3.0 DESIGN
Selection of Paint system shall be the final step of the decisional analysis carried out on the basis
of the design data to be considered for involved external surface; such as the material of
construction, operating temperature regime, exposure to the environment, the presence of thermal
insulation, the presence of fireproofing material, etc.
During the design and the construction of metallic components, the basic criteria listed in standard
ISO 12944-3 shall be taken into due consideration.
The construction should be designed in such a way that it will not interfere with the abrasive blasting
or paint application according to this Specification.
Welding shots drops, and spatters, pores in the weld seams, lamination defects, edges, flame cuts,
fragments, and dents or any other foreign object not removed during construction shall be
considered imperfections and therefore shall be removed before surface preparation.
The steel imperfections detected before, during or after surface preparation shall be removed with
suitable power tools according to the requirements of standard ISO 8501-3 as follows:
Grade P3: For all surfaces intended to be permanently or intermittently immersed or
buried. Edges from flame or mechanical knife cutting shall be rounded to a
minimum radius of 2 mm. Spot and discontinue welds shall be not permitted on
these surfaces.
Grade P2: For all surfaces exposed to marine and industrial environment. Edges from flame
or mechanical knife cutting shall be adequately rounded by three pass grinding.
Spot and discontinue welds shall be not permitted on these surfaces.
Grade P1: For all other surfaces not exposed to aggressive environment and atmosphere.
As far as possible, contact of different metals shall be avoided. In case, due to the unavoidable
design requirements, the contact cannot be avoided, a suitable insulating material (i.e., Teflon or
similar) shall be installed between the different metals. This includes pipes and related supports,
bolts, clips, etc. installed in permanent or intermittent immersed areas and on external areas.
In case of welded assembly or direct coupling made of dissimilar metals with different nobility the
following methods are recommended to reduce and prevent Galvanic Corrosion:
1) Electrically Insulate two materials from each other. If they are not in electrical contact, no
galvanic couple will develop. This can be achieved by using non-conductive materials
between metals of different electro-potential and/or
2) The prevention of contact with an electrolyte can be done by coating the different metals
joined with an impermeable protective layer (on the whole surface) or
3) If it is not possible to coat both materials, the coating should be applied to the material
with the higher electrode potential. In such case, a Minimum of 50 mm coating overlap
from the noble material onto the less noble adjoining substrate is required to provide a
desirable separation (i.e., a coating system for SS substrate shall be extended a
minimum of 50mm over connected CS substrate). If the coating would be applied only
on the more active material, there will be a large cathodic area if the coating is damaged
and for the exposed, very small anodic area, the corrosion rate will be correspondingly
high.
Stainless steel structures and components shall be carefully inspected before their installation
and before any surface preparation.
Any damages noticed on the structures and components shall be immediately notified by the
Supplier to the Contractor, which shall provide instructions for repairs or disposal of the damaged
structures and components.

In particular, handling shall be carried out with particular care and precautions shall be
implemented to avoid ferrous contamination of the stainless-steel structures and components.
Furthermore, the handling shall be accomplished using suitable equipment to avoid damages
and contaminations of the surfaces.
The surface preparation of stainless steel and special alloys shall be performed when these
surfaces must be coated. In this case, abrasive blasting will be executed with the only purpose
to rough the metallic surface according to the requirements of the provided paint system.
In no case, steel-grit and/or shot material shall be used for abrasive blast cleaning of stainless
steel and special alloys. The only use of non-metallic abrasive is mandatory to perform abrasive
blast cleaning on stainless steel.
Use of mild-steel brushes, or brushes previously used on carbon-steel or other ferrous/less

noble, such as zinc or copper alloy material for brushing of stainless-steel surfaces is not
allowed.
There is a possibility that austenitic stainless steels (300 series) and nickel alloys, such as
Incoloy 800 and Inconel 625, may suffer zinc embrittlement when exposed to molten zinc at
temperatures in excess of 700°C. For these alloys, direct contact with zinc should be avoided.
The following should be taken into consideration at the design stage to protect the above
materials and their welds from zinc contamination:
• Bolts and nuts, in contact with austenitic stainless steel or high Ni alloys, shall not be
galvanized, nor primed with zinc rich primers.
• Austenitic stainless steel and nickel alloy equipment and piping shall be suitably protected
or located such that molten zinc from adjacent galvanized structures will not drip onto them
during field welding operations or in the unlikely event of a fire.
• Insulation weatherproofing on or in the vicinity of austenitic stainless steel or nickel alloy
equipment and piping shall not be fabricated from galvanized sheet.
• Galvanized or zinc coated components shall not be welded to austenitic stainless steel or
nickel alloy equipment or piping paints and primers containing metallic zinc shall not be used
on stainless steel or nickel alloy substrates.
3.1 General Requirements

