1.0 SCOPE
This specification covers mandatory requirements governing the selection and
application of paints for construction and maintenance of structures and
equipment, mainly for Carbon Steel, Low and Intermediate Alloy Steel, unless
the contrary is indicated. In general, this standard is divided into three sections,
namely:
Part I Summarizes the basic principals and requirements
Part II Gives schedules of paints for specific items and conditions
Part III Presents a summarized color Code Schedule.
PART I - REQUIREMENTS
2.0 GENERAL
2.1 The general technique of surface preparation should be as recommended

in NACE TM-01-70/75 or other equivalents and the prepared surface
before the application of the primer coat to be in accordance with the
applicable grade as specified in NACE TM-01-70-75 or equivalents. The
painting system should be specified from the details in the attached
schedule.
2.2 Color schemes should comply with the color schedule attached, and
industry’s approved standard colors. However, for equipment painted at
manufacturers works, the nearest manufacturer’s standard color shall be
acceptable.
2.3 Paint systems are specified by dry film thickness of coat(s) and total dry
film thickness of primer, undercoat and finish, rather than by the number
of coats.
2.4 Unless otherwise stated in the Schedule the total dry film thickness of
paint systems should be 125 microns minimum.
2.5 Primers, finish and top coats for any particular system shall be from the
same manufacturer to assure compatibility.
2.6 The References Section lists the standards, which shall be used with this
specification.
2.7 If a job is contracted, the contractor shall prepare a detailed painting

schedule including (but not limited to) the information listed below:
a. Surface preparation
b. Application
c. Inspection procedures
d. Provisions for handling and storage of paint at the site
The painting contractor shall be responsible for:

- The quality of workmanship, which shall be performed in strict
accordance with this specification and all other relevant
documents, such as site regulations, safety rules, referred
standards and codes, etc. Deviation is not allowed unless duly
authorized in writing.
- Obtaining Company assurance that the equipment, piping, etc., is
certified safe and available, and that all appropriate tests are
completed before starting any painting work.
- Maintenance of the paint work until completion of the contract.
This shall include the repair of any damages. When the damage is
caused by others, payment for the repairs will be agreed.
- Obtaining the characteristics of the paints and paint materials, if
necessary, from the paint manufacturer.
- Provision of all painting, thinning and cleaning materials, tools, site
accommodation, transport services, and competent supervision
necessary for the satisfactory completion of the work.
- Maintaining workshop facilities, tools and equipment in good, clean
condition. Spray guns, brushes, rollers, paint pots and the like
shall be regularly cleaned and shall be entirely suitable for their
purpose.
- The supply of all the necessary equipment, weather protection and
scaffolding for the painting of storage tanks to ensure that the work
is carried out in accordance with this specification and to the
agreed program.
- Grounding mechanical equipment and precautions to prevent the

build-up of static electricity.
Making sure “dead man” handles are installed and working
properly on all abrasive blast cleaning equipment.
- Taking all precautions to avoid interference with the working of
other contractors.
- The protection of all equipment, structures and any other areas
from mechanical damage, damage caused by the abrasive during
blast cleaning, paint droppings, or overspray.
Examples of areas to be protected are: valve stems, glass, glass-
faced pressure gauges, instruments, light fittings, machinery
including generators, compressors, pumps, etc., cables or
stainless steel pipework, gratings, controls desk and panels,
equipment identification plates, or any areas of the structure not
being painted at that particular time.
3.0 SURFACE PREPARATION OF STEEL
3.1 General
3.1.1 Grease, oil, etc., shall be removed by means of a suitable solvent in

accordance with SSPC-SP-1 or by high pressure water jetting or steam
cleaning with, if necessary an alkaline cleaning agent. Excessive rust
scale should be removed using impact cleaning tools.
All bolt holes shall be solvent cleaned prior to blast cleaning. All sharp
edges shall be removed. In addition, all exterior faces of flanges shall be
protected with cardboard or wood.
3.1.2 Grades of surface preparation should conform to NACE TM-01-70/75 or

Steel Structure Painting Council Standards. For guidance, the NACE
grades utilized are given in the following clauses. Equivalent SSPC
grades, however, are presented. Surface preparation should be carried
out, preferably, in a manufacturers works, unless the contrary is specified.
Grades of Surface Preparation
There are four grades of blast cleaning presented on two Visual

