. For identification
of materials in pipes of less than 3/4” diameter, the use of a permanent tag is
recommended.

Remarks on above Painting Schedule:
1. The “Sherwin Williams” indicated coats are a guide. Other products with similar
characteristics can be used only with the prior approval of “CertainTeed
Corporation”.
2. Always check the compatibility between the products used for different layers.
3. Check the compatibility between the shop provided primer and the products used for
field layers.
4. For shop primed water tanks, verify that the primer used complies with NSF
(National Sanitation Foundation )Standard 61.
5. For each product follow manufacturer’s instructions (i.e. surface preparation, mixing,
life, application, temperature, humidity, drying schedule, spreading, cure,
precautions, first aid, cleaning, etc.).
