Rollers shall be used for painting extensive flat, cylindrical and spherical areas of considerable
radius of curvature, except where inorganic silicate base paints are being used.
Paint shall be applied in parallel runs, starting from the upper part of the structure, and with the
next stroke being given crosswise to the previous one.
REMARK: Irregular portions of the surface or those that cannot be reached with the roller shall be
painted by paintbrush or by spray gun.
Two (2) adjacent strips of the same coat of paint shall be overlapped a minimum of 5cm.
Paint shall be applied in all cases so that the film does not display blisters, tearing the previous
coat or impregnation with hairs falling off the roller.
8.3. CONVENTIONAL SPRAY GUN

in accordance with the kind of paint that is being sprayed.
The air pressure on the paint in the tank shall be adjusted whenever necessary so as to offset
variations in the height at which the spray gun is raised above the tank.
Air pressure in the spray gun shall be high enough to atomize the paint but not so high as to
cause excessive misting, excessive evaporation of solvent or losses due to excessive
pulverization.
During application the spray gun shall be held perpendicular to the surface and at a constant
distance such as ensures the depositing of a damp coat of paint, and the paint shall impinge on
the surface still in the form of a spray.
This method of application shall not be used in places subject to strong wind or on extremely
thin structures, which would lead to a great wastage of paint.
8.4. AIRLESS SPRAY GUN

over total area. A finish shall be obtained corresponding to at least one of the Sa 2
illustrations in standard ISO 8501-1 or WJ2 from NACE SSPC-SP12. For surface tolerant,
solvent free paint systems, when using abrasive air blasting for surface profile, clean the
surface with water jet prior before the application of first coat.
The maximum acceptable water-soluble salts on abrasive blasted surfaces before paint
application, measured according ISO 8502 Parts 1 to 10: Preparation of steel substrates
before application of paints and related products. - Test for the assessment of surface
cleanliness, shall be according to Table 3.
Roughness profile must be between 30-75m.

Attend pre-job and other similar meetings with OSX representative, VENDORs Coating Supervisor
and Quality Control Representative;
Provide field guidance and personnel instruction during stage of blasting and coating application
operations;
Provide periodic inspection of work and provide written, auditable reports regarding compliance
with procedures and any operational improvements that could be made.
The Paint Manufacturer shall supply ample and continuous survey of the surface preparation, paint and
protective layer application, its Supervisor absence being forbidden in any stage of the surface treatment
and/or vessel painting.
All surfaces shall be surveyed by VENDORs Quality Control Representative, Paint
Manufacturer Supervisor and OSX Inspectors before the painting starts, between the coating and after the
end. To allow these surveys the VENDOR shall provide safe conditions and suitable light for all treated or
painted parts.
Daily inspection reports shall be prepared and maintained by VENDOR. This report, signed by Quality
Control Representative and Paint Manufacturers Supervisor, shall be handed over to OSX for approval.
The reports shall indicate the items blasted and coated, surface preparation grade, roughness profile, dry
layer thickness of each coating, adhesion level of finished coatings, holiday detector test voltage, materials
used, including batch numbers, location, and outcome of inspections. Defects shall include those identified
in this specification and SSPC volume 1, Chapter 23, Causes and Prevention of Paint Failure. The
reports shall also indicate ambient relative humidity, dew point temperature, air temperature, and steel
surface temperature before starting paintwork and during the course of day.
All inspection and quality parameter will comply with the requirements described in VENDORs Painting
Inspection and Quality Standard that shall be submitted to OSX approval.
The VENDOR shall submit to OSX approval the methods of control and repair of damages to the coating
caused by block assembly, burn etc.
The works specified here shall not start before OSX, Paint Manufacturer an VENDOR Supervisors have
mutually agreed upon the areas to be degreased, labor, scraped and blasted.
11.2. Paints
For each batch of paint received, VENDOR shall compare the results of the quality certificate issued by the
manufactures with the paint specification.
11.3. Surface Preparation
VENDOR shall make visual examination to be sure surface is free from dust, oil, rusted areas and other
foreign matter. VENDOR shall compare the surface with the degree of cleanliness specified in the painting
scheme, based ISO-8501-1 standard.
11.4. Profile of roughness
The roughness profile shall be determined with a needle rugosimeter with a level of precision of 5 micra.
Frequency of measurement shall be one reading per hour of blasting and after change in nozzle pressure,
abrasive type or abrasive size.

