Cleaning and Surface Preparation


7.1

Prior to abrasive cleaning, all oil, grease and other deleterious materials shall be
removed by solvent cleaning in accordance with SSPC SP 1 or by detergent
washing or steam cleaning. No residue that will affect adhesion shall be left on
the surface.
Oven burn-off at a temperature of 370-400C (700-750F) may also be employed,
if, in the opinion of the Vendor, this is the only satisfactory method of ensuring
that the steel is free of oily contaminants. The reported oily contamination shall
be investigated and confirmed by the Buyer's Representative and written approval
shall be obtained from the Buyer prior to burn-off. All pipe and fittings which
have been received with internal mill varnish or other deleterious coatings or have
been in previous oil service shall always be burned off.

7.2

The pipe or fitting surface temperature shall be at least 3C (5F) above the dew
point before and during abrasive blasting until the primer application (if
required) or until start up of pre-heating. If preheating is used, it shall be carried
out in a uniform manner to avoid distortion.

7.3

The surface to be coated shall be abrasive cleaned to a white metal surface finish
equal to Sa3 as described in ISO 8501-1/SIS SS 05 59 00 (1988) or SSPC SP 5.
In case of internal coating of heat exchanger tubes, surface finish shall be
cleaned to Sa2.5 as described in the above standard or SSPC SP10.

7.4

The anchor profile shall be in accordance with the Manufacturer's


recommendations.

7.5

7.4.1

At least one anchor profile measurement shall be taken on one pipe or


fitting every two hours. For pipe, one measurement shall also be taken
every time the diameter changes. All results shall be recorded.

7.4.2

Failure to meet the anchor profile requirement shall require lot narrowing
using the procedure given in paragraph 10.5.1.3.

When defects such as scabs, metal slivers, gouges or laminations are found
following the abrasive cleaning operation, and these defects cannot be repaired
by simple filing or grinding, the affected pipe or fitting shall be set aside for
disposition by the Buyer's Representative.
If this anomaly affects enough of the pipe or fittings so that the coating process
is severely disrupted, the coating process shall be stopped. The Vendor shall
advise the Buyer's Representative of the problem and of any remedial measures
that could be taken to achieve an acceptable coating. The final decision as to

whether the affected pipe or fittings can be coated shall be made by the Vendor
after consultation with the Buyer's Representative.

7.6

Dew Point readings measured in accordance with ASTM E337 shall be recorded
at the start and every 2 hours during the blasting operation in the immediate
vicinity of the operation. Blasting and coating operations shall be suspended if
the substrate temperature is less than 3C above the dew point.

7.7

Any metal surface showing evidence of flash rusting shall be re-blasted prior to
coating.

7.8

The blasted surface of pipes and fittings shall be tested for the presence of
residual chlorides after blasting using a test method that has been prior-approved
in writing by the RSA. Residual chlorides shall be no greater than 40 mg/m.
7.8.1

Test a random location on the first pipe and/or fitting coated on any
given day. After that, test one out of every 50 pipes or 50 fittings.

7.8.2

In the event of a failure, re-test the piece. If it fails the re-test, test all
pieces that were blast cleaned both before and after the contaminated
piece until three in a row pass the test. All pieces coated after the last
good test must be re-blasted, re-tested, and re-coated.

Coating Application
8.1

The coating material shall be applied according to the Vendor's written


application procedure which incorporates the Manufacturer's recommendations.
The Vendor shall submit his application procedure to the RSA for Saudi Aramco
approval prior to application. (Already approved procedures do not require RSA
review and approval on new purchase orders.)

8.2

The total dry film thickness of the coating system shall be defined in accordance
with the Manufacturer's recommendations for each particular service and
operating conditions.

8.3

The range of acceptable shades of color for the cured coating shall be
established prior to production coating. The color and gloss of the cured coating
shall be within the approved range and the cured coating shall be free of blisters
and fish eyes as defined in SSPC Vol. 1. Cosmetic sags, runs, and other noninjurious irregularities are acceptable.

8.4

Pipe and fittings for subsequent welding shall have a cut-back at each welding
end in the range of 50 to 75 mm (2.0 to 3.0 in) measured from the end of the

Bend Test (Applicable only to flexible coatings)


A3.4.1

Two test bars measuring approximately 25 mm x 192 mm x 9.5 mm


(1 in x 8 in x 3/8 in) shall be coated using the surface preparation and
application requirements in this specification.

A3.4.2

The coating thickness shall be measured at 5 locations 25 mm (1 in)


apart on each sample, and the thickness recorded. The average of these
readings shall not be less than 90% of the maximum DFT being
qualified.

A3.4.3

The test bars shall be holiday detected in accordance with this


specification, and all holidays marked and recorded.

The specimens shall be at a temperature of 25C 3C (77F 5F)


when clamped in the bender with the coated side up. The specimens
shall be bent flatwise at 60 deg over a 25.4 mm (1 in) thick shoe of the
following dimensions:
Shoe radius

95.2 mm (3.75 in)

Chord

152 mm (6 in)

Arc

A3.4.5

Bending shall be accomplished in less than 30 seconds.

A3.4.6

The coated specimens shall show no cracks to base metal when


examined at 10X magnification except where gripped or clamped.
If visual examination cannot determine whether a crack extends to base
metal, holiday testing in accordance with this specification shall be
used. If no holidays are signaled, the crack-like defect is acceptable.
