4. Procedure
4.1. Surface Preparation.
4.1.1. Surface preparation shall be done in accordance with the Steel Structure Painting
Council Specification (SSPC-SP) 10 (near white metal blast cleaning).
4.1.2. Before abrasive blasting, all surfaces shall be dry and free from deposit of oil, grease, or
other contaminant.
4.1.3. The abrasive shall be clean and dry.
4.1.4. Blast cleaning shall not be carried out in conditions, which are caused to surface
condensation.
4.1.5. All blast cleaned surface shall be primed coat before rusting.
4.1.6. Welded areas shall be blast cleaned or ground to prevent sharp rough areas. Weld
reinforcement shall not be removed. And base metal shall not be ground below the
surface.
4.2. Painting condition.
4.2.1. Surfaces that will be coated shall be free of all dust, oil, grease and other contaminants.
4.2.2. Coating shall not be applied when ambient temperature, steel temperature and coating
material temperature are out of the range recommended by the paint manufacturer.
4.3. Painting application.

proper surface condition necessary for painting exist.
4.4.2. Confirm that environmental requirement for blast cleaning is met.
4.4.2.1. Verify surface preparation and surface profile.
4.4.2.2. Verify that cleaned surface have been kept free of contamination.
4.4.3. Just before painting, again inspect surface cleanliness and profile to ensure that
moisture, other contaminants and surface imperfections are not present.
4.4.4. Verify that storage, mixing, thinning and application of primers, intermediates, and
finished surfaces are in accordance with paint manufacturers instruction.
