1- Purpose
This procedure establishes the requirements for surface preparation & coating (painting)
activities, which need to be carried out to coat the project components

2- Scope
This surface preparation & coating (painting) procedure for piping & Its supports

3- Procedure
References:
1- Surface preparation and painting specification
4- Paint supplier technical data sheet.

A) Application sequence:
A.1 Protection:
Protection of items that will not be blasted or painted from damage or from paint over spray
by adequate temporary covering such as canvas or plastic sheets during all operations, the
surfaces that may need protection are:
1. The surface that are not to be painted (non-ferrous metals, machine surfaces, flange
faces, glass, valves, inside surface of pipes, etc.)
2. Previously painted surfaces (finished painted surfaces)
3. Adjacent structures or steel

A.2 Surface preparation:

A.2.1 Abrasive Blasting / power tools
A.2.1.1 Pre blast / power tools
1. Oil, grease will be removed with detergent or solvent cleaner washing with high
pressure fresh water then drying with compressed air.
2. Weld slag, spatter, and any foreign bodies shall be removed by suitable hand tools
3. All surface imperfections of substrate detected before or during surface preparation
shall be removed with suitable power tools according to project specification
requirements.

A.2.1.2 Blasting/ power tools Preparation

1. Abrasive blasting for the complete structure shall take place or Power Tool
Preparation to reach the required surface according to the data sheet of the paint which
applied.

A.3 Coating:
A.3.1 Coating Application
1- Painting application must be done in a good weather conditions .
1- Repair of defects area, which will occur due to welding, handling, transportations,
burning, must be repaired first before subsequent coat application.

2- Manually surface preparation between coats by hand brushing maybe required to

ensure that the surface is free from any contamination (dust, over spray …etc.)
3- An extra coat of paint for some areas may be needed when the applied thickness are
not matching with the required thickness in the specification.
4- Generally, washing, drying, checking of thickness must be done between the
applications of coats.

A.3.2 Mixing and Thinning

1- Two pack paints must mixed carefully in accordance with the paint supplier
recommendation for any thinning and any curing time
2- Paints applied by brush shall be thinned with the approval of the paint supplier
representative permission for the amount and type of thinner.

A.3.3 Repair for defects area:

1- Washing with fresh water to remove contamination, white rust.
2- Repair for defects area by suitable tool (abrasive blasting, power tool cleaning, power
brushing, hand tool, etc.) with an overlap about “25 mm “into the adjoining coated
surface.
3- Smoothing edges between repaired areas and old coating then complete the
consecutive coats according to the painting supplier recommendations for the repair
system.
4- In case of insufficient thickness coating surface shall be cleaned from foreign matter
or contamination then prepared as before then applied paint system by spray or brush
until the specified thickness is achieved.
A.3.4 Stripe coating:
1- Used in small or narrow areas which can’t be reached using airless spray
2- Used in small edges and welds of the structure to ensure a sufficient thickness of the
paint had been applied.
3- Generally the brush used for the stripe coating must be cleaned, dry and free from any
contamination
A.3.5 Restrictions:
1- Different paint colors shall be used between subsequent coats.
2- Paint supplier technical and safety data sheet must be followed in order to have a safe
and a good quality work.

B-QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAMME-INSPECTION TEST PLAN

B.1 Equipment:
 Visual check for airless machine
 Visual check for blasting pots & hoses.

B.2 Storage:
 Painting cans shall be kept tightly secured.
 Well air conditioned storage & free flowing & ventilation or forced temperature not to
exceed paint manufacturers recommendation
 All painting materials will be received with a certificate of conformity from the paint
supplier as per painting supplier documentation.
 Check safety precaution (fire distinguishes, warning signs, no naked flames or
smoking ………)
 Personal handling paint or thinner to wear appropriate personal protecting equipment.

C-INSPECTION PROGRAMME
C .1 Preliminary inspections:
 Check certificates & batch identification for paint.
 Check storage condition.
 Confirm paint system as specification.
 Confirm application method according to paint supplier.
 Check blasting media data sheets (chemically, grade, size,)

C .2 Inspection test during application:

 Check for degree of surface cleaning ISO 8504-2.
 Inspection of surface roughness ISO-8503-1, ISO-8503-2.
 Check of wet paint film thickness.
 Measuring of dry film thickness.
 Confirm overcoat interval according to requirements of the paint supplier data sheet.
 Check washing between subsequent coats according to the project specification
requirements and paint supplier data sheet.

C .3 Inspections after application:

 Visual inspection.
 D.F.T. measuring total thickness.

E-Safety
Following the safety procedures

The following instructions:-

1. The manufacturers' safety data sheets on coating materials to be applied shall be
obtained and shall be made continuously available at the work place. The
manufacturers' instructions on handling and storage shall be followed. Flammable
products, thinners, etc., are to be stored away from combustible materials and all
precautions taken to avoid creating a fire explosion and hazard.
