Appendix A Test for Surface Condition

Note: This optional test will help identify surface condition problems for coating operations.
1. The following test for surface condition shall be carried out on the first 10 pipes of the first
day’s production:
a. Preheat pipe surface to 158°F (70°C).
b. Blast each pipe to SSPC-SP 10 using steel grit, typically BS EN ISO 11124-2 G17 grade
or equivalent.
c. Heat each pipe to 464°F (240°C) and cool in water to simulate the coating process.
2. Each pipe shall then be visually inspected.
a. The surface condition of the pipes shall be such that a coating Supplier using a
single-pass grit blasting system can achieve a blast profile of 0.002–0.004 inches
(50–100 microns).
b. The total number of defects shall be able to be removed in no more than three
man-minutes per pipe using a handheld grinder.
c. If pipe manufacturer is contracted or responsible for line pipe coating, this test may be
omitted.

Appendix B Data Sheet

Note: PPL-DS-1051 shall be completed as a separate document. However, the template is
illustrated in Figure 1 for awareness.