Standards (order TM-01-70/75) which have been prepared to conform to
the four surface conditions defined below by NACE, which are
recommended for use in describing or specifying degrees of surface
preparation on steel by abrasive blasting. The four grades are defined as
follows:
NACE No. 1: White Metal Blast Cleaned Surface Finish. Defined as a

surface with a gray-white (uniform metallic) Color, slightly roughened to
form a suitable anchor pattern for coatings. This surface is free of all oil,
grease, dirt, mill scale, rust, corrosion products, oxides, paint, and other
foreign matter. (Comparable to SSPC-SP 5, White Metal Blast Cleaning).
NACE No. 2: Near-White Blast Cleaned Surface Finish. Defined as a

surface from which all oil, grease, dirt, mill scale, rust,, corrosion
products, oxides, paint, or other foreign matter have been removed
except for light shadows, streaks, or slight discoloration’s (of oxide
bonded with metal). At least 95% of any given surface area has the
appearance of NACE No. 1, and the remainder of that area is limited to
slight discoloration’s. (Comparable to SSPC-SP10, Near-White Blast
Cleaning).
NACE No. 3: Commercial Blast Cleaned Surface Finish. Defined as

surface from which all oil, grease, dirt, rust, rust scale, and foreign matter
have been completely removed and all rust, mill scale and old paint have
been removed except for slight shadows, streaks, or discoloration caused
by rust stain or mill scale oxide binder. At least two-thirds of the surface
area shall be free of all visible residues and the remainder shall be limited
to light discoloration, slight staining, or light residues mentioned above. If
the surface is pitted, slight residues of rust or paint are found in the
bottom of pits. (Comparable to SSPC-SP-6, Commercial Blast Cleaning).
NACE No.4: Brush-off Blast Cleaned Surface Finish. Defined as a

surface from which oil, grease, dirt, loose rust scale, loose mill scale, and
loose-paint are removed, but tightly adhering mill scale, rust, paint and
coatings are permitted to remain if they have been exposed to the
abrasive blast pattern, so that numerous flecks of the underlying metal
are uniformly distributed over the entire surface. (Comparable to SSPC-
SP-7, Brush Off Blast Cleaning).
3.2 Surface preparation by blast cleaning
3.2.1 Before blast cleaning
See item 3.1.1 above
3.2.2 Blast Cleaning Equipment:
The compressed air supply used for blast cleaning shall be free from
water and oil.
Adequate separators and traps shall be provided, installed in the coolest

part of the system, they shall be regularly emptied to prevent carry over of
water and oil.
Accumulations of oil and moisture shall be removed from the air receiver
by regular purging.
Air compressors shall not be allowed to deliver air at a temperature in

excess of 110°C.
Nozzles shall be discarded and replaced when wear reaches 50%.
Where air operated equipment is used, the operator’s hood or head gear
shall be ventilated by clean cool air served through a regulator filter, to
prevent blast cleaning residues from being inhaled.
“Dead man”handles shall be installed and working properly.
3.2.3 Abrasives
Suitable abrasives for use in blast cleaning are: (not listed in order of
preference).
a) Steel grit (with no sharp profiles)
b) Steel shot
c) Malleable iron shot
d) Crushed chilled-iron grit
e) Chopped steel wire
f) Aluminum oxide (corundum)
g) Blast furnace slag*
h) Sand
*Furnace slag shall not be used in coatings, linings or other applications,

where abrasive residues embedded in the steel surface may have a
detrimental effect on coating performance.
Grit - the particles show good angularity of form with sharp cutting edges
and should be substantially free from “half-rounds”(i.e. shot split in half).
The abrasive shall be free from oil, grease, moisture, salts, and not be
rusty, noticeably worn or dully when compared with fresh material.
3.2.4 Degree of roughness
The required degree of surface roughness or peak-to-valley height after

blast cleaning depends on the type of paint to be applied. In general it is
required between 1 and 2 mils as the anchor profile.
Blast cleaning restrictions:
Blast cleaning shall not be conducted when the temperature of the

surfaces is less than 3°C above dew point of the surrounding air or when
the relative humidity of the air is greater than 85%. The painting
contractor shall furnish a humidity meter to determine the relative
humidity and the dew point.
3.2.5 Surface preparation after blast cleaning
a) Dry abrasive blast-cleaned

