3.0 CONDITIONS OF DELIVERY

Packaging

Every recipient will be fitted with a hermetically-sealed lid with an opening that is sufficiently large to
allow the contents to be stirred: the outside and inside are protected against oxidation, and, the lid, are
marked with a strip of color identical to the contents.

4.0 COMPOSITION OF THE PAINT PRODUCTS USED

a) Quality

The composition and quality of the products may not differ from batch to batch. A batch is all of
the products of a specified manufacture. If the analyses of products bring to light that the
composition does not conform to the specifications of the paint manufacturer, the OWNER
may refuse to use this batch of products. The paint products must comply with the following
conditions

 They must have the viscosity necessary for the described use and the established
condition: use of the brush - paint roller (spray gun only for special cases and in the
workshop)

b) Quality control - Sampling

While the works are in progress on the construction site, the OWNER may carry out sampling
on the paint being used for the purpose of checking conformity. The paint products must be
made available free of charge to the laboratory or the approved supervisory body in sufficient
quantities so that all the tests can be carried out on the same batch.

If analyses reveal a non-conformity in the composition of the products used (tolerance of + 3 %

of the dosage of every component), the OWNER may refuse application of the product under
consideration, halt the work and have the nonconforming product already applied removed.

Before proceeding the work, a product that does conform will be required. The only Purpose of
the analysis is to reveal any nonconformity of the composition of the products. Their purpose is
therefore not to assess the quality of the different components. The analyses concerned are
not acceptance tests of the products supplied and in no way affect the obligations of the
contractor specified in the contract towards the OWNER.

authorize in writing, the taking up of surface preparation or painting work in any
specific location, even prior to completion of system test.

7.0 PREPARATION OF THE SURFACES

7.1 General Specifications

The cases that occur in practice on building sites, with regard to painted surfaces, can be broken down
as follows:

 Material of which the oxide content disappears by natural oxidation.

 Material that has already been covered with a layer of paint in the workshop.
 Material that is covered with old paint layers that show different degrees of weathering.

Good preparation of surface is the best guarantee for good anti-corrosion protection.

Paintwork may never begin until the surface to be treated is dry and is independent of the base coat
and cleared of dirt, dust, rust, scale, grease, salt attack, cement powder, cement mud-scale, sand, oil,
etc.

Based on the environmental conditions of coastal and saline nature, the Painting specification for
station pipes defines the complete requirements like:

 Surface preparation standards like NACE etc.

 Sand blasting process
 Color Codes for piping
 Paint materials types and their DFT measurement.
 Selection and application of paints on external surfaces.

The pipeline passes through the coastal and marine environment, the Table-4 of this specification to
be followed for the painting works.

The method of preparation of the surface will be implemented in accordance with the preparation
methods described below:

 Bright blast-cleaning
 Mechanical or Power tool cleaning
 Manual or hand tool cleaning

PLECO-F-006 © Pipeline Engineering Consultants

 SPECIFICATION NO.
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
P-SPC-410
FOR PAINTING
Page 8 of 32

The Contractor should have the required material at his disposal to clean the surfaces to be coated
thoroughly in accordance with the preparation methods regardless of the form or the condition of such
surfaces. The cleaning devices that might be damaged during the surface preparation shall be
screened off by the Contractor.

7.2 Air blast cleaning with abrasive

Before beginning cleaning by blasting, the person carrying out the work will take the following
measures:

 Clear the steel surface of oil and/or grease;

 Ensure that each flange collar (section where the sealing is applied) is properly screened off
against the blasting and the subsequent works;
 Check that no blasting grains can act into the pipes during this process. Any openings not
sealed off must be screened off;
 Where there are valves, regulators and other devices, the manufacturer's identification plate
will be dismantled so that all surfaces can be treated. The plate will then be put back again.
 Screen off all non-metal structures such as rubber where there is a filter;
 With valves, operators and other devices, care should be taken to ensure that no metal filings
or paint get into the apparatus:
 The OWNER reserves the right to carry out part or all of these works himself.

To prevent rust forming quickly as the result of humidity on the blasted surface, cleaning by blasting
may only be carried out when the temperature of the steel surface is at least 3°C higher than the dew-
point of the ambient air.

