The following paragraph should be added in "Surface Preparation" section: (page-15)
"Surfaces to be painted, which cannot be blast cleaned due to inaccessibility or impracticality (e.g. oil
or instrument air tubing) may be cleaned either mechanically or chemically upon the approval of the
Company's representative."
The following paragraph: (page-15)
NOTE: Low grade stainless steel such as ANSI 302, 304, 304L, 321, 347, 316, 316L, 317, 317L shall
be painted. Should be replaced with: Stainless steel is not normally required to be painted but where
insulation is to be applied to stainless steel equipment, painting shall be applied based on Table 3. Zinc
containing paints are not allowed for this purpose.
Stainless steel items that are to be stored in the open air for long periods or are to be shipped as deck
Cargo, protective coating should be specified by the company.
The following paragraph should be added in "Surface Preparation" section: (page-15)
"Before painting, stainless steel surfaces shall be cleaned degreased and blast cleaned with a non-
metallic abrasive (the use of copper slag or coal slag is not allowed).
The following paragraph should be replaced with “Paint system applicable shall be in
accordance with Table 2, Paint Schedule” (Page 23).
“Paint system applicable shall be in accordance with Clause 2.2, Paint Schedule”
The following paragraph should be replaced with “Paint Color Schedule shall be in accordance

Page 16 of 21
“Paint Color Schedule shall be in accordance with Clause 2.3.”
Table 4 should be modified as following (Page24):

Rows 8,9 shall be deleted.
Row 19 shall be changed to “Lean Gas”
Row 20 shall be changed to “Acid Gas”
Row 25 shall be changed to “Service water (Utility, Raw, Plant, …)”
The following paragraph shall be move from clause 3.9 to clause 3.11. (Page-26):
Adherence Check:
Paint adherence shall be checked as per ASTM method D 3359. Method A (X-cut) shall be used for
paint film thicker 125 microns, Method B (lattice pattern) shall be used for paint films up to 125
microns.
Test Method A: An X-cut is made in the film to the substrate; pressure-sensitive tape is applied over
the cut and then removed. Acceptable rating is 5A (No peeling or removed) or 4A (Trace peeling or
removed along incisions).
Test Method B: A lattice pattern with either six or eleven cut in each direction(cross cut) is made in the
film to the substrate, pressure-sensitive tape is applied over the lattice and then removed, and adhesion
is evaluated by comparison with descriptions and illustration. Spacing between the cut lines shall be 1
mm for film thicknesses up to 50 microns and 2 mm for film thicknesses from 50 to 125 microns.
Acceptable results are rate 5B (The edges of the cut are completely smooth, none of the squares of the
lattice is detached) or 4B (Small flakes of the coating are detached at intersections, less than 5% of the
area is affected. If the test is unsatisfactory, the entire surface shall be blast cleaned and repainted.
Recoating after this destructive test is at the Applicator’s expense.
The following paragraph should be added in "Quality Control and Testing" section: (page-28)
"Surface preparation and/or paint application operations shall not commence until relative humidity
is less than the limits set. Moisture on the surface being prepared or painted shall be measured every
day with a surface moisture indicator before beginning surface preparation operations or applying a
coat of paint."
Dry paint thickness shall be measured with a magnetic probe, such as Micro test or Elcometer or
equivalent. It is imperative that the magnetic probe be calibrated for each thickness of coating steel
support with a nonmagnetic block whose thickness is as close as possible to the coating being checked.
The equipment shall be calibrated at least twice a day in order to achieve the specified dry film thickness,
Page 17 of 21
wet film thickness be checked during the coating application with wet film thickness gauges. Each coat's
thickness and total thickness shall be checked. Make five (5) separate spot measurements spaced evenly
over each section of the structure 10 square meters in area (divide the entire surface in 10 square meter
areas).
On each spot, make 3 readings by moving the probe a short distance for each new gage reading. Discard
any unusually high or low gage reading that cannot be repeated consistently. On each spot, make 3
readings by moving the probe a short distance for each new gage reading. Discard any unusually high
or low gage reading that cannot be repeated consistently.
Porosity Check is used only for internal lining. Coating integrity shall be checked with a direct current
holiday detector. The electrode shall consist of an eighty (80) cm2 cellulose sponge soaked in a 1 %
detergent solution in potable water. The instrument shall be calibrated and checked every hour to
indicate a coating porosity of 80 000 ohms under a voltage of 67.5 volts between the ground and wet
sponge. A resistance of 90 000 ohms indicates no porosity. An alternating current holiday detector may
be used. In this case, the voltage between the painted steel surface and the test electrode shall be 5 volts
per micron of paint coat thickness. The inspector shall mark defective areas for repair. Any porous area
shall be repaired. When the number of pores is greater than 3 per square meter, the entire area shall be
blast cleaned and repainted as per this specification."
A Roughages or Keane-Tator comparator shall be used in determining anchor pattern of blasted
surfaces, when a fixed anchor pattern rang is required by a specific painting system. Replica tape also is
a proper technique for roughness measurement.
The air’s relative humidity shall be measured with a psychomotor. Surface preparation and/or paint
application operations shall not commence until relative humidity is less than the limits set in this
specification. Relative humidity shall be measured and recorded a minimum of six (6) times a day
whence two (2) times before commencement of work. Moisture on the surface being prepared or
painted shall be measured every day with a surface moisture indicator before beginning surface
preparation operations or applying a coat of paint.
The adherence testing shall be done on fully cured systems only.
Pull off test shall be carried out for paint systems with dry film thickness above 400 µm. Pull off test
shall be checked as per ASTM method D4541 or ISO 4624 standards.
The following paragraph should be added in "“GUARANTEE" section: (page-29)

