SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
a.
2.1
2.2
The danger of explosion or fire is ever present during the setting up of the
equipment and carrying out the metal spraying work, and until the equipment
has been removed from the work area. It is therefore essential that precautions
are taken throughout these periods. Guidance on precautions which experience
has shown to be necessary to guard against the risk of fire and explosion is given
in the following Clauses in this section.
Flame Pistols
a.
b.
The spraying pistol is always to be lit up, adjusted, and shut off strictly in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions. When in use the pistol is not
to be pointed at other persons, combustible materials or gas cylinders.
c.
If the pistol back fires in use, close the pistol valve to prevent major damage to
the unit, then shut off the fuel gas cylinder valve. Immediately reopen the pistol
valve, allowing air to flush nozzle ports for about half a minute. If, on relighting
correctly, the back fire is repeated, shut off as above and ascertain the cause.
d.
When the spraying unit is to be laid aside after use, both the fuel gas and oxygen
cylinder valves are to be closed and the hoses and pistol purged of all residue gas
by a reverse flow of compressed air (using suitable adaptors) from the gun end
of the hoses to open air.
The following precautions are to be taken when using or storing gas and oxygen
cylinders.
b.
On no account are oxygen and fuel gas cylinders to be stored in the same area
and near compartments in which metal spraying is being undertaken, and care
is to be taken to see that full and empty cylinders are clearly distinguishable and
kept well apart.
c.
When cylinders have to be stored or sited out of doors, they are to be protected
from rain, and the direct rays of the sun. Gas cylinders in particular, are to be
treated with care, and not subject to knocks, blows or excessive heating, and are
to be kept in an upright position at all times.
d.
e.
It is important that no oil, grease, or fatty substances are allowed to come into
contact with oxygen cylinders, regulators, or filters. Oil and grease in the
presence of oxygen are EXTREMELY EXPLOSIVE. It is also important that no
grit or other foreign matter is allowed to enter, or remain on fittings carrying
combustible gases or oxygen.
f.
Keys of gas cylinders must always be a perfect fit on the spigot, and maintained
in good condition. When not in use the reducing valve fittings and the outlet
valve control are to be removed taking care to ensure that the cylinder valve is
fully closed before removal.
g.
2.1
NES 764

2.3
2.4
2.5
2.6
b.
c.
All hoses supplying fuel gas to the spraying pistol are to be supported and
secured in such a manner that they are free from kinks, and not exposed to
possible damage from heat, sharp edges, footwear or heavy objects.
d.
The hoses are to be frequently inspected to ensure that they have not become
cut or cracked. Hoses that show any defects are to be replaced immediately.
b.
c.
Cleanliness
a.
Accumulations of zinc and aluminium spray dust with abrasive blasting dust
arisings are potentially explosive and fire hazardous. Therefore regular cleaning
operations to avoid such accumulations are to be carried out. Particular
attention being paid to the inside of exhaust ventilation where heavily oxidized
abrasive blasting dust is likely to settle and mix with the sprayed metal dust
arisings.
b.
Arisings from cleaning operations are to be removed from the ship and safely
disposed of.
c.
d.
Likewise zinc and aluminium dust will react with water and give off hydrogen,
which produces an explosive mixture in the presence of air. In view of this on
no account is the metal powder arisings to be discharged into water traps, for
collection purposes.
Lighting

Internal Areas
a.
3.2
The areas selected for metal spraying will be listed in Contract Documents. The
extent of metal spraying is to be kept to the minimum consistent with adequate
protection of structure and fittings against corrosion. DCW will provide
guidance when proposed omissions are under discussion.
Internal areas to be metal sprayed include inner bottom; wet bilges; upper
surfaces of all longitudinals in machinery spaces; bathroom, laundry and galley
structures except where neoprene polymeric epoxy, latex or ceramic deck
coverings will be laid; inaccessible structure; any other areas considered to
require this standard of preservative treatment.
External Areas
a.
External areas to be metal sprayed include all steel decks and the bottom 75mm
of all adjacent superstructures, edgestrips and coamings excluding those of
aluminium. Helicopter landing decks and aircraft Flight Decks ARE NOT to be
metal sprayed.

