List of Table
Protective coating performance and life is highly dependant on surface preparation and
cleanliness. The quality of the surface preparation and the removal of chlorides is much more
important than the choice of brand among generically equivalent coatings. Failing to follow
surface preparation in the specification may result shorter service life of the coating.
Grit blasting always provides a better surface than do mechanical or hand surface preparation
and grit blasting should be used whenever practical. Hand and mechanical preparation is suitable
for small areas and when blasting could damage adjacent equipment.
This specification is not intended to restrict the brand of coating used in a repair. It is emphasized
to use the same brand for all coating layers in the repair work but it does not have to be the same
brand as the original paint. Other products from these suppliers and other suppliers may be
considered for use. Suppliers must be able to show a track-record of success with sufficient
references and shall be able to provide the complete suite of products required for the project at
hand.
Where an item or structure is not specifically referenced herein, or there is doubt with respect to
selecting the correct coating system, a consultation should be made to ConocoPhillips coating
consultant for guidance in selecting the correct coating system.

Table 6 shows approved coating and lining systems for use in maintenance coating. For each
coating system, It consists of required surface preparation, coating material and DFT of each layer.
In the case of the intended system is not covered by coating system in this specification, it is
advised to use the project specification or consult to ConocoPhillips Coating Consultant.
9 Color Coding
This specification does not cover color coding and shall be per original project requirement.
10 Surface Preparation
10.1 General
Dry abrasive blasting shall be used for remedial coating work offshore at onshore facilities unless
directed otherwise by ConocoPhillips.
Alternate surface preparation methods may be used where dry abrasive blasting will cause offence
or explosive risk. Such methods appear below in descending order of preference:
• Wet Abrasive Blasting (WB)
• UHP Water Jetting (WJ)
• Power tool cleaning (PT) (< 100cm2 only)
• Hand tool cleaning (HT) (< 100cm2 only)
Surface preparation shall only be performed in daylight or under artificial lighting that is equal to
daylight and free of shadows.
In the event of spot repair where the original coating is still intact and only the top-coat has started
to peel or fade, the coating does not have to be striped down to bare steel. Any remaining good
coating shall be abraded and remove the damaged coating down to sound coating and apply top
coat from it after performing required surface preparation. The coating system in this specification
is compatible with original coating material for topcoat repair.
Otherwise, the original coating shall be completely striped down to the steel.

conforming surface profile for the end use. UHP Water Jetting shall not be used to prepare
surfaces devoid of conforming surface profile or for coatings intended for immersion service, i.e.,
vessel and tank linings and high heat or under insulation.
Only potable grade water shall be used. Corrosion inhibitors shall not be used under any
circumstances.
Upon completion of the UHP Water jetting, pooled water, coating and corrosion residues shall be
removed by vacuum loading and immediately followed by a HP Fresh Water Wash and further
vacuum loading to the entire area in order to reduce the concentration of any residual marine
deposits.
The resultant UHP Water Jetting surface cleanliness standard should equal the NACE WJ1
standard appropriate for the initial surface pre-condition.
Where UHP Water Jetting terminates at a soundly coated section, the edges of the soundly coated
section shall be ground back to a smooth transition over a distance approximating 100 x the DFT
of the sound coating. Particular care shall be taken to ensure that damaged edges of the adjacent
coating are ground back to sound uniform coating with no cohesive or adhesive weakness.
Grinding shall be performed using 4” air-driven grinders fitted with “non-sparking” polymer abrasive
discs.
Unless otherwise specified, the general conditions of SSPC SP 2 / St 3.0 – Power tool cleaning
shall apply to all power tool cleaning.

