PAINTINGPROCEDURE

PONo:4501076714

All parts of control valves, sight glasses, name plates etc. that are not to be blasted
and painted, and are subject to damage from either the blast or the abrasive
material shall be properly protected.
6.2

Roof, Shell and Accessories of tank external

Plate surfaces shall be rendered free of rust, mill scale, loosely adhering materials,
paints, oxides, corrosion products and other foreign matter by near white blasting
(SSPC SP10 /NACE No.2 Near White Blast Cleaning). Surface profile after
blasting will be measured with string micrometer or dial surface profile gauge
according to S/S-Sa 2 . Grit material as per MPN specification shall be used for
blasting. The required blast profile achieved shall be in accordance with the
coating manufacturers requirements. Only MPN approved grit abrasive materials
shall be used. A test coupon has to be produced prior to start of the blasting and
painting program. The test plate shall be 125mm x 125mm x 6mm and should be
blasted and coated within the same application parameters as the project.
6.3

Tank Internal

Grease, visible oil, soil and similar contaminant shall be removed by Solvent
Cleaning method prior to blasting. Plate surfaces shall be rendered free of rust, mill
scale, loosely adhering materials, paints, oxides, corrosion products and other
foreign matter by White Metal Blast, (SSPC SP5 /NACE No.1).
Grit material as per MPN specification shall be used for blasting.
The required blast profile achieved (Grade 3 SSPC SP5 /NACE No.1) shall be
in accordance with the coating manufacturer requirements. Only MPN approved
grit abrasive materials shall be used. A test coupon has to be produced prior to
start of the blasting operation of Tank Internal. The test plate shall be 125mm x
125mm x 6mm and should be blasted and coated within the same application
parameters as the project
6.4

Common

After blasting, traces or accumulations of spent residual abrasives that are evident
shall be removed by blow down by compressed air that is free of oil and water. The
surface shall be inspected 15 minutes after blow down to assure that not resettled
on the blasted surfaces. If dust has resettled blow down shall be repeated until
dust is no longer evident. The degree of surface cleanliness shall be verified to
meet the standard of SSPC SP10 AND SSPC VIS1 - Guide and Reference
Photographs for Steel Surfaces Prepared by Dry Abrasive Blast Cleaning
Care shall be taken to prevent rusting and / or contamination of cleaned surfaces.
Cleaned surfaces shall be primed within 4 hours before detrimental corrosion or
recontamination occurs. If rust forms, the surface shall be re-blasted and blown
down ahead of priming as per the same degree of cleanliness as specified by this
procedure for external (SSPC-SP 10) / internal (SSPC-SP5) surfaces.

PAINTINGPROCEDURE

PONo:4501076714

Hand and power tool cleaning shall be done when it is not possible to use abrasive
blasting. The surface shall be made free from visible oil, grease and dirt and from
any poorly adhering mill scale, rust, paint coating and foreign matter to specified
standard of SSPC SP 3 and SSPC VIS1.
Hard to reach areas and surfaces that will not be accessible after erection shall be
blasted and painted prior to installation
All blast pots shall have current pressure test certification of max 7.5 bar.
Blasting pressures will be determined by using a hypodermic needle gauge to
measure pressure at the blasting nozzle of 9.6mm (as near to the nozzle as
possible). Pressures will then be compared to the blasting pressure indicated on
the compressor.
Blast hoses (CLEMCO) will contain an anti-static layer within the walls of the hose.
The compressed air supplied for blasting operations shall be dry and free of water
and oil. Oil/water traps and automatic drains shall be provided and shall be
frequently checked and emptied.
Blasting operations are not permitted if the steel temperature is less than 50F
(10C) above the air dew point or if the surface is wet or there is the possibility that
the surface will be subject to wetting before the primer coat can be applied.
The surface to be primed must be blasted, dust and moisture-free before priming.
No coating shall be applied when the atmospheric temperature is below 50F
(10C) and when the steel surface temperature is less than 37.4F (3C)above the
air dew point.
Under no circumstances the paint application operations shall be done during
unfavorable weather conditions (fog, mist, rain, excessive wind, or (harmattan) or
when relative humidity exceeds 85%.
Surfaces for atmospheric exposure shall be blast cleaned to SSPC SP 10.
Surfaces subject to immersion shall be abrasive cleaned to SSPC SP 5.

NOTES:
All hoses and airlines shall have maximum pressure of (7.0kg/cm2) indications of pressure
gauge from compressed air.
Standard PPE (Overalls, Gloves, Hard Hat, and Safety Boots & Glasses) shall be worn at all
times on the project.

13.0 WASTE GRITS

These are hydrated silicate materials commonly used for blasting of pipe and steel
materials. They are coarse sand mixed with steel particles.
Handling Disposal Practices: The recommended management practice is to put them
in double bag for the waste disposal agent to collect for proper disposal.
Waste shall be disposed off as per Waste Management Plan (NGA-NF-SPSAF-AD31191).

PAINTING REPAIR PROCEDURE

Repairs to be in accordance with minimum requirements as indicated in
GP 56=02=03 Section 10
1. Segregate the materials on the storage stack as required for proper checking / painting access
to the painted surfaces.
2. Check / Measure the painted surfaces of the plates / structure to identify the areas with low DFT
(Dry Film Thickness) by using a calibrated DFT gauge. Areas to be marked as required in case
of localized thin areas.
3. Rub down / roughen all surfaces that will require additional coat of paint using emery cloth to
remove all paint dry spray, contaminants and to provide good inter-coat adhesion. NOTE: Thin
areas showing rust on the surface shall be spot blasted to SSPC SP 5.
4. Fresh water wash / Air blow the surfaces to remove all dust and other contaminants on the
surfaces to be painted. Fresh water for this operation shall be defined as potable water with a
maximum PH of 8, which has no more than 200 ppm TDS and 50ppm chlorides.
5. Mixing of paint shall be as per paint manufacturer recommendation; care shall be taken in the
mixing of the paint and addition of thinners to the mixed paint.
6. Apply paint using manufacturer recommended procedure. Equipment coating capacity should
be followed to avoid excessive dry spray on the paint film. Applied Wet Film Thickness (WFT)
should be monitored to avoid excessive paint build up during paint application.
7. After the paint is dry, DFT readings shall be taken to confirm that the coating thickness
conforms to the requirements of the paint manufacturer / procedure.
NOTE: Care should be taken to ensure that the paint film is dry and hard to the touch to
avoid mechanical handling damages during re-stacking.
