1.0 GENERAL
Painting is the most commonly used application for corrosion prevention both for external
corrosion as well as internal corrosion.
HPCL, Mumbai Refinery has a customized painting specification for all its equipment, piping and
structural. This painting specification is periodically reviewed by Inspection Division of the
Refinery to take care of the latest developments and requirements.
As part of the periodical review of the specification, a study was conducted during Jul-Aug,
2011 to review the existing practices vis--vis current industrial practices and to study the
available products with reputed painting manufacturers for more effectiveness and durability of
the painting systems used in the Refinery.
Based on the study findings, a detailed presentation was made in the Refinery weekly PRM
meeting dated 11/08/2011 prior to formal revision of the existing specification.
Basis the study results and the discussions during the presentation in PRM, the following
revised painting specification is being released for implementation at HPCL, Mumbai Refinery.

2.0 SCOPE
This specification is applicable only on metallic surfaces within HPCL, Mumbai Refinery.
Scope of work covered in this specification shall include, but not limited to the following:
1. Surface preparation
2. Selection and application of painting on:
A) Equipment
B) Piping
C) Steel structures
D) Storage Tanks
E) High temperature surfaces (Furnace Casings, Stacks, etc.)
The following surfaces and materials shall not be painted unless otherwise specified by
Inspection through specific recommendation:

5.0 APPLICATION PROCEDURES

A. SURFACE PREPARATION
1)

2)

In order to achieve the maximum durability, one or more of following methods of

surface preparation shall be followed, depending on condition of steel surface and as
instructed by Inspection Engineer-in-charge. Adhesion of the paint film to surface
depends largely on the degree of cleanliness of the metal surface. Proper surface
preparation contributes more to the success of the paint protective system:
a.

Manual or Hand tool cleaning

b.

Mechanical or Power tool cleaning

c.

Blast cleaning

Mill scale, rust, rust scale and foreign matter shall be removed fully to ensure that a
clean and duty and dry surface is obtained. The minimum acceptable standard in case
of manual or hand tool cleaning shall be St.2 or equivalent, in case of mechanical or
power tool cleaning it shall be St.3 or equivalent, in case of blast cleaning it shall be
Sa2 or equivalent as per Swedish Standard SIS-055900-1967 / ISO-8501-1-1988.
Where highly corrosive conditions exist, and then blast cleaning shall be Sa3 as per
Swedish Standard.
Remove all other contaminants, oil, grease etc. by use of an aromatic solvent prior to
surface cleaning.

3)

Blast cleaning shall not be performed where dust can contaminate surfaces undergoing
such cleaning or during humid weather conditions having humidity exceeding 85%.

4)

Irrespective of the method of surface preparation, the first coat of primer must be
applied on dry surface. This should be done immediately and in any case within 4 hours
of cleaning of surface. However, at times of unfavorable weather conditions, the
Engineer-in-charge shall have the liberty to control the time period, at his sole discretion
Page 4 of 17

and/or to insist on re-cleaning, as may be required, before primer application is taken

up. In general, during unfavorable weather conditions, blasting and painting shall be
avoided as far as practicable.
5)

Mechanical or Power tool cleaning: Power tool cleaning shall be done by mechanical
striking tools, chipping hammers, grinding wheels or rotating steel wire-brushes.
Excessive burnish of surface shall be avoided as it can reduce paint adhesion. On
completion of cleaning, the detached rust mill scale etc. shall be removed by clean rags
and/or washed by water or steam and thoroughly dried with compressed air jet before
application of paint.

6)

Manual or Hand tool cleaning: Manual or hand tool cleaning is used only where safety
problems limit the application of other surface preparation procedure and hence does
not appear in the specifications of paint systems.
Hand tool cleaning normally consists of the following:
a. Hand descaling and/or hammering
b. Hand scraping
c. Hand wire brushing

6)

Water cleaning: Water blasting shouldbe used for surface preparation method where
water is available in sufficient quantity. The water used shall be inhibited with Sodium
chromate/phosphate.

7)

Water mopping: Fresh water mopping (maximum chloride content 50 ppm) shall be
carried out on Salt Water spray areas, before application of primer, to remove the salts
deposited on metal surface. Mopping can be repeated before application of other
coats to remove salts deposited on previous coats, if such deposits are suspected.

B. COATING APPLICATION
1)

Surface shall not be coated in rain, wind or in environment where injurious airborne
elements exists, when the Steel surface temperature is less than 5oF above dew point,
when the relative humidity is greater than 85% or when the temperature is below 40oF.

2)

Blast cleaned surface shall be coated with one complete application of primer as soon as
practicable but in no case later than 4 hourson the same day.

3)

To the maximum extent practicable, each coat of material shall be applied as a

continuous film uniform thickness free of probes. Any spots or areas missed in
application shall be recoated and permitted to dry before the next coat is applied.
Applied paint should have the desired wet film thickness.
Page 5 of 17

4)

Each coat shall be in proper state of cure or dryness before the application of
succeeding coat. Material shall be considered dry for recoating when an additional coat
can be applied without the development of any detrimental film irregularities, such as
lifting or loss of adhesion of the under coat. Manufacturers instruction shall be followed
for inter-coat interval.

5)

When the successive coat of the same color have been specified, alternate coat shall be
tinted, when practical, sufficiently to produce enough contrast to indicate complete
coverage of the surface. The tinting material shall be compatible with the material and
not detrimental to its service life.

7)

Airless spray application shall be in accordance with the following procedure: As per
Steel structure Paint Manual Vol.1 & Vol.2 by SSPC, USA, Airless spray relies on hydraulic
pressure rather than air atomization to produce the desired spray. An Air Compressor
or Electric Motor is used to operate a Pump to produce pressure of 1,000 to 6,000 psi.
Paint is delivered to the Spray Gun at this pressure through a single hose within the Gun,
a single paint stream is divided into separate streams, which are forced through a small
orifice resulting in atomization of paint without the use of air. This results in more rapid
coverage with less overspray. Airless spray usually is faster, cleaner, more economical
and easier to use than conventional air spray.

8)

Guidelines for painting Color Bands: Color Bands shall be applied at following locations:
a. At battery limit points
b. Intersection points and change of direction points in piping ways
c. Other points such as midway of each piping way, near valves, junction points of
service appliances, walls, and on either side of Pipe Culverts
d. For long stretch/yard piping at 50 meters interval
e. At start and terminating points
f. Flow directions shall be indicated by an Arrow in the flow direction. Colors of Arrows
shall be Black or White and in contract to the color on which they are superimposed.
g. Size of Arrows or minimum width of Color band shall be as follows:
Nominal Pipe Size
3 NB and below
Above 3 NB up to 6 NB
Above 8 NB up to 12 OD

Width of Band
25 mm
50 mm
75 mm
Page 6 of 17

Common types of defects that shall be repaired during paint maintenance are:

Mechanical damage
Welding damage
Scaffolding erection damage
Peel off
Blistering
Wrinkle marks
Adhesion failure
Discoloration
Edge separation
Edge fracture
Weathering

Inspector shall be considered.
Partial or complete removal and repair of damaged section shall be done in consultation
with the Manufacturer.

7.0 FREQUENCY OF PAINTING SYSTEM

Following painting system frequency shall be followed:
3 years: For surfaces painted by blasting as surface preparation 3 years guarantee.

Applicator/Manufacturer should carry out repair painting of paint damage area free of
cost.
Final decision for complete or partial repainting shall be taken by Inspection
Engineer.Maintenance shall be ready to take up the required painting work at short
notice.
