SURFACE PREPARATION
5.1.
Carbon Steels (Bare Metal)

Surfaces shall be thoroughly washed with potable water to remove all water soluble salts, dirt and dust. The
water washing shall be considered critical especially if the surfaces are exposed to salty environment. If any
grease and oils are present on the surface, the surfaces shall be further washed with biodegradable non-ionic
detergent solution until the surfaces are completely free of all surface contamination. There shall be no smudge
on the surface when rubbed with a clean cloth. Surfaces cleaned with detergent shall be thoroughly rinsed with
potable water to remove traces of detergent. Solvent Cleaning methods shall be as outlined in SSPC SP-1.
Under no circumstances, shall the substrate remain without a primer coat for more than 4 hours.
Welded areas shall be blast cleaned or ground to remove burrs, mill scale, weld spatter, flux, or protrusions.
Weld reinforcement shall not be removed and base metal shall not be ground below the surface. Surface profile
measurements for abrasive blast cleaned surfaces shall be made with a Keane Tator profile comparator, clemtec
anchor profile chips, Testex Press-O-Film or other Contractor accepted method suitable for abrasive being
used.
Surface preparation and anchor pattern (surface profile) shall be as specified for each individual paint system.
Profile of the abrasive blasted surfaces shall comply with the requirements provided by the paint system and
measured in accordance with standard NACE RP0287.
Only grit blasting shall be used for surface preparation. All rough welds shall be rounded and contoured. Sharp
edges shall be rounded, chamfered and broken. The surface profile depth shall be achieved by using a medium
that has good angularity of form, sharp cutting edges and is substantially free from half rounds.
Before applying any coating, blast cleaned surfaces shall be vacuumed and wiped with a clean cloth to remove
all traces of dust.
Cleaned surfaces shall be coated within eight hours and before occurrence of any trace of rust. If rust is
noticed, the surface shall be blast cleaned again. Where the item to be painted is large, it shall be cleaned and
primed in sections.
The maximum allowable level of water soluble salt contamination shall be 20mg/m2. Surfaces that do not meet
this criterion shall be reprocessed.
5.2.
Carbon Steels (Pre-painted, Primed)

All surfaces shall be thoroughly degreased and washed in the manner stated for bare carbon steels above.
The washed surfaces shall be completely dry prior to further application of paint materials. Any additional
surface preparation, such as sanding, required by the coating manufacturer shall be followed prior to topcoating.

Equipment (except tanks): 1 for each 100 ft2
Tanks: 5 for each 1000 ft2
The ENGINEER may require thickness measurement of individual coats of a multi-coat system. Such
destructive measurements of coating thickness shall be performed by the SUPPLIER and CONTRACTOR
when directed by the ENGINEER.

Primer and Finishes & Painting Schedule

Piping, equipment and tanks specified to be insulated shall not be primed or finish painted. However, all protrusions
through the insulation and portions not covered by insulation (such as flanges, nozzles, supports, clips, manways,
and saddles) shall be painted in accordance with the paint system specified for uninsulated surfaces. The painting
requirements specified in the Painting Schedule below pertains to all uninsulated surfaces including uninsulated
surfaces of partially insulated piping and equipment.

1) Blast cleaning requirement applies to first (prime) coat only. Refer to section 5 for surface preparation
requirement before applying as a finish coat.
2) Paint materials containing zinc and aluminum shall not come in contact with stainless steel surfaces to
avoid embrittlement.
3) Deleted.
4) Non heat curing silicon acrylic paint or silicon acrylic paint having heat curing temperature 120 C
shall be used.
5) The average surface profile shall be 1.5 to 2.0 mils for inorganic zinc rich, urethane and epoxy paints,
and 0.50 to 0.75 mils for silicone paints.
6) Exterior painting, except inorganic zinc spray application, within plant is restricted to brush or roll
application unless a written exception signed by the owner.
7) DFT listed is nominal range. Consult individual supplier data sheets for recommended thickness.
8) Painting under insulation is required to prevent corrosion under Insulation due to presence of chloride.
9) All Stainless Steel surfaces shall be pickled and passivated as per Manufacturer Standard.

Paint Materials for Client Approval

Materials specified or referenced by a manufacturer's name and/brand are intended to describe the type and quality
level of the material desired and are not intended to be restrictive or to exclude similar items by other
manufacturers. Alternate materials require approval from the ENGINEER before being used. Any approval given
by the ENGINEER for alternate materials and/or application methods is subject to change if the performance of the
alternate materials or application method is later found to be inferior to the specified materials and methods. In
such cases, the SUPPLIER and CONTRACTOR shall remove and replace the applied coatings and revert the
materials and application to comply with this Specification at no cost to FLUOR.
Approval is limited to application over surfaces operating at and application conditions less severe than the
conditions stated in the published literature of the paint material manufacturer.
Equipment fabricator shall refer paint supplier product datasheet before applying painting. They shall also confirm
the painting product as required per painting schedule in Attachment 1.
