3 TERMINOLOGY

The word “shall” and “must” is to be understood as a mandatory requirement.

The word “should” is to be understood as strongly recommended.

The word “may” is to be understood as an action to be undertaken at the Purchaser’s discretion.

4 SCOPE

This specification covers minimum requirement for the rust preventive measures to be provided at
Vendor’s shop, during sea transportation and storage at site, for the protection of the equipment, steel
structure, piping and materials for EPC Replacement 04 MCHE / GL1Z project.

Vendor shall specify in his offer the preservation method to ensure the steel structure, equipment,
piping and materials will ultimately satisfy his warranties and guarantees and ensure that smooth start-
up and operation is possible without interference from loose rust on equipment and piping internal
surfaces.

The protection shall secure the cargo in good condition against transportation up to the construction
site and preserve the goods from corrosion in storage after the delivery to site. The protection shall be
effective for 18 months outdoors or 36 months indoors from the date of shipment in marine atmospheric
(C5M according to ISO 12944-2), and tropical and desert environmental atmospheric conditions.

Any alternative method shall be proposed for the Owner’s Approval.

6 RUST PREVENTION PROCEDURE

All unpainted surfaces shall be provided with rust protection as follows:

6.1 Surface Preparation

6.1.1 In case of surface not to be painted, surface preparation shall be conducted as indicated below.
6.1.2 Surface preparation shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommendation and the following
details. If any deviation from this specification, Vendor shall submit the detail information for review and
approval by Owner.
6.1.3 Surfaces shall be free from rust, water, dirt, dust, grease, oil, flux, weld spatter, burrs, chlorides, and
other foreign matters before any rust preventives are applied.
6.1.4 Rust, scale, spatter and all other foreign substances shall be removed by mechanical (e.g., SSPC–SP
6), or chemical (e.g., SSPC-SP 1) methods except for machined surfaces requiring special protection
(e.g., flanged gasket face). When the chemical method is used, post treatment such as neutralizing,
hot water wash and drying shall be carefully conducted.
6.1.5 After cleaning, dust and other loose metals / materials should be removed by brushing, or by blowing
with compressed air, free from moisture and oil, or by vacuum cleaning. Any oil or grease remaining
should be removed by swabbing with a volatile solvent.
6.1.6 If a surface has been exposed to salt spray or salt bearing winds, or a chemically polluted atmosphere,
it must be washed thoroughly with clean fresh water and allowed to dry before application of rust
preventives.
6.1.7 Cleaned steel surfaces should be given rust preventives within four (4) hours after acceptance
inspection of surface preparation (before rust bloom occurs).
6.1.8 In cases where there are interior surfaces which cannot be dried sufficiently, rust inhibitor shall be
dissolved in the hydrostatic test water and/or water operation.

6.2 Rust Preventive Treatment

6.2.1 After it has been confirmed that surface preparation (rust removal, washing and drying) has been
completed, rust preventive treatment shall be started.
6.2.2 Rust preventive shall be applied evenly to all surfaces to be protected.
6.2.3 When equipment test operation is conducted with the use of oil at the shop, the addition of rust
preventives to the oil for purpose of rust preventive treatment will be permitted.
6.2.4 If any welds are made after completion of rust preventive treatment, such portions hall be thoroughly
cleaned and coated with rust preventive of the same type as that previously used.

6.2.5 Part and components, if protected with rust preventive before assembly, shall be covered so as not to
be exposed to dust and moisture during storage.
6.2.6 Sliding parts, bearings and other important parts and components whose machined surfaces require
special protection, shall be provided with sufficient protections.
6.2.7 Method of rust preventive treatment shall be in accordance with APPENDIX 1.
6.2.8 Inside surfaces of any disassembled lube, seal or control oil piping shall be cleaned, free of scale and
all other foreign matters and coated with rust preventive.
6.2.9 Items subject to damage by water or humidity shall be provided additional protection as required.
Components with non-drainable crevices or chambers shall be covered and protected at all times
from entrance of water or debris.
6.2.10 Rust prevention oil, grease, fluids and compounds are typical varnish for temporary protection. VCI
(Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) type is alternatively considered as a type of Rust Preventive Varnish.
Before application, surfaces shall be thoroughly prepared, cleaned and dried.
6.2.11 If any welds are made after completion of rust preventive treatment, the portions shall be thoroughly
cleaned and coated with rust preventive of the same type as that previously used.
6.2.12 Copper alloy parts, components and equipment shall be protected with the use of copper alloy rust
preventives.
6.2.13 Items with exposed rubber parts or lining shall be wrapped with opaque airtight plastic cover product
secured with tape. Desiccant shall not be used to protect rubber product.

6.3 Work after Rust Prevention Treatment

6.3.1 After completion of the rust preventive treatment of equipment interior surfaces, manholes, nozzles,
air vents, oil feed holes, drains, piping, flanged joints and all other openings shall be plugged,
blinded, capped or closed by other means and hermetically sealed with the use of sealing tapped to
nozzle.
6.3.2 When the entire equipment or block of equipment is packed after rust preventive treatment, the
package shall be hermetically sealed, so that vapor phase inhibitor may not leak from the package.
6.3.3 Exposed machined surfaces such as shaft ends, and couplings shall be wrapped with rust preventive
paper or polyethylene sheets and sealed with tapes after rust preventive treatment.
6.3.4 Shaft bearing portions in casings and blinded openings which must be air-tight, shall be sealed with
tape.
6.3.5 Shafts shall be locked to prevent rotation during shipment. Coupling shall be disconnected, covered
with grease, and wrapped with cloth to exclude dirt. They shall be adequately supported to prevent
damage during shipment.