VENDOR shall measure the relative humidity of the air and the ambient and surface temperatures before
starting paint work. Repeat the measurements during the course of the day, whenever environmental
changes such as wind, fog and temperature drops occur.
11.6. Film
VENDOR shall examine each film of paint (during application and after exposure) to make sure the work is
devoid of the following kinds of defects: sagging, swelling, wrinkling, cracking, blistering, cratering,
impregnation with abrasive and/or foreign matter, peeling off, oxidation and/or corrosion, inclusion of hairs
and pores.
Wet film thickness measurements shall be taken at frequent intervals during the application process.
11.7. Adhesion
11.7.1. The adhesion test is essentially a destructive test, so the painted surface, where test is
done, must be repainted or retouched.
11.7.2. As an alternative to testing adhesion to the failure point, the tests can be interrupted when
the minimum specified adhesion value is achieved. This method precludes the need to repair
coatings damaged by the test. The adherent pull stubs can then be removed by heating
(without damaging the paint system) to soften the adhesive.
11.7.3. Sampling shall be done according the instructions below:
For piping: Each sample area comprises 250 meters length intervals or fraction, along the
entire piping run,
For equipments and structures: The sample area comprises each 250m
2
or fraction of
painted surfaces of one equipment or structure.
Each adhesion test shall be done according the instructions below:
In the sample painted area, bond pull-stub to the coating surface with adhesive and allow it
to cure thoroughly. When it cured, carry out the adhesion test. If the test result shows lack
of adhesion, the test shall be repeated at two points diametrically opposite, 1 meter away
from the point of the previous test.
If the other two tests display no lack of adhesion, the sample area is approved by the
adhesion test. In this case the adjacent initially tested area shall be re-applied (a circle of
0,2m radius centered where pull-stub was bonded), with the areas of the subsequent tests
areas being retouched.
If both of them display a lack of adhesion, the sample painted area failed in the adhesion
test and must be entirely re-applied.
If one of the two tests (see item a)) displays a lack of adhesion, another two points
diametrically opposite the failed point test must be tested. If one of the additional two tests
displays a lack of adhesion, the sample painted area failed in the adhesion test and must
be entirely repainted.
If both adhesion tests mentioned in item d) display no lack of adhesion, the sample area is
approved by the adhesion test. In this case the failed tested areas shall be re-applied (a
circle of 0,2m radius centered where pull-stub was bonded), with the areas of the
subsequent tests areas being retouched.
11.8. Dry Film Thickness
Measure the thickness at intervals of 25 meters or fraction, along the entire piping run.
For huge areas, measure the thickness on every 100 m or fraction of surface of the
equipment.
Dry film thickness gauges shall be calibrated daily using certified calibration plates.

11.9. Discontinuities
The test to determine discontinuities shall be made after the last coat finish paint.
The test to determine discontinuity shall be made in the scheme to be applied for
temperatures lower than 80C.
After the application of last coating on the external hull, a film continuity control shall be
carried out through the porosity detector (holiday detector) being a new coating mandatory
when a discontinuity is detected.
Wet sponge 67 volt holiday detectors shall be used for film thickness of 500 micra or less.
High voltage DC holiday detectors, equipped with a flexible brush electrode and set to a
suitable voltage shall be used for film thickness exceeding 500 micra. The test voltage for high
voltage holiday detection shall be calculated by multiplying the minimum coating thickness
(micra) specified by 4.
The holiday detector tests shall be witnessed by OSX inspectors.

If the test displays lack of adhesion, the test shall be repeated at two points diametrically opposite, 1 meter
away from the point of the previous test.
If the two tests display no lack of adhesion, the sample shall be withdrawn and the paint film from the
adjacent initially tested area shall be re-applied, with the areas of the subsequent tests being retouched.
If one of the two tests or both of them displays a lack of adhesion, proceed in line with item
Preparation of Surface.
After 3 consecutive tests, according to Preparation of Surface, the test shall be repeated in a different
region, and if the problem continues to occur, the entire paint work corresponding to this inspection shall be
rejected.
The adhesion test shall be done on complete applied and fully cured paint system (after the specified last
coat). For St 3 (ISO 8501-1) surface preparation, wet or dry, the minimum acceptable is 12 MPa - Adhesive
Failure + A/B - ASTM D-4541 A.4. For hydro blasting or dry blasting surface preparation the minimum
acceptable is 15,0 Mpa Y, failure on the adhesive that secures the loading fixture, or Z, failure related to
the top coat.
12.6. Dry Film Thickness
Areas in which the reduction of thickness per coat is less than 10% are acceptable provided the affected
area does not exceed 10% of the overall surface.

ANNEX C TEST CONDITIONS
C.1. The test cupons shall be conditioned prior to the test at (25 2) C and (50 5) % relative
humidity for a minimum of 48 h before testing, and the test shall be performed within 30 min after
removal from that standard atmosphere.
C.2. The climatic conditions during the test shall be a temperature of (25 2) C.
C.3. Wet the paint surface by using a glycerol solution with a viscosity of (0,2 0,1) Pas {(200 100)
cP}. At 25 C this corresponds to an aqueous solution containing a mass fraction of
approximately 86,6 % TO 93,7 % (SEE TABLE C.1).
NOTE: As a solution containing a mass fraction of approximately 90 % glycerol is hygroscopic in air with a
relative humidity of more than 32 %, it is advisable to renew the solution layer on the testing surface
frequently during prolonged testing sessions if the relative humidity of the surrounding air exceeds 32 %.
The concentration of the glycerol needs to be checked regularly, e.g. by measuring the refractive index.