Applicator shall provide all methods, means, materials, and quality assurance necessary to perform
the surface preparation, application of primer, intermediate, and finish coating in accordance with
The Society for Protective Coatings, SSPC PA1, PA2, PA3 and per Paint Manufacturer’s instructions
and requirements. This includes all storage, handling, mixing, applying, curing, testing, repairs, and
disposal of all associated waste.
Paint systems for different items, either insulated or not insulated, different operating temperatures,
and carbon steel or stainless steel are listed in APPENDIX 2 and APPENDIX 3. These tables define
the requirements for surface preparation and the numbers of coats required with DFT range.
APPENDIX 1 identifies different manufacturers’ products for generic types of paints. APPENDIX 4
specifies finish color requirements. APPENDIX 5 specifies the Test Items normally required during
the protective coating works.
All carbon steel surfaces exposed to view in the assembled condition including uninsulated surfaces
of insulated items (such as piping, equipment, etc.) shall be finish coated to paint system 1, 2, 3 or
4 as required by maximum operating temperature.
Cementitious fireproofed surfaces shall be treated the same as insulated surfaces in regard to
painting per this specification and shall be painted per paint system 5. Intumescent, ablative, or

subliming fireproofed surfaces require PFP material manufacturer approved primers and shall be
painted in accordance per paint system 13, Reference to MZ-000-CCX-MC-SPC-00008 shall be
made.
Carbon Steel Lines and equipment receiving partial insulation or metal cages for personnel
protection purpose shall be treated as uninsulated items for selection of paint and shall be painted
per paint system 1, 2, 3, or 4 as required by maximum operating temperature.
For heat exchangers, the higher operating temperature of inlet and outlet temperature shall be used
to select the paint system.
3.2 Standard Production Items

Items such as pumps, motors, compressors, switchgear, control panels, control valves, and relief
valves including actuators shall be coated with manufacturer’s 3-coat system as a minimum, as long
as the following criteria are satisfied:
a) The site shall be considered C5 category as per ISO 12944-2. Paint system should be

coating system. Initial repairs shall be carried out if failures occur during inspection and testing per
Inspection and Testing requirement.
Surface damage to coated surfaces caused by welding or cutting shall be avoided by protection of
adjacent areas with non-flammable cloth. In addition, the coating around any heat-affected area
shall be removed 150 mm past the affected area to sound coating surface and feathered edges.
The affected areas include areas of discoloration.
Damaged areas shall be cleaned by abrasive blasting or power tool cleaning as required by the
original grade of cleaning for the coating system.
The coating around the damaged area shall be feathered using sand-papering or rotary flap-discs.
The re-cleaning shall be extended, not less than 50mm, to undamaged surrounding surfaces in
order to assure film continuity. The complete specified paint system shall then be applied on the
cleaned area.
10.1.1 Small Dimension Damage

Any damaged areas less than 200x200mm shall be cleaned by power tooling to SSPC-SP11 and
coated with the original paint system. Surface preparation shall be extended not less than 50mm to
the surrounding sound coating and the edges, properly feathered.

10.1.2 Medium Dimension Damage

Any damaged areas less than 1 m2 shall be cleaned by abrasive blasting according to degree of
cleanliness required for the parent paint system then coated with the original specified paint system,
Surface preparation shall be extended not less than 50mm to the surrounding sound coating and
the edges properly feathered. (medium dimension damage).
10.1.3 Extensive Damage