A dry blast-cleaned surface shall be free of dust prior to application
of coating. Dust shall be removed by brushing with clean brushes,
blown-off with compressed air (free from oil and water) or vacuum-
cleaned.
b) Wet abrasive blast-cleaned

A wet-blast cleaned surface shall be cleaned by rinsing with fresh
water, to which sufficient corrosion inhibitor has been added to
prevent rusting. Alternatively a corrosion inhibitor may be included
in the water used for blast cleaning. This cleaning shall be
supplemented by brushing, if necessary, to remove any residue.
Particular care shall be taken to prevent rusting and/or
contamination of cleaned surfaces. The substrate shall be
thoroughly dry before the priming paint is applied. The first coat of
priming paint shall be given as soon practicable and before
detrimental corrosion or recontamination occurs. The cleaned
surface shall never be left unprotected overnight.
3.3 Surface preparation by pickling
3.3.1 Surface preparation by pickling shall not be considered.
3.4 Surface preparation by manual cleaning
Manual cleaning using mechanical cleaning tools to remove mil scale and
rust is only acceptable after consultation with the Company.
This surface preparation method is generally not recommended because

it may give insufficient cleaning, produce burrs or cut into the steel. The
surface produced shall be in accordance with SIS 05 59 00 St 3 or SSPC-
SP 3, Power Tool Cleaning.
Power tool cleaning shall overlap by a minimum of 25 mm into any

adjacent coated surfaces.
3.5 Equipment and structure to be painted in the field
Where alternate types of surface preparation are permitted, the Company

shall make a surface preparation cost study and specify the optimum
method to be used, taking into account:
a. Local rules or regulations governing hygiene, environment, and
safety.
b. Proximity of adjacent structures and equipment liable to damage
from abrasives.
c. Proximity of designed operating areas where personnel may be
present.
3.6 Surface preparation for re-painting
Initially all areas of loosened paint and scale and all points of rusting
should be located and treated in a manner essentially similar to the
preparation details in the previous section.
If such areas are sufficiently numerous as to make exact location and

definition a difficult proposition then the whole paintwork should be
prepared overall by sandblasting, chipping, scraping and power wire
brushing to the standards detailed in the previous section.
All prepared areas should then be degreased where necessary with

suitable solvent and primed within 4 hours.
Longer or shorter intervals may be specified in contaminated

atmospheres or for special paint systems, and will be indicated in the
particular specification.
Bare metal surfaces of piping, vessel nozzles and manways, structured

steel extensions and similar attachments extending beyond fireproofing or
insulation shall be protected with a complete paint or coating system
according to the service it is in.
3.7 Surfaces not requiring painting
3.7.1 The following metallic surfaces and materials do not require painting or
coating unless otherwise specified:
a. Non-ferrous materials.
b. Uninsulated austenitic stainless steels.
3.7.2 The following non-metallic surfaces and materials do not require painting
or coating unless specifically required.
a. Building brick, masonry units and wall tile.
b. Concrete structures and foundations.
c. Plastic and plastic coated materials.
3.8 Shielding of adjoining or adjacent equipment
Temporary shielding shall be used during surface preparation, and

painting or coating application, to prevent damage to adjoining or
adjacent equipment from abrasives, water, dust or paint. Such equipment
includes (but not limited) to:
a. Exposed machined surfaces: such as operating shafts, couplings,
lubrication fittings, linkages, valve stems.
b. Glass: such as used for instrument cases, level gages, lighting
fixtures
c. Exposed surfaces of packing glands, seals and bearings.
d. Information and Identification Labels: such as switch plates,
instrument dials, nameplates, caution and warning signs.
4.0 SURFACE PREPARATION OF CONCRETE
4.1 New concrete surfaces
New concrete surfaces to be coated shall be prepared per the following:

a. Oil, grease, and other contaminants are to be removed with
appropriate solvents.
b. If required, the surface shall be lightly blast cleaned to remove
loose, non-adhering concrete.
c. Surface defects shall be patched to provide smooth surface
suitable for the coating application.
d. If abrasive blasting is not performed, consider etching with 10-15%
hydrochloric acid (to neutralize excess surface alkalinity), followed
by thorough rinsing with fresh water.
The surface shall be completely dry before applying the protective

