The phosphate coatings in this specification are used primatily 2s a means of mild corrosion protection. Ether zinc or manganese phosphate, atthe coater’s option, may be used I 2.0 GENERAI Phosphate costings are conversion coatings: the surface of the metal being costed reacts chemically with a dilute solution of phosphoric acid as well as other chemicals ta form an acherent, mildly protective layer of insoluble crystalline phosphate. This layer provides a physical barrier against moisture. It also provides an excellent, retentive base for rust preventative oils, This specification establishes the following classes of coatings: TABLE 1 Dash Numbers Dash No. Rev. Description 01 1 Zino/Manganese Phosphate Coating | 02 ot Zine/Manganese Phosphate Coating with Supplemental | Petroleum Base Rust Prevertative Treatment 8 R Obsolete Unless otherwise specified by Cameron Engineering, phosphate coating shall be done on fully heat treated I parts after all machining, forming, welding and weld stress relieving operations have been completed. 3.0 PROCESS: 3.1. Cleaning and Stress Relief 3.1.1 Parts to be coated shall be free of oil, grease, dirt, etc Cleaning may be done by vapor degreasing, emulsion cleaning, or alkaline cleaning in accordance with the latest revision of Steel Structures Painting Council SPC SP1, andior thermal degreasing Cleaned parts shall be ‘thoroughly rinsed in clean water to remove residual cleaning chemicals, 3.1.2 Parts with rust or scale shall be dry abrasive biast cleaned using sand or steel grt. Parts shall be free of ail, grease, dirt, etc, prior to blasting Abrasive blasting shall be controlled and performed using a grt size sufficiently fie to preserve the RMS surface finish roughness.

Phosphating shall be performed by immersion into a zine/manganese base phosphate bath 3.22 The bath concentration and temperature, and immersion time for the parts shall be such that the phosphate coating meets the following requirements. 4. The coating shall have a minimum weight of 1 1g/m? 2. The coating shall be evenly deposited, have @ uniform crystalline texture, and be gray to black in coior. 3.3 Water Rinse ‘Subsequent to phosphating and before parts have dried, the paris shall be thoroughly rinsed in clear, cold water. Rinsing may be done by immersion or by spraying. If immersion rinsing is used, a continuous overtlow shall be maintained by the addition of fresh water. Parts shall be immersed only 2s long as required to remove residual chemicals from the phosphate bath. The flow of rinse water shall be controlled 2s required to prevent its contamination to the extent that it becomes detrimental to the coating 3.4 Chromic Acid Rinse Immediately after the water rinse, all perts shall be treated in a chromic acid rinse. Note: Chromic acid rinsing is optional if the phosphate coated parts will be painted/coated or receive a supplemental oil treatment within 4 hours of being phosphated. 1, The final rinse shall be 150-200°F (65-83°C) hot chrornio acid or chromic-phosphate acid solution ‘approximately 300 grams chromic acid fiake in 1000 iters (L) water. 2. The final rinse shall be maintained at a pH of 2 to 4 by the addition of flake chromic acid or mixtures of chromic and phosphoric acids. 3. The final rinse shall be checked by a standard free and total acid titration or pH reading as often as is necessary to assure that the bath remains within the limits set at all times during which it is in operation. 4. All finses should be discarded whenever they become contaminated. The final rinse shall be checked at least weekly and shall be discarded when the total acid reading rises to more than 7 times the free acid reading, 5, Parts should remain in each rinse for a minimum of 60 seconds. 6. Following the chromic acid rinse, parts shall be thoroughly dried before application of a supplementary treatment, as apolicable. 3.5 Supplementary Treatment When specified by the applicable dash number, phosphated parts shall be impregnated with a rust preventative all. The weight of oll per untt area shall be such that the treated parts is capable of Undergoing a minimum of 24 hours exposure in a salt spray test in accordance with ASTM B117 with no evidence of rusting Original Date: 16 Oct 79 1 rope of CAIERON. sen of COOPER CAMERON CORPORATION.

Metal parts will not be put in service for a minimum of 6 days to allow hydrogen to diffuse out 4.0 QUALITY CONTROL: 44° Procedures Phosphate coating applicators shall have a written procedure detalling their coating process. As a minimum this procedute shall include 41.1 Acomplete description (manufacturer, catalog number, etc.) of the chemicals used for cleaning, phosphating, chromic acid rinse and any supplemental oil treatment, 41.2 A detailed cleaning procedure for parts prior to phosphating including methods, materials and ‘ecceptance criteria, 4.1.3 Instructions for phosphating and a detailed procedure for the contro! of phosphate bath parameters, This shall establish limits for the concentration of phosphating chemicals in the bath and limts for temperature The procedure shall descnbe how these parameters are monitored and recorded Control of the phosphating chemicals must provide for the determination of free acid, total aoid and ferrous iron content The frequency of testing for chemical content shall be determined by the applicator, but must be sufficiently frequent to assure adequate control so that it can be demonstrated that no lot of parts Is processed when the bath is not within the established limits. Analysis for free and total acid shall be made just prior to the processing of each lot or every two hours, whichever is less frequent. The ferrous iron content shall be analyzed just prior to the processing of each lot or weekiy, whichever is less frequent 4.4.4 Instructions for water rinsing subsequent to phosphating 41.5 Instructions for chtomie acid rinsing (if applicable) and detailed procedure for the control of the chromic acid rinse bath parameters and the immersion time for the parts, This shall establish limits for the concentration of chemicals in the bath and pH (or free and total acid contents). The procedure shall desoribe how these parameters ate monitored and recorded Frequency of testing shall be as often as required to insure that the bath remains within the applicable limits, but inno case less than once a week 441.6 A detailed description for supplemental oil treatment inoluding the type of oil and how it is applied. 41.7 A descrigtion of remedial action to be taken when the results of any test of bath chemicals is found to be outsie the specified range. 4.1.8 Inspections procedures detailing the testing performed, frequency and acceptance crteria Original Date: 16 Oct 79 1 rope of CAIERON. sen of COOPER CAMERON CORPORATION.