Blasting may not be carried out if the relative degree of humidity exceeds 80%. The choice of the type
of blasting medium used depends on local circumstances such as the possible presence of gas and
the material to be blasted.

The abrasive to be used must conform to the local law i.e. it may contain no carbon and less than 1%
free silicon dioxide. The Sa 3 will always be requested and must at least reach Sa 2½ during the initial
stage of the paintwork. For blasting followed by metallization, the surface preparation degree to be
achieved is always Sa 3. The degree of cleanliness to be obtained will be inspected in accordance with
the Swedish standard SVENSK STANDARD ISO 8501-1-1988 SIS 05.5900.

 Sa 3: surface blasted down to the bare metal; when the surface is inspected with a magnifying
glass, scale, rust and foreign bodies must be completely removed and it should be possible to
raise a metallic -shine on the treated surface.

 Sa 2 1/2: blasted very carefully. Scale, rust and foreign bodies must be removed in such a way
that anything left behind will only be visible as nuances (shading) or strips.

The blast-cleaning will be carried out by means of compressed air free of water and oil.

After the blasting and before painting, the surface should be completely cleaned of blasting material
and so forth with a soft brush, a dry cloth or dry compressed air.

7.3 Mechanical or Power tool cleaning

PLECO-F-006 © Pipeline Engineering Consultants

 SPECIFICATION NO.
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
P-SPC-410
FOR PAINTING
Page 9 of 32

If sandblasting is not permitted or if the metal structures are not easily accessible for blasting or
blasting for one reason or other is technically unfeasible, mechanical de rusting can be used instead.
With mechanical cleaning by means of chipping, rotating steel brushes and sanding discs, a degree of
cleanliness St. 3 should be reached.

St 3: removal of the old paint layers of which the adhesion leaves something to be desired and/or of
which the paint layer no longer fulfills the requirements.

If parts are present that are so corroded that St 3 is difficult to achieve, this should be notified to the
OWNER representative prior to the start of the works.

N.B:
St. 3: means removal of every old paint layer. Retouching means local polishing with St. 3 or Sa 3
followed by application of the desired painting system.

After mechanical cleaning, the surface should be made dust-flee with a cloth or a so brush, washed
with an organic solvent and thoroughly dried off with a dry cloth (e.g. with 1.1.1. Trichoroethane such
as Solvethane, Chloroethene).

7.4 Manual or Hand tool cleaning

Manual derusting with the aid of scrapers. steel brushes, sandpaper etc. shall only be permitted in
exceptional cases for local repairs. Any deviation there from must be requested from the OWNER/
OWNER 's Representative.

With manual derusting, a surface preparation degree St 3 must be obtained. The length of the handles
of the equipment used may not exceed 50 cm.

7.5 Preparation of a surface covered with a layer of paint in the workshop.

This layer is in general applied by the manufacturer, for example, on valves, regulators etc. Layers of
this kind will be checked for their proper adhesion in accordance with ASTM D 3359, method A
(Standard Test Method for measuring adhesion by tape test). The adhesion should be at least.

If the paint layer shows less adhesion or is incompatible with the rest of the system it should be
completely removed. If the paint layer is not removed, the Contractor accepts it in the state in which the
coating is found and the guarantee remains in force. The adhesion does not have to be examined if
system 63 has already been applied in the workshop on behalf of the OWNER.

The Contractor, who must provide for the protection on the construction site, must therefore obtain the
information regarding the treatment of the surface and the quality of the paint that was used and must,
moreover, examine the adhesion of the layer on the construction site, the percentage of damage and
weathering as well as the value of the preparation of the surface in the workshop together with the
thickness thereof that must be supplemented if necessary.

a) Galvanized surface

PLECO-F-006 © Pipeline Engineering Consultants

 SPECIFICATION NO.
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
P-SPC-410
FOR PAINTING
Page 10 of 32

Galvanized surfaces, both old and new will be carefully roughened up. Every foreign body
(concrete splatters, chalk marks, grease and oil stains, etc.) will be removed. Thereafter, rub
the surfaces with abundant water and, if necessary, with cleaning products.

