and black bands (150 mm alternating).
All below grade surfaces except the bottom one, on all concrete foundation, buried
concrete thrust anchors and pipe supports shall be coated in accordance with APCS-10
to an elevation of 300 mm above finish grade.
All kilometer marker posts shall be painted yellow in accordance with SAES-H-101V &
APCS-22.
All welded structure shall be grit blasted using abrasive grit to obtain minimum
cleanliness and surface profile requirements as per the paint data sheet. Abrasive used
shall be dry and free of contaminants.
External FBE coat, sections of Pipeline 8 meter beyond the point of exit from the ground
if the exit angle is 45 degree or less and for camel/road crossings and 1 meter beyond
the point of exit from ground if the exit angle is 46 degree or more.

CONTRACT # 6600033948
Anchor bolts shall be painted with APCS-1C or shall be galvanized. The paint shall be
applied up to the bottom of the thread.
Abrasive blasting shall be carried out only when the steel is at least 3 deg. C above dew
Point.
6.1 General Requirements for External Coating
6.1.1 All buried onshore pipes shall be externally coated.

6.1.2 Pipes in all subsea services shall be externally coated.
6.1.3 Plant piping and other above grade pipelines in industrial or marine
exposure shall be externally coated.
6.1.4 All onshore buried and subsea coated pipes shall be 100% holiday free
and all holidays shall be repaired prior to burial. If the pipe is bent, it
should be holiday tested again to determine any damage to the coating
during bending.
6.1.5 All transition areas (buried to above ground pipe sections, including
camel and road crossings) shall be protected with the buried service
coating and supplemented with an approved protective laminate/
Wrapping system. This system shall start at least 1m below ground and
extend above ground as follows:
a) For sharp angles (46 to 90 degrees), the laminate coating shall
extend at least 1 m above ground.
b) For shallow angles (45 degrees or less), the laminate coating
shall extend at least 8 m above ground. If a support on an
existing pipe is encountered at a distance less than 8 m along the
pipe, and it cannot be removed, the laminate coating shall
terminate at the support. In-active sand control, pipeline coating
may stop at the first weld, provided that the pipe is 3-pipe
diameter above the grade level where the plant coating will take
over. (Above-ground portions of APCS-105 and APCS-115 must
be protected from direct sunlight. See the APCSs for details.)
6.1.6 Hand-applied tapes of all types shall not be used except for the PVC
outer wrap of APCS-113C.

CONTRACT # 6600033948
6.1.7 The APCS-113C can also be used over an existing coating that is
sound and has good adhesion on the steel substrate. This procedure is
normally applicable on isolated steel valves, spools and fittings that are
not protected with either cathodic protection or galvanic anode.
6.1.8 Ditch preparation and sand padding requirements for onshore buried
pipe are given in SAES-L-350 and SAES-L-450.
6.1.9 At road crossings, the minimum allowable surface preparation prior to
coating shall be near white metal Sa 2.5 except for APCS-113C.
6.1.10 Cast iron pipe that has been shop-coated with enamel (or similar) does
not require additional external coating prior to burial. Bare cast iron pipe
shall be externally coated prior to burial.
6.1.11 Buried stainless steel lines shall be externally coated with halide-free
liquid coating or visco-elastic coating APCS-113C depending on
operating temperature.
6.1.12 Pipes to be thrust bored shall be coated with APCS-104A or APCS-
104B first layer and APCS-113A top layer. For open cut excavation,
APCS-113C can be used over APCS-104A or APCS-104B.
6.1.13 When external coating is required, the selection table given in
paragraph 5.4 & 5.6 of SAES-H-002 shall be used.
6.1.14 Coating systems listed in paragraphs 5.4 through 5.6 of SAES-H-002
shall not be used under conditions that violate service limitations or
other requirements given in the applicable APCS data sheets. Only
approved products shall be used.

welds shall be done by heat induction coils only.
6.1.16 Wellhead components shall be coated in accordance to SAES-H-001
and SAES-H-004.
6.2 General Requirements for Internal Coatings
6.2.1 Internal coating is required when there is a potential problem with

corrosion that could have an impact in the process such as for water,

CONTRACT # 6600033948
gas, condensate and crude oil. When internal coating is required, the
selection table given in paragraph 5.3 of SAES-H-002 shall be used.
6.2.2 Internal coatings used in potable water service must meet Food and
Drugs Administration (FDA), National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) or
equivalent requirements for suitability for use in contact with drinking
water. The certificate shall be renewed every 24 months.
6.2.3 Application of phenolic primer prior to the application of FBE shall not
be controlled manually. A machine shall be used to ensure that the
travel of application is constant and that the DFT will not exceed one mil
(25 microns) in all areas. One mil is exceeded if the “peaks” of steel
substrate are no longer visible.
6.2.4 For onshore application, the robotic crawler machine (consisting of
blasting and coating equipment, dry film thickness gauge and holiday
detector) shall be used for internal field girth welds of pipe strings with
diameters ranging from 8 to 36". If isotope is used as the girth weld
locator, it should be backed up with a video camera for real time
inspection to ensure that blast cleaning and coating application are
done in the girth weld area. For pipe diameters larger than 36", the
coating application can be done manually by qualified contractors with
the approval of CSD/Coatings Team.
6.2.5 In the offshore, a semi-robotic system shall be used in the application of
specialty liquid coating on internal girth welds by qualified and
experienced contractors. This is applicable for sub-sea pipelines with
diameters ranging from 8" and above.
6.2.6 For sour gas and Wasia water services, field application of FBE shall
not be used for internal protection of girth welds for both onshore and
offshore pipelines.

Welds edges shall be given a brush applied stripe coat prior to normal painting.
Recoating shall not be carried out until the earlier coat has completely cured.
The finishing coating shall be generally free of runs, Sags, drips, dry spray or
foreign matter.
Paint to be sprayed shall be filtered through a 30 to 60 mesh screen prior to use

and shall be continuously agitated with low speed stirrer.
Upon completion of the paint application, the dry film thickens shall be checked.
All the areas where the dry film thickness are below the above minimum values
need to be build-up.
6.5 Repair Works
Defective areas will be initially cleaned by solvent or detergent.

CONTRACT # 6600033948
For small areas than 0.1sq.m the paint film will be removed by means of grinding
machine using at least 80 grit disc sanders to expose the bare metal surface.
