8. REPAIR OF COATING
This procedure is also applicable for repairing of the APCS-113A coatings, i.e.
APCS-113A is compatible repair coating for APCS-113A.
Unless specified otherwise, the sound coating adjacent to the defect being repaired
shall be roughened for a distance of at least 50 mm using at least the equivalent of
80 grit emery papers. Exposed pipe surfaces shall be cleaned to near white metal,
Sa 2.5.

Areas smaller than 1450 mm2 use an epoxy patching compound approved by the
RSA.
Areas larger than 1450 mm2 use fast curing solvent free epoxy systems only as
per aPCS-113A or other RSA approved products.
The repair coating shall overlap the adjacent sound coating by at least 10 mm to
maximum 20 mm. Coating application shall meet the minimum required DFT with 2
or more coats.
After meeting the minimum & maximum re-coating interval as per manufacturer
data sheet, once the paint is dry, the area of the patch repair will be holiday tested
& released for backfilling.
Inspection of the final coating application shall be in accordance with the SAES-H-
001, APCS-113A and inspection checklist SAIC-H-2050.
Total DRY Film Thickness (DFT) of APCS-113A shall be 600 1,000 microns for
the coatings with solids greater than 85 %. Reference: SAES-H-002V, APCS-113A,
Interzone 485 dated 30 May 2009.
11. RECORDS
All records relevant to above procedure shall be kept by the QC Manager in the site