11 Coating Application
11.1 General
Coating application shall only be performed by competent applicators during daylight hours or
under artificial lighting that is equal to daylight and free of shadows.
Coating materials and thinners shall be stored at less than 25 oC in an undercover facility meeting
statutory requirements for flammable and toxic liquids. Coating stored in conditions of higher
temperatures shall not be used.
Inorganic zinc primer (IOZ) shall only be applied using air-atomized spray equipment fitted with an
effective and continuous agitation device.
All other Coating Systems shall be applied by airless or air-atomized spray equipment.
Airless spray equipment shall be operated and maintained in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s requirements. Effective earthing shall be fitted to eliminate any risk of static
electricity discharge.
Brushes shall only be used for “stripe coating” to edges, welds or pitted sections, or, with the
approval of ConocoPhillips, for application of coating to small repair sections.
Subject to the prevailing ambient conditions, abrasive blasted surfaces are at risk of “flash
corrosion” within a short period of time. Accordingly, abrasive blasting and prime coating should be
planned in such a manner as to avoid the risk of “flash corrosion” and / or applying coating to
compromised surfaces.
Coating shall not be applied to any prepared surface exhibiting “flash corrosion” or that has been
abrasive blasted for more than 4 hrs.
Coating shall not be applied when the % Relative Humidity exceeds 85%, the steel surface
temperature is above 45oC or within 3oC of dew point or when strong wind would cause “dry spray”
or irregular DFT. Application of coatings above 85% RH shall require written approval by
ConocoPhillips and noted on daily inspection report.
IOZ coating should not be applied if the ambient conditions are likely to create “dew point”
conditions on the steel within 4 hours of application.
Surfaces or sub-coats shall be dry, free of abrasive blasting residues, marine fallout, bird
droppings or other contaminants prior to applying the coating.
The Contractor shall ensure small batch components are available for mixing small quantities of
coating. Mixing of part kits is not permitted under any circumstances.
The Supplier’s recommended thinners and thinning ratios shall be strictly observed. Thinner batch
no’s and thinning ratios shall be reported on the Daily Inspection Report.

All member edges, complex structural features, pitted steel, welds and studding materials shall be
“brush stripe” coated with the specified coating immediately prior to spray application.
The “brush stripe” coat shall be of a contrasting color to coating above, and below, such as to
enable a retrospective verification for compliance with this requirement by destructive testing using
a PIG device.
Contractors shall order coating materials such as to ensure that the color of each coat within a
multi-coat system shall be of a contrasting color to the coat above and the coat below.
This requirement is intended to enable a retrospective determination of the DFT values for each
coat within the coating system by the use of a Paint Inspection Gauge (PIG) instrument
(destructive testing).
When treating large structures or areas that cannot be treated in one day, a 100 mm strip of
prepared surface shall be left uncoated for re-blasting and coating the following day. This
procedure is intended to ensure that no untreated strips remain between each day’s surface
preparation and coating production.
The Contractor shall ensure the Supplier’s coating cure graph showing the mixed “pot life”, touch
dry, re-coat intervals (min and max) is available at the work site. Re-coat intervals shall be as per
Supplier’s recommendation and shall be reported on the Daily Inspection Report.
For non-structural integrity related of voids, gaps, and pitted, epoxy putty shall be used to fill it or
any surface that cannot be “bridged” with one coat of brush applied HB Epoxy.
Applied coatings shall have even and consistent finish free of defects such as, although not limited
to mud cracks, misses, runs, slumps, sags, craters, “fish eyes”, pinholes, entrapped air, solvent,
spent abrasive or other foreign matter.
12 Acceptance Criteria
12.1 General