coating.
4.2 Old concrete surfaces
Old concrete surfaces to be painted shall be clean, dry, structurally sound

and be of adequate strength, free from contaminants, and have some
roughness to ensure proper paint adhesion. This surface preparation
shall be obtained by blast cleaning, wire brushing with power tools, or
etching with very dilute hydrochloric acid followed by rinsing with an
excess of water.
Mechanical cleaning is preferred to etching with hydrochloric acid and an

excess of water, because concrete surfaces shall be dry to a humidity of
not more than 4% wt before paint is applied.
5.0 INSPECTION METHODS AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
5.1 Testing
5.1.1 Blast-cleaning grade
Surface preparation shall be checked using pictorial standards per NACE

(or corresponding SSPC Visual Standards).
5.1.2 Roughness of blast-cleaned surfaces
Regular measurement of the roughness of the surface finish shall be

carried out, using one of the following methods.
- The roughness of the blast-cleaned surface is measured with a
flat- ended, calibrated micrometer.
- The roughness of the blast-cleaned surface is visually compared
with a reference surface.
5.1.3 Dry film thickness
Dry film thickness measurement shall be made of each coat and of the
total system.
All dry-film thickness limits as specified shall be strictly adhered to. The
film thickness shall be checked with calibrated film thickness gauges,
using the magnetic resistance or eddy currents principle.
The equipment shall be calibrated at least twice daily in accordance with

the manufacturer’s recommendations.
It is recommended that, in order to achieve the specified dry film

thickness, frequent checks of wet-film thickness should be carried out
during the paint application with wet-film thickness gauges.
If the film thickness does not meet the specified value, additional coat(s)
shall be applied.
Film thickness measurement for concrete and non-metallic surfaces shall

be one by Wet Film Thickness (WFT).
5.1.4 Adhesion/cohesion
The adhesion of the primer to the steel substrate and the intercoat
adhesion of the subsequent coat(s) and primer after curing shall be
determine by making several cut(s) through the coating with an
instrument called a“tiger claw”. This method is utilized for films less than
5 mils. For films more than 5 mils, the adhesion test shall be determined
by making an x-section through the coating and placing, like in the
previous case, adhesive tape over the cut performed in order to evaluate
the degree of adhesion by detachment of the film.
This test is of prime importance, when large film thickness per coating are
being applied. Failures may indicate poor cohesive strength due to, e.g.
solvent retention.
This test shall be in accordance with Standard ASTM D-3359.
5.1.5 Pinholes
Continuity of coatings applied to tank interiors and underground steel

pipe shall be checked using a wet sponge type holiday detector.
Low Voltage Holiday Inspection:
Thin film lining systems shall be inspected for holidays as follows:
Conduct holiday inspection of the entire coated area after the final coat
has dried and before the coating is cured. Use the Low Voltage Wet
Sponge technique specified in NACE RP0188. All coated surfaces
except bolt holes shall be 100% holiday free.
High Voltage Electrical Inspection:
Thick film lining systems shall be inspected for holidays as follows:
Use a high voltage holiday detector set as high as is practical with a

minimum of 5 V per µm of minimum specified thickness.
The test apparatus shall be a low-pulse direct-current detector of a type

approved by the Company
NOTES:
1) The required voltage is generally based on a spark length capable
of bridging an air gap (at the prevailing humidity conditions) of two
times the coating thickness.
2) In order to avoid “burn through” of the coating, the testing
equipment should be carefully and frequently calibrated.
3) The suggested method of calibrating a high-voltage spark tester
includes:
a) Making small pinhole in the coating. The coating thickness
at this pinhole shall be at least the average thickness
specified.
b) Using the same procedure and conditions, humidity and
travel speed, etc., increase the voltage on the pinhole tester
until the pinhole alarm is obtained at the manufactured
pinhole. The minimum voltage required to detect
manufactured pinholes should be doubled for the actual
pinhole inspection.
If the pinholes are present, they shall, depending on the extent, be

