PAINTING

6.1

Uninsulated surfaces of insulated equipment and piping, such as vessel nozzles, manway
covers, stiffeners, pipe shoes, flanges, valves, relief valves, strainers, traps, brackets, etc. and
the bare shell of piping near these parts, shall be painted with the appropriate system. This
painting will be done after erection and shall extend for a minimum of 100 mm under the
insulation.

6.2

Where insulated equipment or piping does not require painting due to its temperature of
operation, any uninsulated parts must be coated with the appropriate system.

6.3

Paint shall be used in the order that it is delivered, and containers shall remain unopened until
required for use.
Paints which are livered or gelled or otherwise deteriorated shall not be used.

6.4

All ingredients in any container shall thoroughly mixed before use to ensure that all lumps are
broken up, the pigment is completely dispersed and a uniform composition obtained.
Where pigment separation readily occurs provision shall be made for continuous mixing during
application.
Two component paints shall be mixed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
Hand mixing of paints shall only be permitted for containers up to 5 liters. All larger containers
shall be mixed by mechanical agitators and brought to a uniform consistency. Mixing in open
containers shall be done in a well ventilated area.

6.5

Painting shall be done in a well ventilated covered shelter, provided by Contractor, to protect the
painted surfaces from dust and other contaminants during the execution of the work.

6.6

Application may be by conventional spraying, airless spraying, hot spraying, roller or brushing,
in accordance with the paint manufacturers recommendations. The work will be carried out by
skilled operators using purpose made equipment. Sprayed coatings shall be cross-sprayapplied to insure uniform coverage, free of runs and sugs.
Spray equipment shall not be used outside in windy weather, or near surfaces of a contrasting
colour, unless the surface is properly protected.
The greatest precaution shall be taken in the spraying inorganic zinc-rich primers to ensure
proper cohesion and adhesion of zinc.

6.7

Paint drips, spatter or spray on surfaces which are not to be painted, or have been finish
painted, shall be removed.

6.8

Each coat of paint shall be applied as a continuous film, free of pinholes and of uniform
thickness. Overspray, skips, runs, sags, and drips will be avoided.

6.15

In all cases the surface being painted must be clean and dry before and during all painting
operations.

NOTES:
1)

For Silicone Primer, Anchor Profile of Surface Preparation shall be within 2030 microns.
Acceptable profile range may vary, depending on substrate and type of coating. Coating
Manufacturers recommendations shall be followed.

2)

This cycle shall be used on components operating between a minimum temperature lower than
150C and a maximum temperature in the range 150540C.
Insulated components operating at temperature always higher than 150C shall not be painted.

3)

Equipment or prefabricated piping in carbon steel, low alloy steel and austenitic stainless steel
which will be shipped through the sea and/or stored close to shoreline prior to installation shall be
protected prior to shipment as follows:
-

Carbon & low alloy steel:

surface preparation: Sa 2
1 coat of inorganic zinc rich primer, 75 microns min. DFT

Austenitic stainless steel:

surface preparation: Sweep blasting
1 coat of silicone (black), 25 microns DFT
or in alternative coverings suitable to avoid exposure to sea water spray.

4)

Minimum dry film thickness (min. DFT).

5)

Typical anchor profile of surface preparation shall be within 25-50 micron. Acceptable profile
range may vary, depending on substrate and type of coating. Coating Manufacturers
recommendations shall be followed.

6)

Parts of lines insulated by means of expanded metal shields shall be considered as uninsulated
parts of insulated lines.

7)

Cycle 2-5 may be used for maximum temperatures higher than 150 C provided that are lower
than maximum temperature specified by product datasheet.

8)

For fireproofed surfaces, the cycle is applicable if fireproofing material is concrete. For fireproofing
materials other than concrete, the painting cycle shall be defined by fireproofing material supplier.

9)

Painting cycle applicable where personnel protection is made by thermal insulation. Where
personnel protection is made only by other means (e.g. expanded metal shields), painting cycles
for uninsulated surfaces shall be used.

10)

Surface protection of insulated austenitic stainless steel can be realized, as alternative to cycles
2-6 and 2-7, by wrapping with aluminium foils (minimum thickness 60 microns) the bare surface
before application of insulation. Overlap of 50mm shall be provided at joints.
