D-12001-4-PPS1001
6.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface preparation shall not take place when the air temperature is below 5 deg C, and when the steel temperature is less than 3 deg C above the dew point or the relative humidity is greater than 85%, in condition of strong or gusty winds or of poor visibility. The surfaces should be cleaned by blasting. Unless prohibited under local rules, blasting materials i.e sand of high hardness (e.g. corundum, quartz, olivine) shall be used. Dry oil-free compressed air shall be used for blasting. The mean peak-to-valley height of the blasted surface should be maintained as applicable. If the mean peak-to-valley height exceeds the specified dry film thickness of the prime coat (70 micron), the contractor shall inform the site management. The contractor shall not commence with the application of the coating materials until the orderer has decided on an adequate increase of the film thickness. Blast cleaning operations must conform to all regulations of local Air Quality Management, districts and other regulatory agencies Prior to any blast cleaning, all surfaces that are to be painted shall be cleaned of any dirt, oil or grease by solvent cleaning and allowed to dry. The surfaces that are not to be coated (e.g. markings, designation plates, flange faces, sight glasses, Instruments, etc) shall be suitably protected by wrapping, taping or other means to prevent damages. Welded areas shall be dressed where necessary to remove slag, spatter, etc, and prevent sharp rough areas. Weld reinforcement shall not be removed. Blast cleaned surfaces shall be primed on the same day and before occurrence of any trace of moisture or visible rust. If rust forms, the surface must be re-blast cleaned before painting. The surfaces to be coated shall be free from contamination (e.g. welding slag, welding spatter, dust, oil, grease, salt, mill scale, rust, old coatings). Surface defects (e.g. cracks, lamination, burrs, pitting) shall be removed by suitable methods. Sharp edges (e.g. saw cuts, oxygen cutting) shall be adequately rounded by grinding After surface preparation, contact surfaces of structural joints (e.g. of steel structures) with high strength bolts shall be adequately protected until painting. Any of following methods to be opted for surface preparation,
7.
a)
Surface Cleaning by Wire Brush - For Carbon Steel
b)
Surface Cleaning by Sand Blasting - For Carbon Steel
CLEANING OF WELD JOINTS STAINLESS STEEL
Irrespective of the fluid service, all stainless steel piping external weld joints shall undergo chemical cleaning and passivation process after fabrication. Indeed even the most adapted stainless steel can corrode in service if there is contamination of the surface. Both pickling and passivation are chemical treatments applied to the surface of stainless steel to remove contaminants and assist the formation of a
D-12001-4-PPS1001 continuous chromium-oxide passive film. Pickling and passivation are both acid treatments and neither will remove grease or oil. If the fabrication is dirty, it may be necessary to use a detergent or alkaline
cleaning before pickling or passivation. After welding, clean all the Welded Joints properly by any of the following Methods,
i)
i)
Acid Cleaning & Pickling Passivation.
ii)
Polishing. Acid Cleaning & Pickling Passivation of Joints
Following steps to be carried out for Acid Cleaning.
a)
Clean all the spatters, slag, dust and foreign particles.
b)
Prepare the cleaning solution with commercial Nitric Acid (HNO3), Hydrofluoric acid (HF) and Water. Proportion shall be 4:3:4 (HNO3: HF: Water).
c) d)
Piping shall be wetted with above solution for a period of 10 to 15 Min.
Use Stainless steel wire brush to clean up the weld joints. Clean the entire pipeline thoroughly by rinsing with water. Chloride content of this water shall not be exceeding than 25 ppm.
e)
Ensure Water shall not be entrapped inside the pipeline & Pipe should be completely Dry. After acid cleaning of weld joints, clean the joint, apply Passivation Paste on weld joint & burned area, wait for 30 Minutes & clean it by water with soft brush.
ii)
Polishing of Joints After welding, welding joints should be first cleaned by using Power Tool with Sand Paper wheel and then polished it by Buffing Wheel.

PAINTING APPLICATION
8.1 Handling of Paint
Storing, thinning, mixing, safety, handling and application of paint materials shall be in
accordance
with manufacturers instructions. All paint containers shall remain closed until required for use. Manufacturers pot-life requirements shall be strictly adhered to. Pigmented and catalysed materials shall be thoroughly mixed before being applied. Each component of multi-component materials shall be thoroughly mixed prior to being combined and mixed as a unit. 8.2 Application of Paint Paint shall be applied to dry, clean, prepared surfaces and under favourable conditions in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Unless otherwise accepted in coating manufacturers technical data sheets, coating application shall be done when the ambient temperature is above 4C and below 38C, the relative humidity is less than 85 percent, and the surface temperature is 3C above the dew point. Effective moisture and oil traps shall be used in compressed air lines for both conventional and airless spray equipment.
D-12001-4-PPS1001
Each piece of Pipe / Fitting shall be masked off 50mm from an end which is to be welded, so that the
area remains bare prior to installation. It shall be the Fabricator / Applicators responsibility to see that all masking material is thoroughly removed from the Pipe / Fitting and any damage to the coated surface is repaired.
All coatings shall be applied by Spray / Brush / Roller. Brush or roller application will be used for touchup and to areas inaccessible by spray gun. The coating materials shall be applied with a uniform thickness. Corners, edges, both heads, etc. which are not easily accessible shall be pre-coated with small brushes. 9.