The damaged areas shall be considered extensive in the following instances, in such circumstances
the complete areas shall be re-blasted and re-coated as originally provided by the specification:
1. When the surface affected by damages is greater than 1 m2
2. when the extension of the damages of small and/or medium dimension, is greater than 5%
scattered or greater than 10% localized of the total coated area.
Where corrosion is present, the area shall be initially power tool cleaned to remove the corrosion
prior to surface preparation by approved surface preparation methods (i.e. blast cleaning) and
coating reapplication according to the relevant requirements given in this document.
All areas with inadequate coating thickness shall be thoroughly cleaned, if necessary, abraded and
additional compatible coat(s) applied until they meet the specified thickness. Additional coat(s) shall
not be visible on the final (finish) coating and on adjoining areas.
For steel that has shop primer only, after erection and/or installation, but before top-coating, items
previously primed shall be examined for damage and for un-primed areas.
All oil and grease shall first be removed in accordance with SSPC-SP 1. Following solvent cleaning,
all loose dirt, chalk, and soluble salts or other contaminants shall be removed by high-pressure water
wash or other Purchaser approved techniques. Un-primed and damaged areas shall be power tool
cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP 11 and recoated prior to application of all finish coat(s)
required for the complete system.
IO Zinc primer shall be touched-up with epoxy zinc rich primer such as for operative temperature up
to 200°F (93°C); above 200°F operating temperature, use silicone zinc pigmented primer paint. If IO
Zinc primer is touched-up once still not over-coated with modified silicone or aluminium silicone
topcoat, touch ups can also be made with High Build Inorganic Copolymer Paint Compatible with
modified silicone or aluminium silicone topcoat. Compatibility with regards to modified silicone or
aluminium silicone top-coating shall be declared in writing by the HB inorganic copolymer coating
manufacturer.
Hot dipped galvanizing shall be repaired using two coats of a Zinc Rich Epoxy coating having zinc
dust not less than 80% zinc (by mass) in dry film, and in any case in accordance with the methods
provided by galvanizer, Refence to MZ-000-CCX-MC-SPC-00017 shall be made for the specific
requirements.
10.2 Completion of Zinc ethyl-silicate primed surfaces

Exposed areas of bare steel that were originally primed with inorganic zinc rich primer shall, after
cleaning and preparation, be primed with one coat of zinc rich epoxy primer. The undercoat and
finish shall be in accordance with the original coating schedule.
10.3 Partially Coated Items

Items requiring significant handling during installation, such as large valves, may be supplied part
coated, that is without the finishing coat, at the Contractor’s discretion. In this case any damage to
the factory coatings shall be made good at site before applying the final coat. On no account shall

items be supplied in zinc rich primer only, due to the formation of zinc salts, the difficulties associated
with their removal and their effect upon the adhesion of any further coats of paint applied
subsequently.
11.0 HANDLING OF COATED ITEMS

Coated items shall not be handled or moved until all coatings have been dried and cured per coating
manufacturer’s instructions.
Coated items shall be protected on non-abrasive supports during storage.
Care shall be taken to avoid damage to coating systems during loading, transport, unloading and
storage. All slings, ropes and chains shall be rubber sheathed or otherwise suitably protected.
Synthetic belt slings are preferred. Adequate timbers blocking shall be provided when stacking
coated items, and no items shall be stacked directly on the ground. Small pieces of equipment shall
be packaged (or crated) to avoid coating damages.
Coated Surfaces shall be protected from damage during lifting or handling, the following are
applicable also for field works:
a. All shop coated piping equipment and steel shall be handled using wide belt slings, web
belts, and wide padded skids or other approved lifting methods to prevent damage to the
coating.
b. Proper dunnage during transport, storage and job site erection shall be used to minimize
damage to the coating. Coated steel shall not be stored directly on the ground.

DFT Acceptance Level

While individual DFT gage readings that are unusually high or low (and cannot be repeated
consistently) can be discarded, there are limitations on the thickness values representing the spot
measurements (the average of minimum three gage readings). For the purpose of final acceptance
of the total dry film thickness, the cumulative thickness of all coating layers in each area must be no
less than the cumulative minimum specified thickness and no greater than the cumulative maximum
specified thickness.

APPENDIX 4 FINAL COAT COLORS

In this appendix, the basic finish color schedule for the production facility in the scope of the project
is given. Any deviation from this Appendix and table shall be agreed with Purchaser and Client,
through a formal deviation request.
Final coat color of items not clearly indicated into the Table below shall be stipulated among Vendor
and Contractor before the Purchase Order award.
Care must be ensured in the appropriate selection during design to allow a seamless supply and
avoid contrasting requirement in the procurement and uneven and confusing visive environment
once the items are in place. Finish colors here specified are intended applicable to those coating
systems which the finish coat can be produced with the applicable RAL Designation (i.e., System
1/1A, System 11…); different systems are acceptable in “off-white”, “eggshell” or “light gray” as per
standard manufacturer color (i.e., System 5, System 10…). Systems for high temperature with a
color like the specified “White Aluminum” are acceptable, and in any case per paint manufacturer’s
standard aluminum color (i.e., System 2/3, System 7, System 16/17…) suitable for the operating
conditions, production differences are accepted. The colors of the coatings, related to topcoats only,
shall allow the visibility of the coated pipe or component, or it shall satisfy aesthetic and
homogeneousness requirements. RAL Designation does not apply to finish coat of either paint
systems to be applied to surfaces for under insulation service and surfaces to be buried in contact
with soil. The color definition refers to the RAL 840 HR Deutschen Normen Auschuss Standard.