Page 18 of 21
Contractors undertaking painting and/or coating work, which is to be carried out in accordance with
this Specification, shall guarantee the quality of their coating work.
The following paragraph should be replaced with “The Painting Contractor and the paint manufacturer
shall jointly guarantee the coating systems applied for a period of two years from the date of application
“ in “GUARANTEE" section: (page-29)
“The Painting Contractor and the paint manufacturer shall jointly guarantee the coating systems applied
for a period of five years from the date of application.”

Whilst the content of this specification defines the essential requirements of surface preparation and
painting, they do not relieve the Painting Contractor from his responsibility to carry out the work in
accordance with the appropriate codes standards listed in section 2.0.
The paint manufacturer's instruction shall be followed at all times. Particular attention shall be paid to the
following:
► Proper storage to avoid exposure, as well as extremes of temperature
► Surface preparation prior to painting
► Mixing & thinning
► Application of paints and recommended limit on time intervals between coats.


Page 15 of 29 0001
► Pot-life of two-pack materials.
► The minimum time before over coating
► The maximum time, if any, to over coating for proper adhesion between coats.
The following materials do not require shop or field painting:
► High grade Stainless steel, nickel, aluminum and other metals not subject to corrosion, concrete
and masonry surfaces.
NOTE: Low grade stainless steel such as ANSI 302, 304, 304L, 321, 347, 316, 316L, 317, 317L shall be
painted.
For Galvanized, cadmium plated or bichromated surfaces:
► These surfaces shall be brushed then degreased with a suitable solvent and primed with a suitable
phosphating primer before painting or blast swept and cleaned from dust prior to painting.
Precautions shall be taken to prevent paint from being applied to nameplates, couplings, shafts, valve
stems, bearings, control valves, instrument glasses, moving parts and other machined surfaces.
Machined surfaces and thread surfaces shall be protected with temporary rust preventive paint.
It is intended that to the extent possible, surface preparation and coating to be performed in the Painting
Contractor's yard to minimize site work.

On stainless steel surface only zinc free paints shall be used. The bolting shall be de-greased and
have its surface prepared before paint application.
3.2. SURFACE PREPARATION

Surfaces to be painted shall be cleaned and prepared before any paint is applied.