treated as follows:
If pinholes are few and local: the area shall be lightly sanded and
(an) additional coat(s) shall be applied by brush.
If the areas are extensive: the area shall be prepared per section
and be repainted at the Contractor’s expense.
The word “pinhole”is synonymous with “holiday”and “pore”.
5.2 Inspection
The contractor shall notify the Company before paintwork commences.
The term Inspector, used in this Specification, refers to the Company’s

representative.
The Inspector shall have the right to inspect the paintwork at all stages
and to reject any and all tools, instruments, materials, staging or
equipment, or work, which do not conform to the specification.
Finished paintwork shall have the correct shade, degree of gloss and
evenness and be free from tackyness after drying/curing and from cracks,
holidays, runs, sags, wrinkles, patchyness, brush or roller marks, or other
defects that may be deleterious to the quality of the coating.
Prior to final acceptance of the paintwork an inspection shall be made.

The Contractor and the Inspector shall both be represented and they
shall sign an agreed inspection report.
Compliance with governing specifications shall be checked by the

Inspector during the course of application of the paint or coating system.
Work shall not proceed with the next step in the system sequence (i.e.,
surface preparation, priming, intermediate and finish coat application)
until the previous work has been inspected and approved.
5.3 Repair of defects or damages
Any defect or damage that may occur shall be repaired before the
application of further coats; if necessary the particular surfaces(s) shall
be re-prepared to bare metal.
Areas that are to be overcoated shall be thoroughly cleaned free from

grease, oil and other foreign matter and shall be dry.
The surfaces shall then be prepared to the standard as originally

specified (for large damaged areas), or prepared to highest possible
standard using mechanically operated tools (for small local damages
spots up to 1 m2). Refer to coating manufacturer’s data sheet for
recoating requirements.
Subsequently additional compatible coats shall be applied, until they

meet the specification. These additional coats shall blend in with the final
coating on adjoining areas.
6.0 PAINT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
6.1 General
6.1.1 The painting requirements often depend on the “skin temperature” of the
substrate involved. The skin temperature shall be taken to be the
maximum operating temperature.
6.1.2 All paint shall be thoroughly mixed to give uniform consistency before
use. The grade and quantity of thinners shall be agreed with the paint
supplier, excessive thinning will be a cause for rejection of the work.
Paints supplied as more than one component shall be thoroughly mixed in
the proportions specified by the manufacturer and applied within the
specified time limit after mixing (“pot life”).
6.1.3 Coatings containing heavy or metallic pigments that have a tendency to

settle shall be kept in suspension by a mechanical agitator or stirrer.
6.1.4 No paint shall be used in which the vehicle has set hard and which
cannot readily be reincorporated by correct mixing. Similarly, no paint
shall be used which has jelled.
6.1.5 Paint shall not be applied under the following conditions:

- When the temperature of the surface is less than 3°C above the
dew point of the surrounding air, and/or the relative humidity is
higher than 85%.
- When there is the likelihood of an unfavorable change in weather
conditions within two hours after coating.
- When there is a deposition of moisture in the form of rain,
condensation, etc., on the surface. (This is likely to occur when
the relative humidity is over 80% and the temperature is below
15°C).
6.1.6 Painting carried out under doubtful weather conditions is not allowed.
6.1.7 The first coat of paint shall be applied as soon as possible after surface
preparation but in any case on the same day and before rusting or
contamination occurs.
6.1.8 Each layer of paint shall be allowed to dry for a period of time within the
limits prescribed by the paint manufacturer, before the next layer is
applied.
6.1.9 Alternate coats of a paint system shall have a difference in tint or color.
6.1.10 Particular attention shall be paid to the painting of corners, edges, welds,
etc., especially with respect to the specified minimum dry-film thickness.
6.1.11 During both application and drying, adequate ventilation shall be provided
if the work area is enclosed.
6.1.12 Transport and construction of painted structures shall be carried out after
sufficient drying time. Damage to the paint system shall be avoided as
much as possible by taking appropriate measures such as the use of non-
metallic slings, etc.
6.1.13 All steel construction or plates shall be provided with a priming or coating
system to protect the steel surfaces during the transport, storage,
construction and joining stages, e.g. welding of the project.
6.1.14 All surfaces inaccessible after assembly shall be fully painted before
assembly.
6.2 Spray application
Each coat is to be applied uniformly and completely over the entire

surface. All runs and sags shall be brushed out immediately or the paint
shall be removed and the surface be re-sprayed.
Before spraying each coat, all areas such as corners, edges, welds, small
brackets, bolts, nuts and interstices shall be precoated by brush to ensure
that these areas have at least the minimum specified dry-film thickness.
6.3 Brush application
Brush application shall be approved by the owner.