To this end, nylon brushes will be used for every kind of dirt as well as for removing zinc salt
residue. Thereafter, the surfaces will be treated in accordance with system 21. Where the zinc
layer is lacking, it will be derusted manually to a degree of cleanliness St 3, after which a
primer coat will be applied in accordance with system 22.

b) Metallized surfaces treated with an impregnation layer

 Degrease with the desired degreasing product:

 Clean under high pressure or with a product prescribed by the paint supplier.

If the paint layer adheres well and is applied on a clean base, the painting system described may be
continued. If the percentage of damage and weathering does not exceed 5 % m. retouching may be
considered. These partial repairs will be carried out.

If on the other hand, the percentage of damage does exceed 5 %/m or if the layer applied in the
workshop comes loose the Contractor must draw the attention of the OWNER to this and carry out the
complete application system.

7.6 Preparation of surfaces covered with earlier paint layers that show different degrees of weathering.

If the surfaces do not show deep weathering limited to the spread of rust by small pitted areas or non-
penetrative rust in spots, it will very often be sufficient to clean the surfaces with abrasives or with an
abrasive disc, then to rub them down with steel wool, remove the dust and wash off. If thick rust
appears, in spots, scale rust and active rust canker, this should be removed with needle hammers or
stripped away directly by blasting, removing the dust and washing off.

7.7 Preparation of concrete or cement plaster surfaces

Remove unsound paint layers and loose components with scrapers, blades or rotating steel brushes.
Thoroughly clean the entire surface with water containing ammonia. Thoroughly remove moss, algae
and fungal growths. Where these growths have been removed, treat the area with a fungicide in
accordance with the instructions for use.

Once the entire area is completely dry, brush off the dead residue of moss, algae and fungus with a
hard brush. In the case of reinforcement steel that has been laid bare, remove as rust, dust and grease
as possible and treat with a printer coat. When painting concrete surfaces, they must first be checked
for cracks. Cracks larger than 0.3 mm must be repaired with an appropriate system in accordance with
the type and extent of the repairs (e.g. injection with epoxy mortar). Repair damage such as cracks and
bursts to concrete parts with a two-component mortar or preferably with micro-mortars. Finally check
the alkalinity of the surface with the aid of litmus paper and neutralize it if necessary.

7.8 Use of solvents

It is sometimes necessary to use solvents when the surfaces to be painted are streaked with grease or
oil. In this case a suitable organic solvent should be applied. The operation should be carried out with
the aid of clean brushes or rags and clean solvent.

All the legal specifications in connection with solvents etc. must be adhered to. The
OWNER/OWNER's Representative will be informed in advance of any toxicity or flammability. All
measures must be taken to prevent any risk of fire and to nick out any possibility of poisoning
(ventilation). The Contractor will provide drip collectors to keep the environment free of pollution.

7.9 Condition of the metal after stripping

The Contractor must call in a representative of the OWNER/OWNER's representative or of the

Approved supervisory Body responsible for checking the condition of the metal during stripping and
informing the OWNER/OWNER's representative immediately of any damage that he might have
noticed.

 Deep corrosion of the plates - rivets - bolts

 Faulty welding
 Fittings that appear to be dangerous because of their age.

7.10 Removing coating from surface pipelines

The Contractor must have the equipment necessary for the removal of asphalt from the pipe without
damaging the latter (scratching, impact, etc,). The Contractor undertakes to carry out the work in
accordance with an approved procedure.

 The metallizing is always carried out on dry parts in good weather conditions (maximum
relative humidity 80 %);

 For metallization, a wire composed of 85 % zinc and 15 % aluminum with a minimum guaranteed
degree of purity of 99.5 % is used (subject to other specifications). The application thereof is
always carried out in accordance with the conditions of the manufacturer and may at all times be
submitted to the OWNER’s representative.

 The sealant should be applied maximum 3 hours alter metallization.

 The sealant must be thinned and applied as per the present specifications. A visual
inspection whereby the sealant completely covers the metallization will suffice here.

 When evaluating the metallization, a negative deviation from the minimum coating
thickness, to 80 µ for 20% of the measurements will be permitted.

9.0 COATING PROCEDURE AND APPLICATION

9.1 Conditions for carrying out paintwork

Painting may not be carried out in unsuitable conditions.

All preparatory work and painting may only he carried out in dry weather and at a minimum
temperature of 10C, except for special eases requested by the OWNER's Representative.

