Inspection Details

 Abrasive material test certificates along with FBE powder and primer certificates were reviewed
and found acceptable.
 Climate conditions were checked, and the surface temperature of the substrate was found to be
3C0 above the dew point temperature.
 Blotter test was performed to make sure that there is no sign of oil & moisture.
 Abrasive blast visual inspection was performed as per SSPC-SP 5 or NACE 1 or SA3 and was found
acceptable.
 Surface profile measurement were checked with the help of a profile gauge and the profile range
was within the acceptable range. i.e. 50 µm to 100µm.
 Surface dust level was checked and was found acceptable.
 Surface chloride residues level was checked and deemed acceptable.
 Mixing of the primer was monitored as per the data sheet prior to the application.
 Viscosity of the primer was also checked by the help of viscosity cup number 4 and was found to
be with in the manufacturer’s recommended range.
 Primer application was monitored. DFT was visually checked in such a way that the surface profile
peaks were faintly exposed.
 Pre-heat temperature was randomly checked and was as per manufacturers recommendations.
 Application of FBE powered was randomly checked.
 Final visual inspection of the spools was done, and the surface was found to be uniform in color
and gloss.
 Adhesion X-cut was performed to check the cohesive strength of the applied FBE coating.
 Dry film thickness (DFT) of the final coating was checked and was found to be in the acceptable
range i.e. (15mils-25 mils).

 Holiday test was performed on the spools to ensure that the spools were free from holiday. The
voltage of the detector was 2.2KV.
 Repairs which were smaller in size (≤ 233 cm2) were marked and repaired as per manufacturers
repair material, moreover they were again holiday tested to ensure that there is no holiday
present.
 Stenciling on the spools was checked and was found to be acceptable.
 DSC Analysis documentation was reviewed and were found to be in the acceptable range of -2C0
to +3 C0.
 Bend test was witnessed, and the documents were reviewed.
