of this procedure.
PAINTING OF TANKS
The Subcontractor shall ensure that flash rusting has not occurred prior to applying the coating material.
Should flash rusting be present, the area shall be re-cleaned.
Coating shall be applied only when the surfaces to be coated are clean and dry. The temperature or the
substrate shall be a minimum of 5ºF/3ºC above the dew point during coating application and curing
shall be a minimum of 50ºF/10ºC and a maximum of 90ºF/32ºC. The relative humidity during coating
application shall not exceed 80 percent unless recommended otherwise by the paint Manufacturer.
The coatings shall be thoroughly mixed until they are smooth and free from lumps, and then strained
through a suitably sized screen. Mixed material shall be agitated to keep the solids in suspension during
application.
The coating shall be applied in two or more uniform coats to obtain a dry film thickness (DFT) given in
the Contract specification. Coating shall be applied by brush, spray or roller as long as the application is
in accordance with the coating Manufacturer’s latest published instructions and is suitable for the size
and configuration of the items being coated. Number of the coatings and thickness will be according to
Contract specification.
Unless otherwise specified, the following portions shall not be painted at the shop:
• Parts to be welded at site. Packaging tapes shall be used for masking of these areas during
painting,
• Flange faces,
• Inside surface of piping.
The minimum and maximum drying times between coats shall be in accordance with the coating
Manufacturer’s latest published data and shall be strictly observed.
All surfaces shall be checked as soon as possible to ensure correct coating thickness exist. If multiple
coats are required to achieve, the specified thickness and the time between coats exceeds the
Manufacturer’s recommended maximum drying time, the surface shall be abraded prior to applying an
additional coat.
Runs, sags, voids, drips, overspray, loss or adhesion, blistering, peeling, inadequate cure or rusting of
the substrate are not permitted. Where possible, defects shall be corrected as detected during application
of the coating.
Spray equipment, brushes and rollers shall be cleaned using only Manufacturer recommended solvents.
Coating operations shall be performed in such a manner as to minimize the need to repair finished
coatings. Coating application shall begin within two (2) hours when steel surfaces are prepared,
inspected and before surface deterioration occurs. Prepared surfaces shall be dry, free of rust, mill scale,
dust, oil, grease or other visible contamination. Surfaces which show "rust-bloom" or do not meet
specified surface preparation standard shall be re-blasted.
Coatings shall not be applied within 25mm of unprepared surfaces or 100mm from future field welds.
Surfaces adjacent to current coating application and sensitive areas (i.e., sight glasses, breathers,
equipment air intakes, instruments) shall be masked or otherwise protected against overspray. Flanges
shall be coated with first and second coat before assembly. After assembly in the piping system, the
flange plus exposed surfaces of the studs, nuts and flange protector (if present) shall receive the second
and remaining coats.
Coatings shall not be applied:
PAINTING OF TANKS
• When the surfaces to be coated are wet or when other detrimental conditions exist (e.g., high
winds or airborne dust).
• When surface temperature, relative humidity, or dew point temperature are outside the
Manufacturer’s recommendations.
Adequate ventilation and air flow shall be provided to allow removal of solvents and ensure proper
cure. Venting shall continue until full cure is achieved and no solvent odor is present.
The substrate shall be free of dust, dry spray, oil, entrapped grit, grease and other contaminants
before application of succeeding coat. Inorganic zinc and epoxy coatings shall be tested for proper
curing before being over coated. Inorganic zinc primers contaminated with oil or grease shall be
blasted to bare steel.
Coats shall be allowed to dry enough prior to application of the succeeding coat. The time limitations
of recoat intervals recommended by the Manufacturer shall be observed, having due regard for
variations due to temperature or weather conditions. Coats shall be applied soon enough to reduce
inter coat contamination and to assure proper adhesion between successive coats. Coatings to be
over-coated offshore shall be solvent-cleaned per SSPC-SP-1 and fresh water washed and completely
dry prior to coating application.
Galvanized surfaces, martensitic and corrosion resistant alloys shall be solvent cleaned per SSPC-SP-
1. Following solvent cleaning, galvanized surfaces shall be brush blasted with a fine abrasive to
generate less than 25micron surface profile prior to over coating.
The coating application procedure shall be shown to be acceptable by coating a suitable test area
(approximately 1m2) for each coating system. The test area shall be fully coated with all coats of the
coating system. The test application shall be witnessed by Quality Control Inspector to verify the
acceptability of the procedure. The painted test area shall be maintained for the duration of the
project as a reference. The same procedures and types of equipment used during the test shall be used
for the actual coating application.
Application of materials shall be in accordance with the principles of good workmanship described in
SSPC-PA-1. Spray guns shall be held perpendicular to the surface and at a distance required to
deposit a continuous wet layer of coating. Arcing of the gun shall not be permitted. The

rust) shall be removed in accordance with the paint Manufacturer's instructions prior to over coating.
10.8. Handling and Coated Parts/Components
To minimize the risk of damage, no lifting, transportation, erection or fabrication operations shall be
done before the paint has been fully dried and/or cured. Non-metallic, e.g., canvas, or nylon slings shall
be used for lifting, and wooden blocks shall be applied during transportation.
10.9. Repair of Damaged Area
If the painted areas are damaged while transportation or loading of the material, then repairing or touch
- up will be done according to procedures. Defects exposed during surface preparation, painting
application or final inspection shall be repaired as per the approved procedure. Masking or marking
such defects for later attention may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Repair operations shall comply
with the same requirements as for the work.
The disposition of areas not meeting the required quality shall be as follows:
• Additional inspections shall be performed as required to define the limits of the defective area.
• Defective areas shall be repaired in accordance with a Manufacturer approved repair procedure.
PAINTING OF TANKS
• The repaired area shall be 100% re-inspected.