Page 16 of 29 0001
All oil and grease, dirt, welding slag and fume deposit, rust and loose mill scale, prevent good adhesion
and should be removed. Weld edges shall be free from weld spatter. Welds and edges shall be ground
smooth and corners rounded and the weld areas shall be cleaned of salt deposits, etc.
Particular care should be taken to prevent rusting and/or contamination of cleaned or primed surfaces.
Blast cleaning shall not be carried out on wet surfaces or surfaces which will be wet after blasting; nor
shall blast cleaning be carried out when surface temperature is less than 3°C above ambient dew point, or
when the relative humidity is greater than 80% or beyond daylight hours on exterior location.
Prepared surfaces should be primed generally within four hours or before visible re-rusting occurs.
Cleaned surfaces shall never be left overnight prior to coating, in such case reblasting or recleaning is
necessary.
No acid washes or other cleaning solutions or solvents shall be used on metal surfaces that have been
blasted. This includes inhibitive washes intended to prevent rusting.
Chipping, scraping and Steel wire brushing using manual or power driven tools can not remove firmly
adherent mill scale and shall only be used where blast cleaning is impractical, with the approval of client
and in accordance with the grade ST2 or ST3 as will be specified.
Surface irregularities including weld spatter, rough capping, undercut and slag together with sharp or
rough edges and burrs, surface laminations and laps shall be removed or made smooth prior to
commencement of surface preparation. Such irregularities which become apparent after surface
preparation by blast cleaning or hot acid pickling shall be similarly treated.
Blasting operations shall never be allowed in the vicinity of painting work or near to a wet paint surface.
Metallic abrasives such as cast steel or chilled iron shot or grit shall be used as abrasives for blast
cleaning of steel surfaces. Size and hardness of shot and grit abrasives shall be according to the
requirements of Table Bl of IPS-C-TP-101. In general, the acceptable sizes of abrasives shall be within
the range of 0.500 to 1.40 millimeter. Non-metallic abrasives such as silica sands shall not be used for
blast cleaning.
All abrasives shall be free of dust, dirt and other foreign matter and shall be kept dry at all the times.
Residual shot, grit and dust shall be completely removed after blasting preferably by vacuum cleaning,
but otherwise by air blast or fibber brush.
The compressed air supply used for blasting shall be free of water and oil. Adequate separators and traps
shall be provided and these shall be kept emptied of water and oil. Accumulations of water and oil shall
be removed from the air receiver by regular purging.

Page 17 of 29 0001
This clause shall also apply to air used for the dusting of cleaned surfaces. The pressure and the volume
of compressed air supply for blast cleaning shall meet the work requirement.
The cleaning method to be used shall be as per Table 2.
The surface preparation specified shall be in accordance with Swedish standards SIS 055900 or B.S or
SSPC standards. The level of cleanliness in different standards is as indicated here below:
TYPE OF SURFACE
PREPARATION SIS 055900 SSPC BS
HAND TOOL CLEANING ST 2 SP-2 _
POWER TOOL CLEANING ST 3 SP-3 _
WHITE METAL BLAST CLEANING SA3 SP-5 FIRST QUALITY
NEAR WHITE BLAST CLEANING SA 21/2 SP-10 SECOND QUALITY
COMMERCIAL BLAST CLEANING SA2 SP-6 THIRD QUALITY
Shop primed and other previously painted surfaces scheduled for painting shall be examined for bare and
marred spots. All such areas shall be adequately prepared, cleaned and touched-up with matching type
priming materials before application of other paint.
Blast cleaned surfaces may be protected for short periods by a thin coat of pre-treatment or pre-
fabrication primer. It is imperative that such gap primers should be applied as a continuous coating in an
even manner to achieve a minimum film thickness of 20 microns. Such primers do not replace the full
thickness of permanent primer.
► Required Roughness:
All surfaces shall be blast cleaned to obtain a total angular roughness Rt included:
Between 30 and 50 microns when total thickness of the coat of painting applied is less than 400
microns,
Between 50 and 80 microns when total thickness of the coat of painting applied is greater than 400
microns,
Only dry blasting techniques are allowed. Compressed air for abrasive blasting shall not contain
any trace of oil or water. Blasting nozzle pressure shall not be less than 6.2 bar g (90 psi g). The use
of SPONGEJET process with the proper equipment is approved.
3.3. STORAGE AND PREPARATION OF PAINTS

Paints shall be stored in a well ventilated store room, away from sunshine or excessive heat. The paints
shall be maintained at a temperature between 4°C and 27°C. However, the manufacturer's instructions for

