    BRITISH GAS PA 10 REFERS TO THE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR - NEW AND MAINTENANCE PAINTING AT WORKS AND SITE FOR ABOVE GROUND PIPELINE AND PLANT INSTALLATIONS The new PA 10 (Aug 1995) supercedes the previous PA 10 document which came into force in June 1987. The new PA 10 is arranged in three sections. 1. Preliminary information - Scope References Definitions Miscellaneous Mandatory requirements ‘Non mandatory requirements 2. General painting information. 3. Information for specific painting application (S.P:A.) The specification covers all types of ferrous and non ferrous metal engineering components. but is not Suitable for use with the following: Below ground (buried) Offshore installations Internal coating of pipes Stove enamel coatings Beye Waugh Technical & Education Services 1995 INDUCTION PERIOD POT LIFE we The length of time a paint is required to stand after mixing and before application. This time allows air bubbles to escape and or chemical reactions to take place and is specified by the paint manufacturer. The length of time (following induction) that a paint remains in an applyable condition according to the manufacturers instructions.

Metal surfaces that will reach a temperature in excess of 198°C when in use. ag No deviation from the PA 10 specification will be permitted unless in writing from the engineer. May be requested in order to demonstrate that the selected system is capable of meeting its requirements. This refers to the method and standard or preparation, equipment to be used, paint specified, correct number of coats and on the same substrate. Scaffolding must be left in position or ladders where applicable made available unt dhe fll system has been applied and approved. Sear roLD ING 1s a censi HAD ALUMS AFTER BAD Sheeting of a non flammable nature must be employed to protect areas not being prepared or painted from contamination, (in particular tarpaulins must not be used). 20 EVERY Pony WERTHER * SAFETY ON SITE Personnel shall comply with all relevant regulations when cleaning, painting and disposal procedures are being carried out. , All site work is normally subject to a permit to work system. This shall be complied with at all times and no work shall take place until a permit to work or form of authority has been issued. The engineer shall interpret any doubt over hazardous areas, working areas, permits to work or forms of authority. The contractor shall aquaint himself with safety and security restrictions on site. Any accident on site shall be notified to the engineer and entered in the installations accident record book. This does not relieve the contractor of responsibilities in this respect. ~The method of work and equipment used by the contractor may be inspected at any time without prior notice. No inspection shall relieve the contractor of any responsibility under the Factories Act 1961. ‘A representative shall be nominated by the contractor to act on his behalf. His duties shall include. Obtaining permits to work or forms of authority (appropriate). Extent of work undertaken (usually daily), Precautions required. Keeping to the agreed programme. Ideally two days notice shall be given in obtaining permits to work or forms of authority. This to allow proper arrangements to be made. If the contract is to last for more than six weeks the contractor must notify the factory inspector. All equipment whether electrically or pneumatically operated shall be earthed. No smoking regulations shall be observed, any person disregarding this may be removed from site 11 Fire or flames shall not be used to dispose of rubbish or to clean out paint kettles. Waugh Techaical & Education Services 1995 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION All waste materials resulting from surface preparation and painting operations shall be properly disposed of in accordance with the Environmental Protection ‘Act - E.P.A. - (Duty of Care). When surface preparation and painting operations are carried out in the vicinity of rivers, lakes or other water courses, special precautions may be necessary to prevent the possibility of pollution. Care should be taken to ensure operations are carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Water Resources Act. ‘Wauch Technical & Education Services 1995 MANUAL AND MECHANICAL METHODS OF PREPARATION MANUAL AND MECHANICAL METHODS OF These methods are used when blast cleaning is considered unsuitable, and are undertaken with the approval of the engineer. They represent a lower standard of preparation, therefore care must be taken to ensure that, the agreed standard is reached (ST2, ST3). The danger always exists of a reduced life expectancy of the paint system where inferior preparation has taken place. Ferrous impact tools shall not normally be used, where scrapers are used wire brushing fo an agreed standard will follow, and the scrapers must be of the type having a carbide tip. NEEDLE GUNNING The guns shall have needles of a small cross section, the profile created must not exceed 100 jim, no sharp edged craters must be left and all rogue peaks must be removed. ABRASIVE DISCS May be permitted in certain circumstances. Approval for their use must be sought and particular care must be taken on pressure containing parts not to create notches. GRINDING Shall only be carried out under the direct supervision of the engineer. ‘Waugh Technical & Edugation Services 1995 11 SURFACE PREPARATION OF WELD AREAS 1. All weld areas including primed surfaces damaged by heat shall be blast 7 cleaned to the required standard immediately prior to painting. All weld flux and spatter shall be removed prior to preparation and painting, Any painted areas next to the weld area shall be suitably protected from any other operation. ‘Waugh Technical & Education Services 1995 ee oS THE SELECTION OF PAINT SYSTEMS Each painting job is unique, therefore paint systems must be carefully chosen | for each individual job, and a correct and manageable specification drawn up to meet its requirements. For new painting work the specification for any particular system chosen \ should consider cost as important. % For maintenance painting special treatments may be required in order to Produce compatibility between existing and new systems. (Tie coat, abrading etc) Considerations for the above as follows, ty _D_ Appropriate and cost effective methods of surface preparation. 2) Appropriate cost effective paint system to meet the required service life. ‘ tawintelon leebnt When repainting or maintaining present systems, it should be determined, 5 1) What the existing paint system is. 2) The extent of breakdown and corrosion. 3) The in service environmental conditions. 4) The nature and extent of any surface contamination. VARIANTS A contractor may propose variants to PA 10 only where the text states that TransCo would consider these. Waueh Technical & Education Services 1995 The measurement of both wet and dry film thickness shall be carried out with each separate coat. The D.F.T. is the reading which determines the final correctness of the application, except in the case of M.LO. and subsequent coats covering M.1.0. where a W.F.T. comb gauge is used. Information for the W.F.T. required to achieve the D.F.T. as specified by the manufacturer, is to be found in the manufacturers literature. | The W.F.T/D.F.T. differential is governed by the VS% contained within a paint.

