IV. SURFACE PREPARATION

A. New Steel Surfaces:

1. Remove all grease, oil or other surface contaminants in accordance with
SSPC-SP1 and/or high pressure water washing at 2500 psi minimum.

2. All surfaces to be coated shall be grit blasted to a "near white" finish as
defined by SSPC-SP10.

B. Shop Primed Surfaces:

1. Remove all grease, oil or other surface contaminants in accordance with
SSPC-SP1 and/or high pressure water washing at 2500 psi minimum.

2. All weld seams and new steel and areas of coating failure or erection scars
to bare metal, shall be abrasive blasted to a "near white finish" in
accordance with SSPC-SP10. Primer shall be inorganic zinc applied in
accordance with Table 1. Adjacent areas shall be masked to protect
previously primed sections from overblast and overspray.

3. Whenever abrasive blasting is not feasible and the Client approves, all
weld seams, erection scars and areas of coating failure shall be cleaned in
accordance with SSPC SP-11 Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal. Primer
shall be a high build epoxy maintenance primer applied by brush to a dry
film thickness of 3-5 mils for surfaces up to 180 F, Dampney 261-09 for
surfaces 181-500 F and Dampney 245 for surfaces 501- 1000 F.

C. Abrasive blasted surfaces shall have an anchor pattern (surface profile) of the
blasted steel to meet MANUFACTURERS' recommendation.

D. Compressed air blasting abrasive shall be a silica free material and be free of all
dust, dirt, salts and other foreign material. The abrasive shall be kept dry at all
times and shall not be reused. For centrifugal wheel blasting, S230 or S280 steel
shot shall be mixed with G-40 grit to obtain sharp, angular G-4 profile.

E. All compressed air used for sandblasting or painting shall be free of oil and
moisture. Suitable aftercoolers, air filters and traps shall be installed on all
sandblasting and spray-painting pots. The air will be filtered and cleaned to the


Polaris
Engineering
Standard
1400.1
Rev.: 6
Date: 01/19/05
Page: 6 of 17


degree that contaminants still present in the filtered air, such as moisture, oil,
dust or other foreign particles, will pass the white blotter test. To test for the
presence of contaminants, an 8-1/2" x 11" white blotter shall be held 18 inches
from the air supply for a period of two minutes prior to the start of each
operation. Only minimal contaminants shall be visible on the blotter at the end
of this test. Compressed air shall be supplied at a minimum nozzle pressure of
90 psig (as measured by a needle gauge), or as determined by the equipment
being used and the material being applied.

F. Surfaces cleaned by sandblasting shall be primed as soon as practicable, but no
later than the end of the same working day and before any visible rusting occurs.
Any steel not primed as noted above shall be re-blasted.

G. The blasting and painting sequence shall be planned to prevent dusting and
contamination of freshly coated surfaces.

H. The sandblasted or cleaned surface shall be rendered dust-free prior to the
application of the primer. This can be accomplished by blowing off the surface
with clean, dry air or by using an industrial vacuum cleaner.

V. GALVANIZING

A. The galvanizing of ladders, ladder cages, platform steel, handrails and all
necessary bolting for these surfaces shall conform to the following ASTM
Standards:

1. ASTM A 123 Specification for Zinc (Hot-Dip Galvanized)

members over 1/8 inch thick)

2. ASTM A 1536 Specification for Zinc Coating (Hot-Dip) on Iron
and Steel Hardware (anchor bolts and bolts, nuts
and washers used for general structural bolting)

3. ASTM A 325 Specification for High-Strength Bolts for Structural
Steel Joints (bolts, nuts and washers used for high-
strength structural bolting)

4. ASTM A 525 Specification for General Requirements for Steel
Sheet, Zinc Coated (Galvanized) by the Hot-Dip
Process (structural steel members or steel sheet less
than 1/8 inch thick in accordance with coating
Class G 235)

B. A good fit of zinc coated fasteners is required. To assure a good fit any or all of
the following operations shall be performed:

1. Threads in nuts for general structural or high strength bolting shall be
tapped over size after galvanizing in accordance with ASTM A 563.

2. Bolt threads shall be cleaned of excess zinc by cutting, rolling or finish
tooling as required.

3. Washers shall be separated and reamed out when necessary to assure a
good fit over the bolt.

C. Hot dipped galvanized surfaces which have been field welded, burned, or
damaged in any way, shall be power tool cleaned and touched up with two coats
of a high build epoxy primer. The minimum dry film thickness of the primer
coating shall be 6 mils.

D. When service conditions dictate, the Painting Schedule will specify the coating
of galvanized steel components. In these cases, coatings shall be applied in
accordance with Table 1 System XIII or an alternate where specified.

VI. APPLICATION OF COATINGS

A. Except where this Standard provides otherwise coatings shall be applied in
accordance with the Manufacturer's recommendations.

B. Coatings may be applied by spray, brush or roller using Manufacturer's
recommended equipment and approved by the Client, however, regardless of
Manufacturer's recommendations, inorganic zinc coatings shall be applied by
spray, with properly agitated equipment over an abrasive blasted (SSPC-SP10)
surface.

C. Spray painting will only be permitted when conditions permit and the Client
approves after the following have been considered.

1. When weather conditions, including wind speed and direction are
favorable.
2. Adjacent or downwind equipment is protected from overspray.

Engineering
Standard
1400.1
Rev.: 6
Date: 01/19/05
Page: 8 of 17


4. The type of coating dictates the need for spraying.

D. Surfaces shall not be painted during wet, damp or foggy weather; when the
relative humidity is over 85%; when the metal surface temperature is less than
5F above the dew point or whenever the Client judges the conditions are not
favorable. Paint shall not be applied when the metal surface or ambient
temperature is below 50F or above 110F unless specifically approved by the
Manufacturer as being acceptable and Client approves.

