1.2 The colors to be used on these NOV PCG Shaffer products shall be identified by
the RAL color numbering system.
1.3 Protective coatings shall be applied to all Shaffer products prior to shipment
unless otherwise stipulated by the customer in his purchase order.
1.4 Except for the following, all stainless steel surfaces will be left unpainted.

6.1 Preparation
6.1.2 Stripe Coating: For each coat, a stripe coat shall be applied by brush to all
welds, corners, behind angles, edges of beams, etc. and areas not fully
reachable by spray in order to obtain the specified coverage and
thickness. EXCEPTION: Inorganic zinc.
6.2.1 All sharp edges, fillets, corners and welds of structural parts shall be
rounded or smoothened by grinding prior to blast cleaning (minimum
radius = .080”). For design reasons, pressure controlling and containing
machined parts of the BOP, Riser, Valves and Control systems will not be
ground upon and shall remain as manufactured with radii provided by the
design process.
6.2.3 All parts are to be grit blasted to remove all scale, rust, corrosion and
foreign matter.
www.nov.com
NOV PCG Form EF-004 Rev 0
6.2.3.1 All grit blasted parts are to be blasted to near white metal
producing an anchor pattern of 2 to 3 mils in accordance with ISO
8503. The abrasive medium shall contain no more than 1.0 wt. %
crystalline silica as determined by SSPC-AB-Class A, Grade 3
and ISO-8504-2. The grit should be sharp and clean and free of
dust. The cleanliness of the blast cleaned surface shall be
referred to for each coating system per ISO 8501-1.
Note: Stainless steel shall also be isolated from carbon steel surfaces to
prevent cross contamination.
Note: Blast air must be free of oil, water, and other contaminants.
www.nov.com
NOV PCG Form EF-004 Rev 0
6.2.3.6 After blasting, remove all residual grit by blowing with dry
compressed air and/or brushing. Test cleanliness of the surfaces
in accordance with ISO 8502-3. Do not exceed a rating 2.
6.3 Application
6.3.1 General
6.3.1.2 For each coat, a stripe coat shall be applied by brush to all welds,
corners, behind angles, edges of beams, etc. and in areas not
fully reachable by spray in order to obtain the specified coverage
and thickness.
6.3.1.3 Stainless steel components will not be painted except for those
described in paragraph 1.4. If stainless steel is welded to carbon
steel,
WARNING: Zinc-Rich Epoxy and Inorganic Zinc primers shall not be used when
coating stainless steel, duplex or super duplex parts. The primer shall
be omitted from the paint system and the part coated with only the
intermediate and top coats.
www.nov.com
NOV PCG Form EF-004 Rev 0
6.3.2.4 Strain mixture into paint pot with 30 mesh screen to prevent
clogging of equipment.
6.3.2.6 Adjust spray equipment to apply an even wet coat with minimum
overspray.
6.3.2.9 If the primer coat is inorganic zinc, prior to the application of the
intermediate coat, a cure test shall be performed to ensure the
IOZ primer is sufficiently cured prior to top coating. This test shall
be performed in accordance with ASTM D4752, Standard Test
Method for Measuring MEK Resistance of Ethyl Silicate
(Inorganic) Zinc-Rich Primers by Solvent Rub (latest revision).
The minimum acceptance Resistance Rating per Table 1 shall be
a 4. There will be a slight burnished appearance in the rubbed
area and a slight amount of zinc may be on the cloth after 50
double rubs.
Note: When manufacturing and machine tolerances will not allow for all
three coats of paint on mating parts without inhibiting assembly of
those parts, then it is acceptable to apply the primer coat only
provided the primer coat is applied 4 – 5 mils DFT.
INSPECTION HOLD POINT: Primer coat application and DFT per coating
chart in Section 4.1.
6.3.3.1 Surface to be coated shall be dry, and free of dirt, grease or other
contamination prior to application of intermediate coat.
6.3.3.2 The intermediate coat must have a contrasting color to the top
coat specified to ensure good top coat coverage.
www.nov.com
NOV PCG Form EF-004 Rev 0
6.3.3.4 Resin and curing solutions are packaged separately. Stir each
component thoroughly and then combine total contents of each
can and mix until uniform.
6.3.3.5 Apply a mist coat and allow mist coat to stand for 1 minute. Then
apply one or two wet coats in even, parallel passes, overlapping
each pass 50% to attain the required DFT.
INSPECTION HOLD POINT: Primer coat application and DFT per coating
chart in Section 4.1.
Note: In the event that parts are to be assembled prior to the finish coat
being applied, the mating surfaces will be sufficiently protected by the
base and intermediate coats and will not require the finish coat on
those surfaces.
6.3.4.1 Surface to be coated shall be dry, and free of dirt, grease or other
contamination prior to application of the finish coat.
6.3.4.5 Apply one or two wet coats in even, parallel passes, overlapping
each pass 50% to obtain proper DFT.
6.3.4.7 Perform adhesion test on the coated test plate or on the agreed
and specified location on the part.

7.1 Paint personnel performing rework, repair, and/or touch-up of a damaged finish
coat shall verify the following:
7.1.1 Dry Film Thickness (DFT) prior to performing any rework, repair, and
touch-up. If DFT mils are above the total DFT mils required inform Paint
Supervision for further instruction.
7.1.2 Paint System and/or Color Code per Sales Order or Purchase Order for
correct coating application. If not specified or unsure of paint system or
color code get with Paint Supervision for further instruction.
7.2.1 Areas with damage or blemishes that involve only the intermediate and
finish coats shall be pressure washed with detergent and rinsed or solvent
cleaned before mechanically roughing (sanding) the surface to provide an
anchor pattern to hold the paint. Solvent wipe all foreign matter that will
interfere with adhesion.
7.2.2 Surface preparation for areas damaged to the base metal shall be
pressure washed with detergent and rinsed or solvent cleaned. If
blasting of small areas is not feasible, use mechanical abrasion tools to
achieve a minimum 2.0 mil anchor profile. Feather the edges of the
existing coating around the damage area back to sound coating material.
Solvent wipe all foreign matter that will interfere with adhesion. Solvent
and rags must be cleaned and changed frequently. Test for cleanliness.
Note: Zinc rich epoxy primer may be used for repairs down to bare metal
where the primer must overlap painted surface.
7.3.1 Coating materials for touch-up shall be the same as used in the original
coating system, however, for areas damaged down to the bare metal or
where low areas of DFT exists in the inorganic primer and where the
primer must overlap painted surface, zinc rich epoxy primer shall be used
for corrections.

NOV PCG Form EF-004 Rev 0
7.3.2 For touch up of the intermediate and top coat damage as described in
7.1.1, intermediate and finish coat materials shall be used to build the
Total DFT mils required and shown in the Coating System Selection
Chart.
7.3.3 For touch-up of larger damaged areas as described in 7.1.2, all three
coats should be applied to the prepared metal. If inorganic zinc is the
primer, excess zinc must be sanded off the surrounding sound coating
material before the intermediate and finish coats are applied to build the
Total DFT mils required and shown in the Coating System Selection
Chart.