6.4 Roller application
Roller application shall only be in accordance with the paint

manufacturer’s instructions.
7.0 PRIMING AND FINISHING
7.1 Blast cleaned surfaces shall be prime coated during the pre-treatment or
pre-fabrication phases. It is imperative that such primers should be
applied as continuous coating in an even manner to achieve a minimum
film thickness in accordance with Table 2 of Part II - Schedules.
7.2 In order to minimize contamination between successive coats of paint,

overcoating of the preceding coat shall be done as soon as is permitted
by the particular specification, and the recoating schedule specified in the
coating manufacturer’ product data sheet, and not delayed beyond the
period specified. When delays are unavoidable, the painted surface shall
be thoroughly cleaned and dried to the satisfaction of the Company
before overcoating may take place.
7.3 The total dry film thickness of paint systems (i.e. primer plus finish)
should be in accordance with Table 2 of Part II-Schedules.
8.0 SHOP PREPARATION, PRIMING AND PAINTING

Structural steelwork, surface pipework, towers, vessels, heat-exchanger shells
and similar containers which will not be insulated shall be treated in the shop.
The treatment selection will depend on the exposure anticipated before the final
erection and painting.
9.0 PREPARING OF SHOP PRIMED SURFACES FOR OVERCOATING
9.1 Any primed surface which has been exposed for more than a few days
will have become contaminated and should be cleaned down with
pressured fresh water and allowed to dry before overcoating.
NOTE: If previously painted pipework is to be cut and welded on site, all

paint must first be removed from the area of the welded joint.
9.2 Primed and painted surfaces that have been exposed to marine
conditions, including shipment overseas, will be contaminated with salt
and should be lightly wire brushed, then washed with fresh water, before
overcoating.
9.3 Although zinc rich primers are very effective in preventing rusting,
extended exposure develops a surface contaminated with zinc corrosion
products, which can impair the adhesion of subsequent coats.
Zinc rich primers, both organic and inorganic, which have been exposed
long enough to develop white surface staining, should be prepared for
overcoating by one of the following methods:
9.3.1 Light blast cleaning and dust removal.
9.3.2 Wirebrushing followed by fresh water washing.
9.3.3 Scrubbing with fresh water, using bristle brushes.
9.4 Damaged surfaces to be repaired in accordance with Part II-Schedules.
10.0 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
10.1 Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is not normally required to be painted but where insulation

is to be applied to stainless steel equipment or piping, or such items are
to be stored in the open for long periods or are to be shipped as deck
cargo, protective painting should be as specified by the Company,
stainless steel plates in store shall be stacked on edge. Stainless steel
that requires to be insulated and under 150°C, shall be protected with
system 25.
10.2 Galvanized surfaces
Hot dip galvanized steel shall have a coating weight not less than 600
grams of zinc per square meter of surface (average thickness of zinc 75
microns). Minimum weight of galvanizing on structural members for
marine applications shall be 916 g/m2 or 129 µm.
Recommendations in ASTM A385 shall be considered when designing

fabricated structural steel items that will be hot-dip galvanized.
Zinc coating for bolts shall be either hot-dip galvanizing in accordance

with ASTM A153, Class C or alternately furnished with a mechanically
deposited zinc coating in accordance with ASTM B695, Class 50 or
higher. All components of mating fasteners (bolts, nuts and washers)
shall be zinc coated by the same process.
The steel fabricator shall remove all burrs and sharp edges by grinding
prior to galvanizing. The steel fabricator shall also ensure that all welds
are smooth and free of all weld slag and weld spatter, and that all paint
and varnish (including marking paint for identification), oil, grease and
excessive rust are removed prior to galvanizing.
All members and assemblies warped during galvanizing shall be

straightened in the shop.
Any damaged galvanizing shall be repaired. Repair should be in

accordance with ASTM A780 or other suitable procedures.
Prior to any painting, all of the salts and grease from manufacture and
weathering shall be removed and the primer, if required, shall be selected
from Table 2.
New galvanizing will not normally be painted unless exposed to

