4.0 Pre-Cleaning 4.1 Surface Profile: Protective Coatings and Linings

The document discusses surface preparation for protective coatings and linings. It provides guidelines for determining the required surface profile or anchor pattern based on coating thickness. It also specifies that the contractor is responsible for measuring surface roughness and that abrasives used for blast cleaning steel must generally meet ISO standards. Specific abrasive materials that meet these standards are outlined in a table. Blasting of stainless steel requires using aluminum oxide or other non-contaminating abrasives.

4.0 PRE-CLEANING

4.1 SURFACE PROFILE


4.1.1 Roughness or anchor pattern measurement shall be carried out by the Contractor using
instruments and procedures approved by the Owner. Where anchor patterns are not specified
in the CM technical data sheet, Table 4.1 below shall be used as a guide for determining the
anchor pattern.

Dry film thickness Anchor pattern

125-200 microns (5-8 mills) 25-50 microns (1 -2 mills)

200-500 microns (9-20 mills) 50-76 microns (2-3 mills)

> 500 microns (>20 mills) 75-125 microns (3-5 mills)

125-200 microns (5-8 mills) 25-50 microns (1 -2 mills)


Table 4.1: Relationship between Coating Thickness and Anchor Pattern

4.1.2 Abrasives used in blast cleaning steels shall generally be in accordance with ISO 8504-2 and
Table 4.2. In the event of other type of abrasive media not described in ISO 8504-2 and Table
4.2 is to be used, prior written approval from Owner shall be obtained.
