specified allowed by EMEPMI, the water shall be mixed with a compatible rust inhibitors
(corrosion inhibitor) to delay flash rust from appearing on the wet blasted surfaces.
Dry blast cleaning operations shall not be conducted on surfaces that will be wet after blasting
and before painting can be accomplished. If relative humidity is greater than 85% (or steel
temperature is 3oC above dew point), EMEPMI permission to blast shall be obtained.
All surfaces applied with a conventional shop primer shall be reblasted completely to the
required surface standards prior to full coating application. Where surfaces are "shop primed"
with an Inorganic Zinc Primer, the primed surfaces may be spot and swept blasted to remove
any rusting prior to full coating application. However, all shop primed surfaces shall be blasted
and removed completely for the full application of an inorganic zinc primer system, glassflake
coatings, high temperature and any special coatings system.
7.5 Surfaces that are blast cleaned but not coated the same day shall be swept blast clean to a
bright finish before coating.
7.6 In areas or on specified equipment where open blasting is not permitted or not possible, metal
conditioning chemicals (e.g. phosphatizing or etching compounds) or other dust-minimizing
techniques may be used with the approval of EMEPMI's representative.
7.7 All fabrication and welding (including the welding of pipe hangers and supports) on new
construction shall be completed before surface preparation begins. Exceptions to allow
blasting and priming of structural members prior to fabrication must have approval from
EMEPMI's representative.
7.8 Welded areas shall be given special attention for the removal of welding flux, particularly
where crevices are formed by the resultant piping or structural arrangement. Welding spatter,
silvers, laminations and underlying mill scale exposed during blast cleaning shall be removed or
repaired. Bolt holes shall be ground smooth prior to blast cleaning. All sheared and sharp
edges shall be slightly rounded (1 mm) by grinding prior to the application of any coating
system. Contractor is responsible for the removal of the above unacceptable surface
condition.
7.9 All pumps, engines, electric motors, sight glass frames, and fire extinguishers shall be solvent
cleaned (SP1), removing all oil or grease and receive a final wiping with a clean rag and
solvent so as not to leave an oil film. Hand tool cleaning (SP2) or power tool cleaning (SP3)
may be employed to remove rust, loose coating or scaling.
7.10 Blast methods which minimize interferences with other operations may be required at times
(e.g., water-injected blast cleaning equipment, vacuum blast units, mechanical rotor blast
wheels, etc.). EMEPMI written approval is required prior to use.
7.11 For coated areas requiring repair, they shall be spot blasted to SP10 surface and shall be
feathered into the surrounding intact coating. If an area of intact coating cannot be located
while feathering, all coating shall be removed. Powered feathering devices shall not be used.
All repaired areas shall be kept as square as possible at all times during progression of work.
7.12 All spent abrasives shall be removed from the deck and skids daily and shall be packed for
disposal. Vacuum equipment shall be used to remove abrasive from congested skids and

TEST PANEL PAINT TRIAL
1. The project test panel paint trial are conducted to check and test Contractor compliance and
to demonstrate that the coating procedures, equipment and craftsmanship satisfy this
specification and meet coatings manufacturer requirement. The paint trial shall be witnessed
by a Company Representative and coating manufacturer.
2. All observations, data and test results of the paint trial shall be documented (pre-approved
agreed format) which shall include information such as coating Contractor, type of cleaning
and surface standards, generic coatings materials, manufacturers and product brand names,
batch number, blasting/painting environmental conditions, test results, etc.
3. For each generic coatings system, a minimum of 1 test panel, measuring 1 sq.m. area, shall be
prepared and surface cleaned to the requirement stated in this specification. Upon completion
of surface cleaning, the top 200 mm of the test panel shall be protected with a clear vanish.
The remaining area should then be coated with the appropriate primer and the succeeding
coats should be applied as prescribed in this specification. However, for each succeeding
coats an approximately 200 mm width should be expose of the preceding coat.
4. All coated test panels shall be retained at the site office and shall be used as visual guide to the
cleaning and coating standards.
5. The following testing shall be conducted.

- Visual Inspection shall be carried on each individual coat and complete coating system
listing the appearance of the coating. The coating shall be free of run, pinholes,
cracking, blistering, sagging, crater, dry spray and over spray.
- Surface Profile height shall be spot check and documented using an approved surface
profile gauge (e.g. Elcometer 123).
- Film Thickness Measurement for both wet film thickness and dry film thickness shall be
conducted during all coating application sequences (individual coats and specified total
dry film thickness). DFT measurement shall comply to SSPC-PA2.
- Adhesion Test shall be perform in accordance to ASTM D4541 Standard test method
for pull-off strength of coating using potable adhesion tester for coating total DFT
above 200 microns and for coating DFT less then 200 microns (mainly reference to
single pack coatings), the cross-cut technique, and the use of pressure sensitive
adhesive tapes to the cut surface (ASTM D3359 Standard test method for measuring
adhesion by tape test) shall be used.
- Holiday testing shall be conducted as per NACE RP0188 standard.
- Discontinuity (Holiday) Testing of Protective Coatings on all coatings to be checked for
holidays (voids in the coating).
- Oven Test shall be conducted on High Temperature Coating System. This is to ensure
that the proposed coating system meet the specified temperature range without any
coating failure.
