5. PAINTING PROCEDURE:
For surfaces to be coated blast cleaning shall be done in as per client’s standard coating system specified in Cl.4 of this
procedure.
5.1 Pre Cleaning :
Prior to the blast cleaning and/or prior to any painting operation, the surface shall be free of any contamination and any
excessive rust scale shall be removed. All bolt holes shall be solvent cleaned prior to the commencement of blast cleaning.
Solvent cleaning shall be carried out in accordance with SSPC-SP1. Grease, oil, etc. shall be removed by means of a suitable
solvent in accordance with SSPC-SP 1, if necessary, an alkaline cleaning agent.
5.2 Masking:
All name plates, manufacturer’s identification tags, instrument glass, threaded stems and similar items shall be masked to
prevent coating deposition.
5.3 Surface Preparation:
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.

HAWA DOC NO
PROCEDURE FOR SURFACE PREPARATION No.

AND PAINTING M2588-HV-QC-PRO-09 1

If the surface being cleaned lies adjacent to a coated surface, which is not to be coated/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.

No acid washes, cleaning solvents or other chemical treatments shall be used on metal surfaces after they have been blast
cleaned. This restriction includes inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting.

The type of abrasive to be used shall be determined by the degree of cleanliness and surface profile requirements. Silica
Sand as abrasive material is prohibited in Saudi Aramco as per GI-0006.021 requirements.

Surface comparators may be used to check blast cleaned surfaces. After blast cleaning, the blasting material and dust shall
be removed by blowing air. Primer shall be applied within four hours of completion of surface preparation.

5.4 Abrasive Material:

5.4.1 Abrasive shall be kept dry and clean. Regardless of the type of abrasive, the sulfate content shall be less than 100
PPM, the chloride shall be less than 100 PPM chloride, and 2.0% by weight of calcium carbonate.
5.4.2 The use of reclaimed slag abrasives is prohibited. The use of reclaimed garnet is permitted provided it meets the
requirements of paragraph 5.4.1.and a CSD-approved recycling system is utilized.
5.4.3 The use of sand as a blasting abrasive shall not be permitted in accordance with GI-0006.021.
5.4.4 For spot removal of existing coating for inspection purposes, use other non-silica sand abrasive such as garnet,
grit and slag. The affected areas shall be re-blasted with suitable abrasive prior to re-coating.

5.5 Mixing, Thinning:

When use of thinner is permissible, it shall be added during the mixing process. All thinning and mixing shall be done under
supervision. After thinning or mixing the paint material shall be used within the pot life time mentioned by the
manufacturer.
All paint spraying equipment including mixers shall be thoroughly cleaned before the mixing of new materials. All coating
materials shall be mixed and thoroughly stirred in accordance with the instructions of the paint Manufacturer. Sufficient
agitation to maintain good mixing shall be applied until the product is used. If air is entrapped in the product during
mixing/stirring, sufficient time should be allowed for the air bubbles to escape before application. Prior to application, all
paint shall be thoroughly mixed until it is homogeneous. For quantities over 5L, a power stirrer shall be used. Thinner shall
be added only when the paint is fully homogeneous mixed.

5.6 Paint Application:

No coating shall be done for edges prepared for field welds or within five cms of these edges. Lines and pots shall be
thoroughly cleaned with cleaner before the addition of the new material. The spray gun should be held between 450mm to
600mm from the surface to be coated at right angle to the surface. Coating shall be uniformly applied without runs, sags,
solvent blisters, dry spray or other blemishes. All blemishes and other irregularities shall be repaired or completely removed
and recoated. Before spraying each coat, all areas such as corners, edges, welds, small brackets, bolts, nuts and interstices
shall be precoated, usually by brush, to ensure that these areas have atleast the minimum specified film thickness. To
ensure proper adhesion between successive coats all coats shall be applied after the specified drying time of the preceding
coat. DFT shall be measured after each coat and next coat shall be applied only after obtaining minimum DFT as per
specification.