Unless otherwise stipulated in the specifications of the paint supplier, application of the paint is
forbidden if it is forecast that the temperature will fall to below 0C before the paint is dry. The
temperature of-the surface to be painted must be at least 3°C higher than the dew point of the ambient
air. Application of the paint is also not permitted if there is a danger that the coat of paint will not be dry
before dew or condensation sets in.

The work must be stopped:

 If the temperature of the surface to be painted is higher than that described by the supplier.

 In rain, snow, mist or fog or when the relative humidity is higher than 80 %.

Coats that have not yet dried and have been exposed to frost, mist, snow or rain and might thereby be
damaged must be removed after drying and the surfaces must be repainted at the expense of the
Contractor.

Working in direct sunlight or in hot weather must be avoided,

The first coat of paint must be applied maximum 3 hours after the preparation of the surface of the
relative humidity of the air is between 50% and 80%. This time span may be increased to 6 hours if the
relative humidity is less than 50%. In all cases, the preparation of the surface must exhibit degree Sa 3
and at the very least the appearance of degree Sa 2 ½ at the time of painting.

9.2 Special conditions

Painting may be carried out when the Contractor can be sure that the instructions of the paint supplier
have been scrupulously followed with regard to the parameters in the following (non-exhaustive) list:

 Ambient temperature.

 Surface temperature.

 Relative humidity.

 Dew point.

 Drying times.

The Contractor must in this respect be able to produce the instructions for the paint on the site. The
OWNER/CONSULTANT will guarantee 100% supervision in this regard during the execution of the
work.

In addition, the paintwork may only be carried out to a minimum ambient temperature of 5°C and/or to
a maximum relative degree of humidity of 85 %. Application of the paint is also not permitted if there is
a danger that the coat of paint will not be dry before dew or condensation sets in.

18.2 Precautions to be taken

Neither the environment of the site nor the marking labels of devices may be covered with paint nor
must they be kept free of paint splashes. To this end, it is advisable to use removable masking tape.

Paint splashes, leaks, etc. on any adjacent installations such as measuring apparatus, valves, pipes.
Sources of light, insulation, heat insulators, walls, concrete, etc, must immediately be wiped up and the
damage repaired before the paint is dry.

Otherwise, the OWNER will be obliged to have the cleaning carried out at the expense of the
Contractor. The paint recipient will only be opened at the time of use (unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer).

The product will be mixed in the recipient with the aid of suitable tools and thus homogenized.

18.3 Method of application

Normally, three methods of application will be used on the construction site for the paint products. i.e.
with a brush, with a roller or with a spray gun.

 The brush method makes it possible to obtain good penetration of the paint over irregularities in the
metal.

 Only this method will be used for application of the base coats, for retouching and for protrusions,
welded areas, riveted joints or bolted joints:

 The roller method may be used on large flat surfaces for the intermediate and topcoats.

 The spray gun method must be used in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer and
carried out by qualified personnel.

The Contractor must guarantee that all safety measures have been taken for such work. The spray gun
method may only he used on site for places that are difficult to reach with the brush. In this case, a
request must be made to the OWNER/ OWNER's Representative for a deviation.

All paintwork will be carried out with good brushes or rollers that are suitable for the type of paint being
used and for the form of the material to be painted and fitted with short handles. The maximum length
of the brush and roller handles will be 50 cm; longer handles may only be used for places that are
absolutely inaccessible. The maximum width of a brush will be 13 cm.

18.4 Application of the coating

Application of the paint will be carried out in accordance with best practice in order to obtain a
homogeneous and continuous layer. The OWNER or the Approved Supervisory body demands that

PLECO-F-006 © Pipeline Engineering Consultants

 SPECIFICATION NO.
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
P-SPC-410
FOR PAINTING
Page 29 of 32

painting of a layer will only be started after acceptance by them of the surface preparation or of the
previous layer of paint.

The layers of paint must have a uniform thickness. They must he spread in such a way that all concave
parts are dried out and that the surface is completely covered and has a glossy appearance without
leaving brush marks and without exhibiting bubbles, foam, wrinkles, drips, craters, skins or gums that
arise from weathered paint,

Each layer must have the color stipulated in the tables of the present specifications, which clearly
differs from the previous layer, taking account of the Color of the top layer, all of which for the purpose
of being able to identify the number of coats and their order of sequence. If the color of the coats is not
mentioned in the tables the color difference in consecutive coats must, if possible, he at least 100 RAL.
The color of the top layer is given in the table.