Edges of existing coatings around repairs shall be firmly adherent and shall be "feathered".
Small areas of coatings in non-immersion areas, which require repair, may be abraded to bare steel with
sandpaper or sanding disks. All repairs in immersion areas shall be repaired by abrasive blasting, unless
otherwise approved by the Client. Coatings, excluding zinc rich coatings, which have to be overcoated
and which have become contaminated with oil, grease or other foreign material shall be cleaned with
detergent cleaners and then fresh water rinsed. Inorganic and organic zincs coating, which have become
contaminated shall be cleaned and then blasted off. The repair technique for coatings with dry film
thicknesses below that specified shall depend upon the state of cure of the coating.
Coatings that have exceeded the minimum recoat interval and have not exceeded the maximum recoat
interval may be cleaned, as required, and overcoated with the same material. Coatings that have
exceeded the maximum recoat interval shall be repaired using approved procedures and
recommendations of the Manufacturer. Inorganic zinc coatings with DFT above or below (if curing is
complete) that specified shall be removed by blasting. Damage to an inorganic zinc coating shall be
repaired by localized blasting and application of an organic zinc coating. Inorganic zinc silicate should
never be over coated with inorganic zinc. When welding occurs after coating application, the coating
shall be removed 100 mm past the edge of the heat affected coating. Submerged or partially submerged
coating systems, which are damaged during shipment offshore, shall be repaired using coating in
appropriate service category, if required. Applied repair coating shall be allowed to cure beyond the
minimum period prior to submergence.
10.10. Touch – Up / Repair Procedures for Minor Damages
Recommended repair procedure can be found below;

Procedure,
1. Surface should be inspected for oil and hydrocarbon contamination and in case of presence
of oil or derivatives, surface should be degreased with alkaline detergents in compliance with ISO
12944-4. Agitate the surface to activate the cleaner and before it dries, wash the treated area by Low
Pressure Water Cleaning (LPWC, NACE No.5/SSPC SP-12, around 250-300 bar) using fresh water to
minimum Wa1 (ISO 8501-4). All salt, dust, weld smoke, penetrant and other water-soluble impurities-
contaminants to be on repair areas should be completely removed as well before the surface preparation
according to ISO12944-4.
2. Areas of existing coat which are adjacent to the damages should be examined until reaching strictly
adhering paint in order to ensure coating film’s soundness and define damaged area.
3. Damages exposed to bare steel;
Areas to be painted should be prepared to PSa 2 ½ ISO 8501-2 with 50 mic surfaces profile. Local
blasting equipment’s such as mini-blast can be utilized. In case of any restriction for abrasive blasting
works, areas to be painted should be prepared alternatively to PSt3 ISO 8501-2 with min. 25 mic
surface profile (or in accordance to SSPC SP-11) as minimum requirement. Suitable methods are bristle
blaster, disc grinding, hand sanding, needle gun etc. Ensure the surface is free from mill scale, residual
corrosion, failed coating and is suitable for painting. Do not use power wire brushing due to
the risk of polishing the surface. The surface should appear rough and mat.

4. Edges of the existing coatings (old coats) should be feathered. Abrade intact coatings around
the damaged areas to ensure a mat, rough surface profile, suitable for over coating. Consecutive layers
of coating shall be feathered to expose each layer and new coating shall always overlap to an abraded
existing layer.

5. Damages exposed to bare steel: Having finished the recommended surface preparation, primer can be
applied to required DFT. The other specified coats can be followed in accordance with overcoating
intervals.
Damages to the coatings: Having finished the recommended surface preparation, the coating may be
over coated with required coat/coats.
6. Minor TU repair applications can be carried out using brushes and rollers. For damages exposed to
bare steel, brush is recommended on first coat application due to required penetration.

General Statements
Always observe the minimum and maximum over coating intervals. If the maximum over coating
interval is exceeded the surface should be carefully roughened in order to ensure good inter coat
adhesion.
There may be tone / shade differences on TU areas.
In case partial mixing requires during repair - T.U applications, mixing ratios stated in the product’s
TDS&AG forms shall always be followed. Measurement cups and/or rubbers should be utilized when
the partial mix is carried out. However, Jotun recommends to apply full set mixing in order to prevent
risk of faulty mixture.
Minor TU repair applications can be carried out using brushes and rollers. While using brushes and
rollers more coats will be required in order to achieve specified DFT. For damages exposed to bare
steel, brush is recommended on first coat application due to required penetration

frequency:
Table 1- Frequency of Holiday Testing
In areas where less than 100% of the coating surface is tested, the holiday testing shall be concentrated
on edges, corners, and weld seams. Coatings exceeding a density of 5 holidays in the tested area shall
be subject to the progressive requirements. All holidays shall be repaired.
11.5.2. Adhesion Tests
Adhesion tests shall be performed on finished coatings by making and “x” cut into the coating film to
the substrate and by lifting the coating with a knife. If the failure mode is cohesive (within the coating
material), the adhesion to steel is considered to be acceptable. If the failure mode is adhesive (steel
coating interface) or interlayer delamination is considered to be poor and not acceptable and shall be
rejected.
Alternate adhesion test, such as pull-off test may be used.

The quality of adhesion between the coating system and the steel substrate shall be measured using
adhesion tester in accordance with ISO 4624. The minimum value of pull off strength for external
