1 SCOPE
1.1 This Specification describes paint systems designed to resist a broad range of
environments providing tough, durable, abrasion and chemical resistant coatings.
1.2 The specification is written for use at all PCG original equipment manufacturing
locations and repair locations. It is understood the repair facilities may not be
capable to perform all the testing or have a NACE II or III inspector on hand. For
both new and repaired equipment, this procedure should be followed as closely as
possible with any deviations reported on RigDocs form 101210943 (MGF-003).
1.3 Specification AX040014 does not cover paint systems requiring NORSOK M-501
certification. Please see specification AX040013 for NORSOK specifications
when the Sales Order requires NORSOK M-501 certification.
1.4 The colors used by NOV PCG on Shaffer products shall be identified by the
numbering systems assigned by Federal Standard No. 595C or RAL for paint
colors.
1.5 Protective coatings shall be applied to all Shaffer products prior to shipment,
either to a customer or to another shop for further fabrication unless otherwise
specified by the customer in his purchase order or the shop work order.
1.6 The drawing callout for the correct paint specification shall be “AX040014, Paint
System ‘X’, Color Code ‘XX’.” On parts where the Paint System and/or Color are
either missing from the drawing or specified differently than the Purchase Order,
the requirement in the Purchase Order shall take precedence. The Paint System
and color in the Purchase Order will reflect the customer’s requirement from the
Sales Order.

5 APPLICATION
5.1 Preparation
5.1.1 Manufacturer’s application instructions in the Product Data Sheet regarding

anchor profile, steel temperature, storage temperatures, mixing, thinning,
application, induction “sweat-in” times, etc. shall be followed in addition to
this specification. In case of a conflict this document governs. All recoat
intervals specified for each material shall be observed.
5.1.2 For adhesion testing, a .250” x 12” x 12” test panel shall be provided for
each work order or large component. The test panel will be blasted and
coated along with the components being coated. For smaller parts where
more than one work order is being painted at once, a single test panel
maybe used for a painted group of parts.
5.1.3 Surface Cleanliness: Gloves, boot covers, or other coverings shall be used
as necessary to prevent contaminating prepared or coated surfaces before
application of subsequent coats of material.
5.1.4 Rain Protection: In applicable field conditions as defined by industry

standard PA1, coatings must be protected from rain for 6 hours after
application, unless specifically stated in manufacturer’s Product Data
Sheet.
5.1.5 Surfaces to be protected from blasting described in the next section:
a. ring grooves
b. end connections
c. hydraulic ports
d. threaded holes
e. seal surfaces
f. bearing bores
g. close tolerance pin holes
h. exposed ram shafts
i. coated surfaces like: Xylan, Everslick, SermaGard, Plating,
etc.
5.2 Surface Preparation
5.2.1 All parts to be detergent washed and/or steam cleaned sufficiently to

remove any oil, grease, or foreign matter prior to grit blasting.
5.2.2 All parts are to be grit blasted to remove all scale, rust, corrosion and
foreign matter.
www.nov.com

Revision AK
Page 17 of 26
5.2.2.1 All grit blasted parts are to be blasted to near white metal per
SSPC-SP10 Sa-2 ½ minimum to produce the anchor profile
shown in the Section 4 paint system charts. Abrasive medium
shall be selected to yield the required anchor profile.
5.2.2.2 Blasting: Before and after blasting, the metal surface temperature
shall be at least 5°F above the measured dew point. A minimum
of 90 psig shall be maintained at the blast nozzle. The first coat
shall be applied within 4 hours of blasting.
5.2.2.3 If rust bloom forms after blasting, the affected area shall be re-
blasted before application of the first coat.
NOTE: If climate controls are in place to provide continuous

atmospheric conditions as listed above, the 4 hour window
does not apply and may be extended to as much as 8 hours.
5.2.2.4 Blasting of a fully assembled unit is permissible except when

residual blasting material will interfere with proper operation.
5.2.2.5 Equipment such as air dryers, filters, or coolers, necessary for

clean, dry air shall be utilized.
NOTE: Blast air must be free of oil, water, and other contaminants.
5.2.2.6 After blasting, remove all residual grit by blowing with clean, dry
compressed air and/or by brushing.
5.2.3 When preparing stainless steel, duplex or super duplex components that
are to be coated, the surface shall be prepared in the same manner as
described in this section, but metallic abrasives shall not be used. When
using mineral abrasives such as aluminum oxide for example, the supplier
shall ensure iron oxide is not a part of the abrasive mixture.
5.2.3.1 Stainless steel surfaces shall be isolated from carbon steel

surfaces to prevent cross contamination from transient dust.
5.2.4 Blast Surface Testing (For PCG System 2 Only)
5.2.4.1 Use the ISO 8502-3 pressure sensitive tape method to test
surface cleanliness. The steel surface must not exceed a Dust
Quantity Rating of 2 or the requirement in the coating
manufacturer’s product application guide.
www.nov.com

