2.1.3 To reduce the possibility of contaminating S.S., blasting is not usually specified. However, for
coatings which require a blast cleaned surface for proper adhesion, S.S. may be blast cleaned in
accordance with SSPC-SP 7 using clean aluminum oxide or garnet abrasives. When hand or power tool
cleaning is required on S.S., only S.S. (including 410 S.S.) wire brushes which have not been previously
used on C.S. surfaces may be used.
2.2 Abrasive Blasting
2.2.1 Abrasive blast cleaning shall be performed with a clean sharp grade of abrasive. Grain size shall be
suitable for producing the specified anchor profile. All abrasives shall be free of all dust, dirt, and other
foreign matter. They shall be kept dry at all times and shall NOT be recycled unless specifically permitted
by the Purchaser.
2.2.2 Abrasive blast cleaning shall NOT be performed when the ambient or the substrate temperatures
are less than 5F (3C) above the dew point temperature.
2.2.3 Blast cleaned surfaces which show evidence of rust bloom or that have been left uncoated
overnight shall be recleaned to the specified degree of cleanliness prior to coating.
2.2.4 The blast cleaning air compressor shall be equipped with adequately sized and properly maintained
oil and water separators. The air supply shall be checked for oil and water contamination at the beginning
of each work shift following the procedures of ASTM D4285. The blasting compressor shall be capable of
maintaining 100 psig (7 kPa) minimum at the nozzle.
2.2.5 All blast cleaned surfaces shall be inspected for proper cleaning prior to painting. SSPC-Vis 1 shall
be used as a visual standard for confirming the degree of surface cleanliness, when adequacy of cleaning
is in question.
2.2.6 Galvanized surfaces requiring painting shall be blast cleaned in accordance with SSPC-SP 7 or
given a phosphoric acid pretreatment prior to painting. Vinyl wash primers shall NOT be used.
2.2.7 Concrete shall be allowed to cure a minimum of 30 days prior to start of surface preparation.
a.
Concrete surfaces shall be brush-off blast cleaned until all surface laitance and contamination have
been removed and a slightly etched profile, similar to sand paper, has been attained.
b.
All exposed voids, honeycombing, bug-holes, imperfections, and hair line cracks shall be patched or
repaired using a suitable filler to form a mortar.
c.
All grit and dust shall be removed after blasting and before coating application. Removal shall be by
combination of blowing clean with compressed air followed by a thorough vacuum cleaning with an
industrial grade heavy duty vacuum cleaner.
Vacuum blasting.
Wet jet abrasive blasting.
High pressure water blasting, with or without abrasives.
Power tool cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP 11.
Hand or power tool cleaning in accordance with SSPC-SP 2 or SP 3.
2.3.2 Normally, hand and/or power tool cleaning shall only be used for spot repair where abrasive blasting
is not permitted or is impractical, and on items which could be damaged by abrasive blasting. Power tool
cleaning shall NOT be done with tools which polish the surface (e.g., power wire brushes).

3. APPLICATION
3.1 General
3.1.1 All coating procedures shall be in accordance with SSPC-PA 1, the coating manufacturer's
published data sheets, and application instructions and the requirements contained herein.
3.1.2 Any thinning of coating materials shall be in strict accordance with the coating manufacturer's
product data sheets and application instructions and shall NOT exceed the maximum allowable volatile
organic components (VOC) level for the material involved.
3.1.3 Painting shall NOT take place during adverse weather conditions or when these conditions are
expected prior to the paint drying. Paint may be applied indoors anytime provided the conditions listed
below are not present. Generally, paint shall NOT be applied while any of the following conditions are
present:
a.
Temperature - Ambient, substrate or coating material temperatures are above 120F (49C), below
50F (10C), or outside the range recommended by the coating manufacturer.
b.
Humidity - The ambient or the substrate temperature is less than 5F (3C) above the dew point, or
outside the range recommended by the coating manufacturer.
c.
d.
Weather - During rain, snow, fog, on damp surfaces or surfaces which may have frost.
3.1.4 Each coat of paint shall be of a contrasting color to indicate extent of coverage.
3.1.5 Each coat of multiple coat systems shall be allowed to cure sufficiently in accordance with the
coating manufacturer's directions prior to topcoating. Care shall be taken not to exceed the maximum
recoat time.
3.1.6 The DFT of each coat shall be checked in accordance with the procedures defined by SSPC-PA 2
using a magnetic gage that has been properly calibrated. Coating thickness on S.S. shall be checked
using a Type 2 magnetic gauge suitable for use on non-ferrous substrates. Thickness gauges shall be
adjusted to compensate for the substrate effect, prior to application of any coating.
3.1.7 For field fabricated tanks, preconstruction primers shall be used whenever practical to minimize
corrosion during shipment, storage, and erection. Preconstruction primers shall be completely removed in
the field. However, inorganic zinc preconstruction primers which are in good condition, may be thoroughly
cleaned with high pressure water, brush-off blast cleaned, and the entire coating system field applied.
3.1.8 Packaged equipment and skid mounted units shall be primed and finish painted in the shop.
3.2 Touch-Up
3.2.1 Prior to application of any coat, all damage to the previous coat(s) shall be touched-up. Damage to
finished work shall be thoroughly cleaned and recoated.
3.2.2 Items supplied with the manufacturer's standard coating system shall be touched-up with the same
generic coating system or recoated.
3.2.3 Damaged galvanizing shall be repaired in accordance with ASTM A780 or equivalent procedures.
3.3 Shop versus Field Painting
The extent of shop and field painting will be made early in each project jointly by Engineering,
Procurement and Construction, based on project requirements and other controlling factors such as
schedules, economics, coating materials, site and shop conditions.