Applies to new and maintenance painting for indoor use or short term protection of carbon steel surfaces operating below 100°C. NEW _PAINTING FOR INDOOR USE AND SHORT TERM PROTECTION Compliant materials normally based on drying oil, or water borne acrylic paints shall be specified If a decorative finish is required one coat of undercoat and one coat of finish shall be applied. The undercoat should be slightly complementary to the finish coat in colour. This complementation should allow the sprayer/painter to clearly see what parts he has completed and further should allow him to > spaly a sufficiency of material in order to eliminate grinning. MAINTENANCE OF THE ABOVE Damaged areas shall be prepared by wire brushing to BS 7079 05-59-00 standard ST3 as a minimum and spot primed, this followed by a coat of M.1.0.

NB. Heat resistant paints are normally pigmented with aluminium flake therefore a colour finish may not be possible. 150° TO 340°C aj oat wok co Thermally Sprayed Aluminium (T.S.A.) shall be applied in accordance with BS EN 22063 and/or BS 2569 Part 2. Where this is not practical due to operational restraints or because it is considered too high a standard of coating, consideration may be given to inorganic zine silicate or polysiloxane primers. N.B. Care must be taken not to overthickness inorganic zine silicate as this can lead to mud cracking. ABOVE 340°C Thermally sprayed aluminium T.S.A. is the preferred choice. “As above where not practical inorganic zinc silicate or polysiloxane primer can be considered. At these temperatures where T.S.A. or LZ.S. are used they should be sealed with a high temperature sealer., These are applied and cured to the manufacturers recommendations.

Applies to the painting of ferrous surfaces where condensation during painting cannot be prevented. A number of paint systems are available which are tolerant to damp surfaces but which are not usually used on wet surfaces. Further they shall not be used when ice is present or when the surface temperature is likely to be below 3°C. ‘Types of material modified satisfactorily for use on damp metal surfaces include, 1. Moisture curing polyurethanes 2. High solids multi-component epoxy paints NB The above paints are specially modified by the manufacturer to be moisture tolerant. Waugh Technical & Education Services 1995 27 SPECIFIC PAINTING APPLICATION S.P.A.5. MAINTENANCE PAINTING FOR LOW PRESSURE GASHOLDERS S.P.A.5. Detailed procedures for the planning, surface preparation, cleaning and painting of the external surfaces of low pressure water sealed gasholder. Waterless gasholders of the Wiggins, Hammond, Klonne and M.A.N. types and the above ground frame work and water tank associated with water sealed gasholders shall be painted in accordance with S.P.A.1. Damp surfaces such as tank bottom plates and gas mains in pits which extend into the gasholder foundation are covered by S.P.A.4. TENDER DOCUMENTS Shall clearly identify the following: Surfaces to be painted The method of surface preparation Painting systems to be applied Finished colours to BS 4800 Surfaces and items not to be painted Areas which need to be protected during preparation and painting PAINT SYSTEMS SELECTION CRITERIA Environmental in-service conditions Existing paint system Extent of paint breakdown and corrosion Method and extent of preparation Standard of cleanliness achievable Service life requirement eee NB Water-bome acrylics, compliant alkyds and moisure cured urethanes may be used satisfactorily in most cases. Waugh Technical & Education Services 1995 29 APPLICATION OF PAINT TO LOW PRESSURE. GASHOLDERS ARELICATION OF PAINT TO LOW PRESSURE GASHOLDERS When the surface has not been totally blast cleaned, or where areas of the Previous coating remain, the primer must be applied by brush. Succeeding coats can be applied by spray or brush. Application by roller is not recommended. Where there is exposed prepared metal, the primer D.F.T. must meet the manufacturers recommendations. This could be spot or overall surface priming. Spot priming should overlap existing coating by at least 100 mm. Stripe coating may be necessary to achieve D.F.T. at edges, rivets and weld areas. The manufacturers overcoating times shall be followed, although not more than seven days shall have elapsed before overcoating. The coating shall be allowed to dry for as long as possible and in any case at least two weeks prior to any operation of the gasholder. The finish coat on any one lift or on a single storey tank shall be of the same manufacturers batch number. Non slip paint made by mixing dry softwood coarse grade sawdust with the top coat paint should be applied as an extra coat to access areas such as walkways and stairs. A one metre band across the crown and around the inside of the crown perimeter shall also be applied. Where non drying paint has been removed and some final traces still remain a white spirit based primer rather than a water based primer shall-be applied. Water based paints require the movement of air to dry quickly, otherwise localised rust spotting will occur. This problem can be overcome by replacing the primer coat of the water based system with a quick drying solvent based primer. For surfaces which are predominantly immersed in water one coat of moisture tolerant epoxy shall be applied by brush to a minimum D.F.T. of 100 pm. (Measured by W.F.T.
