4 PROCEDURE
4.1 Pre-Blast Check
4..1.1 QC Inspector shall carry out checks before blasting to determine whether cleaning is requiredeither with the use of chemicals or solvents. Solvent clearing if required shall be carried out in
accordance with SSPC - SPI.
4..1.2 No abrasive blasting shall be carried out unless the steel surface is at least minimum 3°Cabove the Dew Point temperature.
4..1.3 Prior to start for blasting, all sharp edges and cut-offs shall be rounded to a smooth radius andall weld spatters shall be removed.
4..1.4 The compressed air supply shall be checked free of oil, moisture and contamination. As a
minimum, the inspector shall check and approve the air quality at the start & midpoint of each8-hour period. The method of checking shall be in accordance with SAES-H-100 Para 5.4.1
4..1.5 All compressed air hoses and paint lines shall be circular in section, free of cuts, kinks andtwists. Any change in direction shall be by long radius curves to maintain constant and
unrestricted flow where possible.
4..1.6 All hoses and nozzle connections shall be inspected prior to commencement of work to ensurethey are secure. Any defective connection will be immediately replaced.
4.2 Surface Preparation:
4.2.1 Surface preparation shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant coating system as
specified in SAES H-002, APCS-113-A
4.2.2 The type of abrasive to be used shall be determined by degree of cleanliness and surface
Profile requirements as specified in SAES-H-002.
4.2.3 Abrasives shall be kept dry and free of contamination. and shall comply in accordance withSAES-H-100 Para 5.2.1
4.2.4 Sufficient capacity compressors shall be used to supply free air to all elements of the abrasiveand coating operation as per SAES-H-100 Para 5.4
4.2.5 The Blast profile shall be measured with “PRESS-O-FILM” (Testex tape X coarse replicatape) and Profile thickness gauge. The replica tape shall be attached with inspection report as
a permanent record.

4.2.6 Residual chloride on the surface shall not exceed 40 mg/m².
Cleaning
4.2.1 Used abrasives shall be removed from external surfaces using a dry brush, blow down withclean dry compressed air.
4.3 Paint, Storage and Preparation
4.3.1 Paint and thinner shall be stored in well – ventilated building at storage temperature as
recommended in the manufacture’s data sheet
4.3.2 The date of manufacture shall be clearly marked on each paint container and paints that have
exceeded their shelf life shall be discarded
4.3.3 Paints that show signs of leakage or have gelled shall be discarded and any skins that haveformed shall be cut and removed before application. Paint preparation shall be in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendation and/ or accordance with SAES-H-100- Para-7.
4.3.4 All paints shall be thoroughly mixed before application, quantities over 5 liters shall be mixed
using a power mixer. If the paint cannot be mixed uniformly (thick sediment at the bottom of
the can) it shall be discarded.
4.4 Paint Application
4.4.1 The prepared surface shall be visually inspected for cleanliness and profile prior to coating.
4.4.2 Prepared surface shall be coated within a maximum of four hours and before any deterioration
begins. Surfaces that have begun to deteriorate, or have exceeded the four hours shall be re- blasted.
4.4.3 Approved Paint materials for APCS 113-A as per SAES-H-002V shall be used for externalapplication of Alloy spools including associated fittings to specify DFT. WFT will be
monitored to control the required DFT.
4.4.4 Paint shall only be applied if the following conditions are met and as specified by the
Manufacturer:
Surface temperature to be above 10oC and below 60
oC. Surface temperature to be also
at least minimum 3oC above dew point temperature.
The surface shall be free of oil, grease, dirt, loose paint, dust, rust and other surface
contaminants.

There is protection from adverse weather conditions, such as winds that may blowsand, or other foreign bodies on the painted surface or it may disrupt the paint pattern
or cause dry spray.
4.4.5 Recoating intervals shall be maintained as per manufacturer’s data sheet. Color contrast between coats shall also be maintained.
4.4.6 Dry film thickness of each coat shall be measured in accordance with SSPC-PA2 using a
suitable non ferrous thickness gauge.
4.4.7 All the work shall be documented for future reference.
4.6 Repairs
4.6.1 All defective areas shall be cleaned with solvents or detergents.
4.6.2 Areas less than 0.1M2
shall be hand abraded or ground back to the surface substrate usingat least 80 grit disc sanders and paint touch up shall be by brush only.
4.6.3 Areas greater than 0.1M2
shall be blast cleaned to original specification and paintapplication shall be airless spray.
4.7 Quality Control Procedure
4.7.1 Quality control requirements are to be carried out in accordance with Inspection and test
plan of the project. All documents shall be the latest version.
4.7.2 Abrasive blasting/Painting equipment shall be checked by the crew supervisor for
suitability prior to the start of the surface preparation and coating activities (as per
approved ITP)
4.7.3 Record on a daily basis critical in process inspection activities.(As per approved ITP)
4.7.4 Paint/Coating and Equipment check list is required to be completed and signed by theCoating Crew Supervisor and verified and signed by the client Inspector
(As per approved ITP)