The following “in process” verification procedures shall be noted on the Contractor’s ITP
document/s.
All surfaces to be coated shall be clean and free of dust and other contaminants prior to the
application of coating.
Corroded and pitted steel shall be tested for chloride contamination upon completion of the final
abrasive blasting in accordance with ISO 8502-6 and shall have a maximum of 30mg/m2 NaCl.
Metal “comb” WFT gauge shall be used frequently during the application of coatings.
Contractors shall be capable of calculating the % volume solids reduction for different thinning
ratios. “Target” WFT values shall be noted on the Daily Inspection Report.
DFT values shall be determined using a magnetic induction instrument calibrated in accordance
with SSPC-PA2.
The "in process" DFT readings shall be taken at 3 “points” within any 10cm 2 area. The average of
the 3 “point” readings becomes a “spot measurement”.
A minimum of 5 separate “spot measurements” shall be taken over each 10m 2 “section” the coated
surfaces. For small or intricate structure such as deck trusses, the frequency of DFT readings shall
be increased to 10 readings per 10m2 “section”.
No single “point” reading shall be less than 90% of the minimum specified DFT value. No averaged
“spot measurement” shall be less than the minimum specified DFT value. No single "point
measurement" shall be above 130% of the maximum specified DFT value.
The Contractor shall perform a sufficient number of “spot measurements” in a manner such as to
enable a comprehensive understanding for the DFT compliance for that area. Particular attention
shall be given to areas that may be more difficult to apply coating to the specified requirements.
Any subsequent DFT inspection performed by any other party finding DFT “over-run” or “under-
run” values beyond the values detailed above shall be cause for rework of the non-conforming
section at no cost to ConocoPhillips.
The Contractor shall perform adhesion testing as part of the coating qualification. If there is any
question regarding adhesion during production then adhesion testing may be performed per ASTM
D4541.
Coating with an adhesive and or cohesive failure of less than 3 MPa shall be considered non-
conforming.
The test method, locations and results shall be noted in the Daily Inspection Report.
Where adhesion/cohesion testing has been found to be non-conforming, further adhesion testing
as required by ConocoPhillips shall be performed to determine the full extent of defective coating.
Costs associated with this adhesion testing, the removal and the re-instatement of defective
coating shall be borne by the Contractor.

The following procedures shall be performed to determine the coating cure state.
Solvent borne IOZ coatings shall be tested for cure in accordance with the procedure detailed in
ASTM D4752.
Where plural component airless spray application is used the Contractor shall take a small sample
(75ml coupon) of catalyzed material representative of each 30 minutes of production. Sample
coupons shall be test for cure as for production coating. In addition, the time for coating “gel” shall
be observed and noted in the Daily Inspection Report. Any variation with respect to “gel” time for
sample coupons shall be cause to cease production coating and consult Supplier for guidance. In
such an event, all production coating performed since the last satisfactory “gel” time result shall be
considered non-conforming requiring removed and reinstatement to a conforming standard.
Where UHB Epoxy is applied by plural component airless spray the Contractor shall confirm
effective operation of mixing chamber/device by dispensing sample batches (coupons) of mixed
material typical for each 60-minute production period. Sample coupons shall be tested for cure in
conjunction with the relevant production coating. Any variation with respect to cure state of the
coupon and the production coating shall be cause to take core samples as directed by
ConocoPhillips for intra-film cure testing.
Cure test methods, locations and results shall be noted in the Daily Inspection Report.
Coating systems with a total DFT of < 500µm shall be tested by “Wet Sponge” continuity testing in
accordance with NACE RP0188.
Coating Systems with a total DFT > 500µm shall be tested using an Elcometer High Voltage
Holiday Detector, or similar, in accordance with NACE RP0188.
Defects such as pinholes, cracks, blisters, voids, foreign inclusions and “rogue” peaks shall be
marked for repair and retested when the repair coating is fully cured.

Coated areas found by continuity testing to have particulate contamination or voids at a frequency
greater than 5 “holidays” per 5m2 section shall be considered non-conforming. Such coating shall
be removed and reworked to a conforming standard.
Coated items shall be loaded in a manner that ensures the coating is not damaged in transport.
Suitable carpet scraps shall be placed between coated members and hold-down chains or straps.
Unless otherwise stated, the Contractor is liable to repair coating damaged in transit to a
conforming standard at no cost to Company.

13.1 Repair methods
Repairs to non-conforming or damaged coating shall be performed as per the original application
and all other requirements of this Specification.
Power wire brushing or sanding shall not be used in lieu of abrasive blasting unless approved by
ConocoPhillips.
The original and sound coating adjacent to any repair area shall be “feathered” by spot abrasive
blasting to create a smooth transition exposing at least 50 mm of each sub-coat within the
surrounding coating.
All defects and repair procedures shall be noted in the Daily Inspection Report. Drawings noting
the location of repair sections should be attached to the Inspection Report.