When using inorganic zinc primer the contractor shall check for surface zinc oxide formation immediately prior to applying
an epoxy topcoat. Any oxide formation shall be removed by high pressure cleaning using sweet water (with maximum
chloride contents of 50 PPM and maximum TDS of 500 PPM), or by sweet water hosing followed by scrubbing with stiff
brushes to remove zinc salts. The surface shall be allowed to dry thoroughly prior to applying the topcoat. To avoid pinholes
and bubbles occurring in the intermediate coat of epoxy, a mist-coat thinned 10 to 20% should first be applied to the
inorganic zinc primer

5.6.1 Over coating:

Coatings shall be dried and cured in accordance with the paint Manufacturer’s recommendations, prior to over-coating.
Before over-coating, over-runs, drips and smears shall be removed and any coating damage or imperfection shall be
repaired. If the DFT does not meet the requirements of this specification, corrective action shall be taken.

AND PAINTING M2588-HV-QC-PRO-09 1

5.6.2 Spray Application:

Spraying is the preferred method of application. Lines and spray equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned with the paint
Manufacturer's recommended cleaner before the addition of new coating materials. The painting Contractor, as
recommended by the paint Manufacturer, shall supply a complete range of tips with varying spray angles and sizes. The
spray pressure shall be uniform and the spray pattern smooth.

5.6.3 Brush Application :

Provided that the paint Manufacturer confirms that the coating material is suitable, brush application may be used under
the following circumstances:
5.6.3.1 In those cases where the COMPANY considers that spray application may affect other plant, equipment,
property or personnel in or near the work site;
5.6.3.2 For “spot repair”, stripe coating or other irregular surfaces and small bore parts not suitable for spray
application;
5.6.3.3 Where indicated by environmental considerations.

5.6.4 Stripe Coat:

Before spray application of each coat, irregular surfaces such as sharp edges, welds, small brackets, interstices etc. shall be
stripe-coated, usually by brush, to ensure the specified film thickness is provided. Stripe coating of primer coats may be
carried out following spray application of the full primer coat. This will minimise the time between grit blasting and
application of the primer coat. With the exception of the primer, the colour of the stripe coat shall be different from the
previous and subsequent coats.
For large complex areas, stripe coating may be performed as follows:
- full primer coat,
- stripe coat with primer coating,
- full intermediate coat,
- stripe coat intermediate coating,
- full finish coat.
Note: In this case, the reason for application of a full primer coat at first is to protect the clean blasted surface and avoid
risk of re-rusting/flash rusting.

5.7 Cleaning after Painting:

After painted areas are completely dry valves shall be cleaned and for carbon steel surfaces rust preventive shall be applied
on uncoated areas.

6. PAINT SHALL NOT BE APPLIED UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS:

6.1 When the temperature of the surface is less than 3°C above the dew point to avoid risk of condensation during painting.
(Refer Table-3 below).
6.2 When the relative humidity of the air is greater than 85%.
6.3 When the surface temperature is greater than 50 °C (unless a higher temperature is agreed by the paint Manufacturer).
6.4 When the air temperature is less than approximately 4 °C, (depending on local conditions).
6.5 When there is the likelihood of an unfavorable change in weather conditions within two hours after painting.
6.6 When there is a deposition of moisture in the form of rain, condensation, frost, etc., on the surface.
6.7 When the available light is less than 500 lux.
6.8 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 with this specification.
6.9 Extra coats of paint shall be applied on the areas where the shape and/or plane of application result in thinly applied
coatings, e.g. at edges, welds, corners etc. To compensate for these effects, stripe coats of paints shall be applied (normally
applied first so that they will be covered by the full coat).

Example: If the air temperature is 21°C and the relative humidity is 70%, the dew point is 16°C.

NOTE:
• It is essential that no condensation occurs on cleaned steel or between coats during painting.
• Air at a given temperature can only contain a certain (maximum) amount of water vapour. This
proportion is lower at lower temperatures.
• The dew point is the temperature of a given air-water vapour mixture at which condensation
starts since, at that temperature, its maximum water content (saturation) is reached.
• A safety margin must be taken whereby the steel surface temperature is 3°C or more above dew
point.

cure times and could result in solvent entrapment and premature failure. Excessive humidity or
condensation on the surface during curing can interfere with the cure, can cause discoloration
and may result in a surface haze. Any haze or blush must be removed by water washing before
recoating. If the maximum recoat times have been exceeded, the surface must be abraded by sweep
blasting or sanding prior to the application of additional coats. For force curing, contact Carboline
Technical Service for specific requirements.