E. Paint shall not be applied when the ambient temperature is expected to drop
below 32F before the coating has had time to cure.

F. Paint shall not be applied when extremely windy or dusty conditions exist.

G. The Manufacturer's recommendations for thinning, mixing, handling and
application of the products are considered a part of this Standard.

H. Equipment and piping may be painted before the hydrostatic test (hydrotest);
however, all field joints, welds and threaded connections may be primed only,
with inorganic zinc, until the test has been completed and approved by the
Client. In cases where piping is painted before hydrostatic test (hydrotest) each
successive coat of paint will be stopped two inches before the preceding coat at
each joint to allow for proper tie-in of subsequent coats.

I. Pipe flanges with an operating temperature less than 180F shall be caulked with
a polyurethane caulk prior to the application of the final coat.

J. Pipe flanges with an operating temperature of 181F to 500F shall be caulked
with Dow Corning 732 silicone caulking compound after the final paint coat has
been applied.

K. All coatings shall be uniformly applied to form a smooth continuous film free of
sags, runs, spots or other blemishes. Weld seams, edges, crevices, nuts, and
threaded studs shall be striped by brush to assure complete coverage without
holidays.

L. Prior to the application of any coat, all damage done to the previous coat shall be
touched up with the corresponding specified coating. If an entire system is
damaged after completion of the finish coat, then the damaged area shall be re-
blasted and refinished with the entire system.

other substances which might affect intercoat adhesion, shall be cleaned in
accordance with Section IV. A. 1.

VII. MATERIAL

A. Primer and topcoats shall be as specified in Table 1.

B. Primers (whether shop or field applied) and topcoats for any given application
shall be compatible materials.

C. It is recommended that paint be purchased in five gallon pails rather than 55
gallon drums, to facilitate handling in the field. Drums may be used when
painting large areas such as tanks.

D. Paint shall be stored in a well-ventilated area due to its flammability. This
storage area must be kept clean and free from any accumulation of partially
filled paint containers, oily waste, rags, etc.

E. When paint is stored for any length of time, the containers shall be turned per the
Manufacturer's recommendations to prevent undue settlement of the pigments.
All paint stocks shall be rotated to utilize old material first (first in/first out).
Manufacturer's shelf life limits shall be strictly followed.

F. All containers shall be tightly covered at all times to prevent skinning of the
surface. If skinning does occur, it shall be removed before stirring. If necessary,
paint from partially filled containers shall be strained before being applied to
remove foreign matter which may be present.

VIII. CLEANLINESS

A. Sufficient drop cloths, shields and other protective devices shall be used to
prevent spray or drops from fouling surfaces not being painted.

B. Empty containers, saturated rags and waste shall be removed from the work area
at the end of each day and disposed of properly to ensure that the possibility of
combustion is eliminated. Waste paint and solvent shall be disposed of in
accordance with CLIENT Procedure 4217 Refinery Waste Handling Procedure
(Environmental Procedure #S001) and CLIENT Procedure 0171 Satelite
Accumulation Procedure (Environmental Procedure #S-004).

surfaces which have been marred, oversprayed or spotted, shall be cleaned or
repaired to restore them to their original condition.

E. Masking tape and other protective covers shall be completely removed after
completion of painting.

IX. INSPECTION

A. The Contractor is responsible for providing inspection to assure that the
requirements of this standard are met. The Client or Client's Representative
may, at his discretion, inspect the work at any stage of completion. Inspection
for final acceptance will be done by the Client or Client's representative.

B. Inspection Hold points - There will be an inspection hold point between each
phase of the work (surface preparation, prime coat, intermediate coat, finish
coat etc.) where the Contractor's inspector and the Client's inspector shall both
have an opportunity to inspect all portions of the work in progress. Any
deficiencies found during either the Contractor's or Clients inspection shall be
corrected before work proceeds to the next step of the operation. Contractor
shall make all parts of the work accessible to the Client or Client's
Representative to perform inspections.

C. The film thickness of each coating shall be checked by each of the following
methods:

1. Immediately after application, wet film thickness readings shall be taken
with a wet film thickness gauge.

2. After curing, film thicknesses of each coat shall be measured by the
procedure described in SSPC-PA2

D. Contractor will provide the Client with a daily schedule detailing where all
painting activities are being performed and will give as much notice as is
practical to schedule inspections so as not to interfere with the flow of the
Contractors work.

E. The Contractor shall provide daily Coating reports using the form shown in
Appendix A or an approved alternate for all areas being worked on. Contractor
shall also provide a Summary Coating Report for every major piece of
equipment (Drums, Towers, Vessels, Exchangers, Pumps etc..) upon

Notes:
1. If steel under fireproofing is galvanized delete primer and apply finish only.
2. If the galvanizing is weathered surface preparation should be a light SSPC-SP7, with a spot prime coat to corroded areas, intermediate and finish as shown. If the galvanizing is in shiny new condition then the ace
surface preparation will be SSPC-SP1 followed by a prime coat of Dampney Endcor 400 Wash Primer at 0.25-0.33 mils DFT followed by Intermediate and Finish coats as above.
3. Finish coat (Steelmaster 9500) thickness in excess of the recommended maximumwill slow final cure considerably. Care should be exercised to avoid excess filmthickness, especially when applying Steelmaster
9500 by airless spray. 9500 by airless spray.
4. When applying Epolon Mastic by brush or roller, two coats will be necessary to obtain the required coating thickness.