Revision AK
Page 18 of 26
5.2.4.2 On all blasted surfaces, a conductivity test (ISO 8502-6/9 or

ASTM D4940) shall be used to measure the salt content on the
surface. The maximum allowable value is 20 mg/m2.
5.3 Material Application
5.3.1 Primer Coat
5.3.1.1 The primer coat is to be applied as soon as possible after blasting

and before any visual evidence of rust blooms or contamination
appears. No painting is to be performed if the metal temperature
is less than 5oF above the dew point. If rusting or contamination
is evident, return to Section 5.2.2.
NOTE: Zinc-Rich Epoxy, Zinc-Rich Urethane and Inorganic Zinc

primers shall not be used when coating stainless steel parts.
The primer shall be omitted and only the two coats of epoxy
shall be applied.

5.3.1.8 Drying time is affected by atmospheric conditions and coating

thicknesses. Follow Product Data Sheet recommendations.
5.3.2 Primed Surface Cure Testing
5.3.2.1 For Inorganic Zinc Primer, a cure test shall be performed prior to
the application of the intermediate coat, to ensure the IOZ primer
is sufficiently cured before 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.
A Coin Test may be used in place of the solvent rub test. Use the
edge of a coin approximate the size of a US quarter, 1.00”
(100mm) diameter, and held with both hands to make a 1” long
scrape once onto the surface of the primer. The coin shall
produce a metallic shiny mark without any removal or loosening
of the zinc. Coin test to be completed at three positions on each
component.
5.3.2.2 For Zinc Rich Epoxy Primer, the film must be free of solvent, hard
and firm. When rubbed with a finger or the face of a coin or knife
the film should polish but not distort, flake or chip.
5.3.2.3 On larger components, cure testing is required at three

equidistant locations to ensure complete curing throughout the
coated surface.

5.3.9.1 Stripe Coating: After intermediate coat and before application of

finish coat, brush/roll stripe finish coating onto sharp edges, welds
and inaccessible areas.
5.3.10 Finish Coat
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 primer and intermediate coats and will not
require the finish coat on those surfaces.
Following assembly all exposed bolts, studs and nuts must be

painted with the top coat including those coated with Xylan.
The paint will protect the Xylan from UV damage.

6.2 Surface Preparation
6.2.1 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.
6.2.2 Surface preparation for areas damaged to the base metal shall be pressure
washed with detergent and rinsed or solvent cleaned. Abrasive blasting is
the preferred method of surface preparation, however if blasting of small
areas is not feasible, use mechanical abrasion tools to achieve SSPC-SP
11 and a minimum 2.0 mil anchor profile as specified in section 5.2.2.1.
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.
6.2.3 Measure the salt content on the surface. The maximum allowable value is
20 mg/m2 (ISO 8502-6/9).
Note: Zinc rich epoxy primer will be used for smaller repairs where
damage is down to bare metal. Inorganic zinc primer must not be
applied over any existing coated surface.
6.3 Application
6.3.1 Coating materials for rework, repair and touch-up shall be the same as
used in the original coating system. However, for areas damaged down to
bare metal or where low areas of DFT exist within the inorganic zinc
primer, zinc rich epoxy primer shall be used for corrections.
6.3.2 For repair of the intermediate and top coat damage as described in 6.2.1,
intermediate and finish coat materials shall be used to build the Total DFT
mils required and shown in the Coating System Selection Chart.
6.3.3 For repair of larger damaged areas as described in 6.2.2, all three coats,
including inorganic or reinforced inorganic zinc primer, should be applied to
the prepared metal. Excess inorganic zinc must be sanded off the existing
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. This process may leave a small space of bare metal
between coating and inorganic zinc primer. This space can be simply over-
coated with the intermediate coat to the proper DFT or may be striped with
zinc rich epoxy primer or the intermediate coat paint.