4.
SURFACE PREPARATION
a.
All welding required to be carried out on surfaces and the reverse side of
surfaces including the securing of minor fittings and attachments is to be
completed.
(2)
All welds are to be continuous, and ground flat and smooth, and
surrounding weld spatter removed.
(3)
All portable items which might otherwise obstruct free access for the
preparation, coating, and subsequent inspection of areas of structure, are
to be removed whilst the work is in progress.
(4)
(5)
Where the work is of necessity and is required to be carried out in the open
air in wet or cold weather conditions, suitable weatherproof covers are to
be erected over the areas being treated as protection from the weather
elements.
b.
When all the above requirements have been satisfactorily complied with, the
structure and fittings are to be prepared in the following manner.
c.
All the surfaces are to be initially washed and cleaned of all oil, grease, dirt and
other foreign matter by washing and scrubbing with general purpose detergent
to DG Ships 305 and then abrasive blasted to the BS 4232 1st Quality (SA 3)
standard of finish using Grade G 24 chilled iron grit, to produce a blast cleaned
surface profile 100 microns. On no account is copper slag, or other forms of
abrasive to be used for the purpose.
d.
The initial washing and abrasive blasting of the surfaces is to be carried out
following all the instructions with respect to procedures, precautions,
environmental conditions, and Quality Assurance requirements contained in
Sections 5 and 6 of NES 755.
e.
Where the abrasive blasting is carried out by open circuit blasting methods,
suitable screens are to be erected to confine the spread of abrasive to within the
working area, so as to avoid contamination of equipment, and injury to persons
working in the vicinity.
f.
After an area has been abrasive blasted in preparation for the application of the
coating, it is to be thoroughly cleaned of all spent abrasive grit, and residue dust
particles using a suitable vacuum cleaner fitted with a brush attachment for the
final clean.

(4)
b.
c.
d.
e.
When applying the duplex zinc aluminium metal coating system no more than
2 hours are to be allowed to lapse between the completion of the application of
the zinc and overcoating with the aluminium.
f.
During application of the metal coatings it is important that every effort is made
to constantly keep the spray nozzle at the distance from the surface
recommended by the manufacturer of the equipment and to direct the sprayed
metal vertically on to the surface being coated. The speed to which the pistol is
passed over the surface during application is also to be taken in relationship to
the rate to which the wire is melted and atomized.
g.
Care is also to be taken to ensure that the metal spraying wire is kept free of
kinks, and passes freely through the spraying pistol.
h.
The metal sprayed coatings are to be of fine texture free from lumps, coarse
areas and loosely adherent particles, and of even thickness.
i.
5.1
NES 764
Issue 3 (Reformatted)
5.3
j.
When an area abrasive blasted and metal sprayed adjoins areas still to be
treated, the finished area is to be protected against damage from abrasive
blasting and abrasive given inbedment by covering with suitable sheeting, but
allowing a sufficient uncovered margin for overlapping with the metal for
joining up purposes when the adjoining area is subsequently coated.
k.
The metal sprayed coating is to be sealed by overcoating with the first coat of
the specified paint system immediately the application has been completed.

EQUIPMENT
a.
The approved process for metal spraying is by the use of wire fed proprietary fuel
gas/oxygen spray guns. Electric arc spray processes are not approved.
b.
The makers instructions for the use, handling and maintenance of equipment
must be complied with. These instructions will detail the type of fuel gas and
pressures of gas, oxygen and compressed air required, type of flame, angle of
operation and distance of gun nozzle from the prepared surface.
c.
If the makers instructions are not provided a test area is to be sprayed starting
with fuel gas at 1.7 bar, oxygen at 1.38 bar and compressed air at 4.14 bar with
the gun nozzle square to and approx 300mm from the surface. Pressures, angle
of spray and distance from surface are then to be adjusted until the trial area
is satisfactorily sprayed.
Note:
The fuel gas pressure quoted is for propane; considerable alteration may
be necessary for other fuel gases or gun nozzle sizes employed.
d.
If the equipment is fitted with flow meters the test spray is first to be tried with
minimum flows, gradually increasing the flows until optimum spray
performance is achieved.
e.
Fluctuations of pressures of fuel gas, oxygen and compressed air will result in
non-uniform spray application.
f.
Moisture and/or oil in the compressed air will have a deleterious affect on the
metal sprayed coatings. Only dry compressed air is therefore to be used.
g.
h.
Too rapid a feed of wire produces lumpy finishes and too slow a feed an
exceptionally fine oxidized coating.

METHOD OF CHECKING THE ADHESION OF THE ZINC SPRAY TO THE STEEL
SURFACES
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
C.1
Straight edge.
C.2
METHOD
C.3
Using a straight edge and a hardened steel scriber, score two parallel lines in the
coating at a distance apart equal to approximately ten times the average coating
thickness. The cuts are to penetrate through the full depth of the coating to the base
metal and, by the application of sufficient pressure, be achieved in the minimum
number of strokes.
C.4
Should any part of the coating between the lines break away from the base metal it
is to be deemed to have failed the test.
C.5
The items or areas selected for this test is to be agreed between the Contractor and
the responsible Quality Assurance Authority.
C.6
The test is destructive and the damaged area must be locally reblasted and re-metal
sprayed in accordance with this NES.