Page 18 of 29 0001
storage temperature shall also be considered. Open air storage shall be avoided particularly for primers
and undercoats.
The maximum storage time for paints shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Paint drums/cans shall not be opened unless required for use. The label information shall be legible in
accordance with code and shall be checked at the time of use.
The drums of heavy paints which settle during storage period (such as red lead oxide primer and etc.)
shall be rolled every six weeks. Turning the drums on their ends is not allowed.
Paints shall not be used if it has gelled, or if it has thickened to such an extent that more than 5% by
volume (10% by volume for priming paints) of the correct thinners is required to bring it to brushing
consistency.
Where a skin has formed in the container, the skin shall be cut loose from the sides of the container,
removed and discarded. If the volume of such skins is more than 2% of the remaining paint, the paint
shall not be used
Mixing
► Mixing shall be carried out by powered mixers and/or shakers. Only small quantities shall be mixed
by hand mixing.
Mixing directions as furnished by the manufacturer shall be followed.
Mechanical agitation during application shall be sufficient to keep pigment in solution.
► Mixing in open containers shall be done in a well ventilated area away from sparks or flames.
► Paints mixed in original container shall not be transferred until all settled pigment is incorporated
in the vehicle.
► Paints shall not be mixed or kept in suspension by using a bubbling air stream.
► Paint shall not remain in spray pots or buckets overnight but shall be gathered in a closed container
and remixed before use.
► When mixing two-component paints, check and remix each component individually. Then blend
the two components at low speed until the mixture is completely uniform in color. Often, the two
components are supplied in different colors so that a good mix can be achieved. Do not mix more
than a few liters at a time since the exothermic caused by the mixture may be so high as to make
the paint solidify in the container.

► Hand mixing of paints is allowed for only containers up to 5 liters. All large containers shall be
rolled on its side before opening, then mixed by mechanical agitators and brought to a uniform
consistency. Where pigment separation readily occurs such as heavy or metallic pigments,
prevention shall be made for continuous mixing during application.
Thinning
► Paint shall be thinned in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Only thinners of the type
recommended by the paint manufacturer shall be used.
3.4. PAINTING APPLICATION
All painting shall be carried out in conformity with this specification and with the paint manufacturer's
recommendation.
The accepted methods of applying coating on site are by brush and spray. Choice of method is usually
determined by the nature of the work or the type of material to be applied.
Painting Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that he is in possession of the latest available issue
of the paint data sheets and product safety data sheets printed by the paint manufacturer of the particular
batch of paint to be applied. Such data shall include specific recommendations and instructions
concerning shelf life, pot life thinners, directions for thinning and mixing, drying time, curing time,
recommended spray equipment, safety equipment, cleanings solvent and any other provisions for
application of both prime and finish coats. Product safety data sheets shall include information concerning
general composition, physical data, hazards and precautions during and after application, toxicity/first aid,
storage, spillage and waste disposal.
These recommendations shall be considered an inherent part of this standard and followed accordingly.
Painting Contractor shall avoid contamination of any adjacent items of plant and equipment by paint
overspray, drips or spillage, providing appropriate protection where necessary. Stainless Steel and high
Nickel-Chromium alloy surface shall be protected against overspray or paint drips, particularly those
containing metallic pigments. If any such contamination does occur, the paint shall be immediately and
thoroughly removed by Painting Contractor.
Painting shall not take place under adverse weather conditions, in particular rain, fog, snow or when such
conditions are likely to occur before the paint has become dry. Panting shall not take place in the
following conditions:
► At temperatures below 5°C.


Page 20 of 29 0001
► When the relative humidity is greater than 85%.
► When the metal surface temperature is less than 3°C above the ambient dew point.
► Outside daylight hours on exterior locations.
► In the case of exterior locations, painting may also be suspended due to wind speed at the discretion
of Owner. In cases where moisture tolerant coatings are used, painting may proceed on damp
surfaces within the limits recommended by the manufacturer of the particular coating being
applied.
The method of application shall be selected to ensure that the paint is applied in a uniform manner to the
prescribed film thickness without any runs, sags or other blemishes. The pressure and volume of the
compressed air used for spray application shall meet the work requirement and be free from oil and water
contamination. Traps, separators and filters shall be emptied and cleaned regularly. Application of
primers on wire brushed surfaces shall be by brush.
Brush application of paint shall be in accordance with the following:
► Brushes shall be of a style and quality that will permit proper application of paint. Round or oval
brushes generally are considered most suitable for rivets, bolts, irregular surfaces and rough or
pitted steel. Wide flat brushes are suitable for large flat areas, but they should not have a width of
over 125mm.
► The brush shall not be dipped more than one-third of bristle length into the paint to avoid
overloading the bristles and filling the "heel" with paint. The brush shall be held at an angle of
about 45° to the work.
► The brushing shall be done so that a smooth coat, as mealy uniform in thickness as possible is
obtained. There should not be deep or detrimental brush marks.
► Excessive pressure shall not be applied to the brush. When the surface has been completely covered
with paint, the wet area shall be brushed cross-wise to ensure uniformity, and finally brushed
lightly to smooth out brush marks and laps. On large areas this final light brushing shall be in
vertical direction.
Air spray application shall be in accordance with the following:
► The equipment used shall be suitable for the intended purpose, shall be capable of properly
atomizing the paint to be applied and shall be equipped with suitable pressure regulators and
gauges. The air caps, nozzles and needles shall be those recommended by the manufacturer of the
equipment for the material being sprayed. The application equipment shall be kept in satisfactory
and perfectly clean condition to permit proper paint application.