The coating power should be such that the underlying layer is not visible. Only 1 layer per day may be
applied, unless otherwise specified by the OWNER or the Approved Supervisory Body.

The drying times prescribed by the paint manufacturer must be strictly observed in relation to the
environmental conditions before proceeding with the application of the next layer.

The dry coating thickness indicated in the description of the paint systems are minimum thickness. In
this connection, the Contractor is obliged to contact the paint manufacturer and conform to his
guidelines. The Contractor must respect the thickness specified by the supplier.

18.5 Transporting treated items

In the case of works being carried out in a workshop, the metal structures will be surrounded by
ventilated contraction film that prevents damage during transportation. This film may only be applied
after complete polymerization of the paint.

19.0 GROUND-LEVEL TRANSITION POINT

19.1 Polyester protection system

The Contractor will provide system 02 over the entire length of the pipes above ground and below
ground and up to a height of 20 cm and a depth of 40 cm. perpendicular to the ground level mark. In
each case, he must ensure that the jointing below the asphalt is in good condition and assures'
faultless adhesion. He will apply the following products over the entire surface area, prepared in
accordance with is Sa 3:

1) The primer of system 01.

2) Reinforced polyester ± 20 cm above the ground level marker and ± 5 cm on the asphalt cleaned
beforehand (application of reinforced polyester is carried out in accordance with the work
method prescribed by the manufacturer). Moreover, in the case of PE, in contrast to asphalt,
he will apply a polygon primer to PE immediately before applying the reinforced polyester.

3) He will then apply the other coats of system 01a to the surface section and thus cover the
reinforced polyester with about 5 cm.

PLECO-F-006 © Pipeline Engineering Consultants

 SPECIFICATION NO.
STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
P-SPC-410
FOR PAINTING
Page 30 of 32

4) For new constructions, the polygon primer will be applied to PE and then subsequently
processed as described under point 2.

20.0 USE OF SCAFFOLDING

Mounting, maintenance and dismantling of scaffolding for carrying out adaptation and/or paintwork to
surface gas pipes or gas transport installations in use;

 The Contractor will specify the cost of scaffolding in the price list.

 The supplementary rental price for delays attributable to the Contractor will be charged to him:

 In his price quotation the Contractor should present the OWNER with diagrams of the scaffolding
that he intends to install for carrying out the works of the OWNER.

21.0 QUALITY CONTROLS AND GUARANTEE

21.1 The Contractor is responsible for checking the weather conditions to ascertain whether the paintwork
can be carried out within the technical specifications.

The Contractor should have the required calibrated monitoring apparatus for this purpose on site (with
calibration certificates). The personnel who will have to use this apparatus should have the training for
this purpose.

The OWNER or his representative and possibly the approved supervisory body indicated by the
OWNER will maintain supervision during the works and inspect the works with random checks. A daily
report will be drawn up in relation to the department that maintains supervision of these works.

The supplementary inspection and the supervision by the OWNER or the approved supervisory body
do not diminish in any way the liability of the Contractor. The proper execution of the work and the
materials used may be checked at any time.

21.2 Reference Surfaces

At the start of the works. The OWNER or the approved supervisory body will indicate a few surfaces
that the Contractor will prepare and cover in accordance with the recognized method of operation
under the inspection and to the satisfaction of all parties; the OWNER or his representative, the
approved supervisory body, the contractor and possibly the paint manufacturer. These reference
surfaces will serve as a point of comparison for the good adhesion of the paint on the installations as a
whole. The parties will together work out a system for the identification of these surfaces in order to be
able to monitor the conditions of the coatings over time. If the paintwork on a section of the installations
is in a worse condition than the reference surfaces, the Contractor may be obliged to treat these parts
again.

21.3 Measures to be taken in the event of a dispute

If on delivery of the works no agreement can be reached between the Contractor and the OWNER
regarding the conformity of the works to the requirements of these specifications, an Approved
Supervisory Body will he Called in. The Approved Supervisory Body will then carry out inspections' on
site whereby the following assessment criteria will be used:
