gratings, bolts, nuts with operating temperature
up to 120 °C when painting is required.
Coating system no. 6C: Sweep blasting 2 coats of phenolic 2 x 150
with non- epoxy:
Insulated stainless steel exterior surfaces of
vessels, piping, valves and other equipment with metallic and Total
chloride free 300
operating temperature up to 150 °C (Note 8)
grit to obtain
Un-insulated exterior surfaces of stainless steel anchor profile
vessels, piping and valves with OT >120°C and of
≤150°C (Note 8) approximately
37μm to 65μm. 1st Coat : Heat resistant 25

Coating system no. 6E: st

1 coat: Phenolic epoxy 125
Un-insulated stainless steel exterior surfaces of nd
2 coat: Phenolic epoxy 125
vessels, piping, valves with operating rd
temperatures up to 120°C when painting is 3 coat : Acrylic aliphatic

NOTE 1 Coatings for stainless steel shall not contain metallic zinc.
NOTE 2 6Mo and Super duplex stainless steel valves may be left uncoated. When such valves are
welded into the piping system, the coating shall cover the weld zone and an additional 40 mm of
the valve.
NOTE 3 Aluminium handrails located in living quarter shall be anodised.
NOTE 4 Aluminium, including handrails and ladders, shall only be painted if required by specific reason,
i.e. due to safety requirements etc.
NOTE 5 Hot dip galvanized steel may be coated with a 75µm polyester powder coating. Surface
preparation of the zinc prior to powder coating: Zinc manganese phosphate conversion coating.
NOTE 6 Aluminium may be coated with a 75 µm polyester coating. Surface preparation of the aluminium
prior to powder coating: Chromate conversion coating.
NOTE 7 Only topcoats already pre-qualified in coating system no. 1 shall be used for coating system 6A
and system no. 6B
NOTE 8 Use of solid SS 316/316L is restricted to maximum operating temperature limit of 60˚C. However
as per Technical Query 05-1_EPC-GE-AEI-Z-TQ-00003, solid SS 316/316L can be used above
60˚C operating temperature for low pressure, low criticality services such as lube oil, vent,
exhaust and cooling water (for diesel engines) with external coating.
NOTE 9 When perforated guards are used for personnel protection (NORSOK R-004 Insulation class 3
with OT < 150 °C), coating system to be selected as for un-insulated pipes and vessels.