Page 21 of 29 0001
► Moisture traps or separators shall be provided to remove oil and condensed water from the air.
These traps or separators shall be of adequate size and shall be drained periodically during
operations. The air from the spray gun impinging against the surface shall show no condensed
water or oil.
► The pressure on the material in the pot and of the air at the gun shall be adjusted for optimum
spraying effectiveness. The atomizing air pressure on the gun shall be high enough to atomize the
paint but not so high as to cause excessive fogging of paint, excessive evaporation of solvent, or
loss by overspray.
► Sprayed coating shall be cross-spray-applied to ensure uniform coverage free of runs and sags.
► The spray gun shall be held at right angles to work and make even passes. The passes shall be
overlapped by 50% on the previous one. The trigger of the gun should be released at the end of
each stroke.
► At the end of each day or upon completion of the job, the gun shall be cleaned thoroughly by
spraying the thinner through the gun and forcing it into container by holding the cloth over the air
cap. The air cap shall be removed and the fluid tip washed with thinner. The cap shall be immersed
in thinner and the holes cleaned with a matchstick but not with nail or wire. The spray gun shall
never be immersed in the thinner. The gun shall be lubricated at regular intervals.
Airless spray application shall be in accordance with the following:
► Since very high pressure is involved in this method, caution shall be exercised in the handling of
airless spray equipment; in particular, the spray gun shall never be pointed towards any part of
body whilst the equipment is in operation.
► Fluid tips shall be of proper orifice size and fan angle, and the fluid control gun of proper
construction, as recommended by the manufacturer of the material being sprayed and the
equipment being used. Fluid tips shall be of the safety type with shields to prevent penetration of
the skins by the high pressure stream of paint.
► For good results the gun shall be held at right angle to the work and about 300mm away and the
operator should start at the bottom and work upwards. The speed of the operating strokes should be
much faster than for normal spraying.
Successive passes of the gun shall overlap only slightly since the spray pattern is of uniform
thickness throughout its width. Paint must never be allowed to dry in the gun. Cleaning instructions
must be strictly followed.
► Airless paint spray equipment shall always be provided with an electric ground wire in the high
pressure line between the gun and the pumping equipment.

Page 22 of 29 0001
Further, the pumping equipment shall be suitably grounded to avoid the build-up of any
electrostatic charge on the gun. The manufacturer's instructions shall be followed properly in this
respect.
► Inorganic zinc rich paints shall be applied by airless spray method.
To ensure that the minimum thickness is achieved on all angles, corners, bulkheads, welds, etc., such
edges shall be stripe painted separately before applying the main system. Holding primers shall only be
permitted where they are obtained from the same manufacturing source as the main priming coats, and
where the manufacturer is able to provide a full guarantee that satisfactory intercoat adhesion will occur.
No coating shall be put on edges prepared for field welds or within six inches of these edges.
Where further painting is to be carried out, Zinc Silicate primers shall be sealed with a tie coat as soon as
practical after complete curing has taken place, to avoid salt or chemical contamination and to seal the
porous nature of the primer. The tie coat shall be selected to ensure sound adhesion to the Zinc Silicate
primer and be compatible with the finishing coat process.
Overspray and dry spray of inorganic Zinc Silicate primers shall be removed prior to application of
subsequent tie coats or top coats.
In all instances where two or more coats of the same paint are specified, such coatings shall be of
contrasting colors so that each stage of the work can be readily identified and film thickness determined
accordingly.
Intervals between coats shall comply with manufacturer's recommendations and should generally be kept
to the absolute minimum in order to prevent contamination between coats. Where contamination occurs
between coats, this shall be completely removed, generally by washing with a suitable detergent solution
and rinsing with clean fresh water.
All points of damage to paintwork incurred at any stage of the work, including shop welding operations,
shall be re-prepared by blast cleaning to the original standard and recoating with the specified priming
coat to restore the film thickness. In all such instances preparation shall extend 25 mm into the sound
paintwork and a further 25mm of sound paintwork shall be lightly blasted to etch the surface. Repainting
shall then cover the prepared surface and the etched paintwork. Where blast cleaning cannot be carried
out, surface preparation of points of damage by scraping and power wire brushing is acceptable provided
specific approval is given by Owner. In such instances, modification of the originally specified primer
may be necessary to suit the changed method of surface protection.
Preparation of weld margins shall be preceded by the removal of masking tape where fitted and shall
involve the removal of all flux, welding spatter and other foreign matter. Where blast cleaning is used,
this may be by means of portable vacuum blast apparatus. Where power wire brushing is used, excessive
cleaning to the extent this is liable to produce a polished surface shall be avoided.
Where touching up prior to top coating of Zinc based primers involved, this shall be preceded by
thorough cleaning with solvent or an emulsion type cleaner to remove all oil and grease. This shall be