environment where progressive loss of zinc will ultimately cause corrosion
of steel to occur within a 3-4 year period. In practice this would include
galvanized steel subjected to severe industrial and marine atmospheres;
also, painting for appearance, or safety zones.
Where new galvanized steel is to be painted, it shall be thoroughly

degreased by wiping down overall with a suitable solvent and primed with
a brush applied coating of etch primer. Subsequent finishing with Epoxy
Polyamide or Polyurethane systems would then be permissible. see Table
2, Section II, for approved coatings.
Where new galvanized steel is to be subjected to a particularly acid

environment including contact with acids or close proximity to acid gases
then, following thorough cleaning to remove grease and salts (washing
with clean water may be necessary) the cleaned galvanized surface
should initially be pretreated by the brush application of a two pack
etching primer followed by at least two coats of Amine Cured Epoxy Resin
(100 microns thick each).
Weathered galvanizing which has been subjected to a period of at least

12 months in its permanent location shall be thoroughly cleaned to
remove all salts with pressured fresh water and then primed with a brush
applied coating of wash primer in accordance with Table 2.
Subsequent finishing with Epoxy Polyamide or Polyurethane systems

would then be permissible.
Certain fixings for galvanized sheeting, such as zinc coated strapping,

can normally only be obtained with a zinc coating much thinner than 75
microns. Such fixing should be prepared and primed after erection.
For certain zinc coated steel surfaces including zinc metal spray,
electroplated zinc and sherardizing, these will be covered by individual
specifications.
Galvanized Coatings Repairs:
Areas of galvanized parts that have become damaged during handling or

installation shall be repaired using Zinc Rich Polyamide Cured Epoxy (75
microns thick). In case of welding the following rules will apply:
- The structure manufacturer will assembly as many parts as can
possibly fit into the galvanizing bath, in order to galvanize as many
welds as possible.
- Those parts or structures that must be welded after galvanized
shall have the galvanized layers removed using electric or
pneumatic rotating wire brushes and welded normally.
- Once welding is finished, these areas must be thoroughly cleaned
and the joints protected, as outlined above.
Note: Care should be taken to not install galvanized steel articles in the
vicinity of stainless steel parts, nor where the possibility exists of
contamination at elevated temperatures. This rule extends also to zinc rich
coated parts.
10.3 Aluminum coatings
10.3.1 Safety Aspects

Aluminum in the form of paint or metal spray or a diffusion coating should
not be used on any steel surface which may operate above 120°C and
which is located where an explosive atmosphere may be present at any
time (e.g. in Division I areas).
10.3.2 Appearance of Aluminum Finishing Paint

The shells of large storage tanks and similar structures are seldom true to
curvature, notably at the plate edges. When they are finished in bright
aluminum paint which has high reflectivity, they may have an unsightly
“crumpled” appearance when the paint is fresh (the appearance will tone
down as the paint weathers). Aluminum gloss finish is not recommended
for large curved structures when appearance is important.
10.4 Wood
Wood for woodwork should be treated with a shop-applied wood

preservative, to prevent conditions under which organisms are likely to
damage the wood. This preservative treatment shall not have any
adverse effect on the subsequent paintwork.
Wood to be painted or varnished shall be made free from contamination.

If necessary, a stopping putty (paste filler) shall be used for the stopping
of holes or unevenness in the woodwork.
10.5 Concrete Curbed Areas and Sumps
Concrete curbed areas and sumps that are to be protected against Acid
or Chemical attack shall be coated with MBT Cellcote 232.
11.0 SAFETY IN PAINT APPLICATION
11.1 Scope
All necessary precautions should be taken to protect personnel and

property from accidents due to falls, fumes, fire, explosion, or other
dangers. Recommendations made herein are not all-inclusive and do not
supplant or replace other measures covering unusual conditions.
This guide defines methods and practices which are most practical in
maintaining safety during application of protective coatings on steel
structures. Complete coverage of all aspects is not presented.
The objective of this guide is to itemize basic actions and care that should
be considered while working in or on access facilities, using professional
tools to apply materials having potential hazards.
All personnel involved in the application of protective coatings should be

aware constantly of the several hazards with regard to access facilities,
specialized tools, and toxic or flammable materials.
11.2 Coatings
Handling Coating Materials
Coating materials shall be stored in safe, well-ventilated areas where

sparks, flames, and the direct rays of the sun can be avoided. Containers
shall be kept tightly sealed until ready for use. Warning tags shall be
placed on toxic materials.
Recommended safety rules for mixing operation include the following:

- Use eye protection (goggles, etc.)
- Use protective gloves
- Keep the face and head away from the mixing container
- Use protective face cream
- Avoid splash and spillage, and inhalation of vapors
- Mix all materials in well-ventilated areas away from sparks and
flames
- Use low-speed mechanical mixers
- Clean up spillage immediately
- Avoid excessive temperatures
Protective devices and equipment required for application of coatings

materials are determined by the type of coating as well as by the
environment. The coatings manufacturers shall provide Material Safety
Data Sheets on each product regarding explosion and toxicity hazards
inherent in the materials. Records of previous applications using similar
materials also shall be examined.
NOTE: Special measures shall be taken when applying polyurethane

based paint due to its high toxicity.
Toxicity of Coating Materials - Consult Manufacturer Safety Data Sheets

(MSDS) as some of the pigments used in organic coating materials are
toxic.
11.3 Personnel protection
General Rules for Safe Working Conditions:
The project superintendent and the painter foreman, with advice from the
safety engineer or industrial hygienist, should be alerted to see that the
following rules are obeyed:
11.3.1 Check tank or other enclosed space interiors for explosion hazard, toxic
materials, and adequate oxygen content for breathing. Before tank entry,
provide life lines and harness with an extra man stationed outside the
tank. Ascertain if the tank opening is large enough to remove an injured
man. Before entering a tank, check with operating personnel to ensure
that all process lines entering the tank are blanked off.
11.3.2 Provide proper lighting in interior of tanks and other dark areas. Be sure
that lighting does not create shadows or glare. All wiring should be so
constructed that there is no danger of electric shocks. In many instances,
explosion proof electric head lamps (as are used in mines) may be used.
11.3.3 When airline masks or hose masks are used, locate the intake air source
or the blower in an area free from air contaminants. Check the output air
for proper pressure and carbon monoxide content. Protect hoses from
damage and do not allow them to become tripping hazards.
11.3.4 Rope off or barricade work areas as required to protect personnel.
11.3.5 Provide and adequate number of portable fire extinguishers.
11.3.6 Post warning signs such as: “WET PAINT”, “NO SMOKING”, and “MEN
WORKING”.
11.3.7 The employer should provide the employee special protective clothing
and equipment as safety conditions require and where the same is not
similar to what is normally worn by him or provided by him as tools of the
trade. Examples of safety equipment to be provided by the employer are
goggles, hard hats, and rubber gloves.
a. Eye protection
Goggles or other suitable eye protection equipment shall always
be worn whenever there is the danger of exposing the eyes to
flying particles, acid, caustic substances, harmful rays, or any
condition considered hazardous by the supervisor of the operation.
Goggles used for protection from harmful rays shall also meet
requirements for protection against impact hazards.
b. Head protection
Approved hard hats shall be worn at all times and by everyone on
the jobsite without exception.
c. Foot protection
When it is deemed necessary that rubber boots should be worn,
they should be worn with steel innerliners to help prevent
punctures and stone bruises. All employees should be
encouraged to buy and wear approved “Safety Shoes”.

PART III - COLOR CODE SCHEDULE
1.0 GENERAL
This color code summarize oil industry’s experience in identifying systems and
equipment with certain colors, according to their use or location. However, in
this respect, the guidelines laid down by the COVENIN Standard Numbers 187-
81 and 253-82, Definitions and Classification of Safety Colors and Signals, and
Colors for Identifying Lines which Carry Fluids, respectively, must be taken into
account and adhered to.
Color coding shall be applied using band code lines instead of full paint. Color
Coding Identification is based on International Painting Color Charts to set the
hue of the colors. Base color for pipe lines shall be applied to the full extent of
the pipe.
This Code is not exhaustive, and differences in applications will arise in

accordance to the complexities of the operations of each Company, which in turn
will demand a particular or special color scheme; however, for the bulk of the
painting jobs currently carried out, it should be sufficient.