Page 23 of 29 0001
followed by thoroughly hosing down with clean potable water which in the case of surfaces that have not
been tie coated shall be carried out in conjunction with manual scrubbing with stiff brushes in order to
remove all surface dirt and other contaminants, Zinc corrosion products (white rust), etc.
After the preparation as described in specification, the surfaces shall be allowed to thoroughly dry out and
shall be subjected to a thorough inspection to establish effectiveness of the cleaning operations.
► Drying Painted Surfaces:
An additional coat of paint shall not be applied until the previous coat is dry.
Read Manufacturer‘s instructions for drying times with respect to ambient temperature and humidity.
Paint shall not be dried under conditions that may cause wrinkling, blistering, pore formation or other
injurious defects.
No drier shall be added to paint.
Paint shall be protected from rain, condensation, snow or freezing until it is completely dry( refer to
Manufacturer’s technical data sheet).
3.5. PREPARATION OF SHOP PRIMED SURFACES FOR OVERCOATING

Any primed surface which has been exposed for more than a few days will have become contaminated
and should be cleaned down with fresh water and allowed to dry before over coating.
Primed and painted surfaces which have been exposed to marine conditions, including shipment overseas,
will be contaminated with salt and should be lightly wire brushed, then washed with fresh water, before
over coating.
Although Zinc rich primers are very effective in preventing rusting, extended exposure develops a surface
contaminated of Zinc corrosion products which can impair the adhesion of subsequent coats. Zinc rich
primers, both organic and inorganic which have been exposed long enough to develop white surface
staining, should be prepared for over coating by one of the following methods:
► Light blast cleaning and dust removal.
► Wire brushing, followed by water washing.
► Scrubbing with fresh water, using bristle brushes.
3.6. PAINT SYSTEM

Paint system applicable shall be in accordance with Table 2, Paint Schedule.
3.7. PAINT COLOR SCHEDULE

Paint Color Schedule shall be in accordance with Table 3.

equipment that are in service. In this case surface cleaning shall be performed by water
blasting with fresh water.
Sand blasting shall be done only if and when it has first been determined that the atmosphere is gas free.
► Adherence Check:
Paint adherence shall be checked as per ASTM method D 3359. Method A (X-cut) shall be used for paint
film thicker 125 microns, Method B (lattice pattern) shall be used for paint films up to 125 microns.
Test Method A: An X-cut is made in the film to the substrate; pressure-sensitive tape is applied over the
cut and then removed. Acceptable rating is 5A (No peeling or removed) or 4A (Trace peeling or removed
along incisions)
Test Method B: A lattice pattern with either six or eleven cut in each direction(cross cut) is made in the
film to the substrate, pressure-sensitive tape is applied over the lattice and then removed, and adhesion is
evaluated by comparison with descriptions and illustration. Spacing between the cut lines shall be 1 mm

Page 27 of 29 0001
for film thicknesses up to 50 microns and 2 mm for film thicknesses from 50 to 125 microns. Acceptable
results are rate 5B (The edges of the cut are completely smooth, none of the squares of the lattice is
detached) or 4B (Small flakes of the coating are detached at intersections, less than 5% of the area is
affected. If the test is unsatisfactory, the entire surface shall be blast cleaned and repainted. Recoating
after this destructive test is at the Applicator’s expense.
3.10. INSPECTION
Painting Contractor shall advise client before commencing specific paint applications.
Owner shall have the right to inspect the paintwork at all stages and to reject any and all tools,
instruments, materials, staging or equipment or work, which do not conform to the specification.
